  • This guy hasn't tried anything he just says it won't work. Typical doctor. My Dad fixed his own eyes using different methods and no longer needs glasses.

  • @Andgrey hi im interested to improve my vision. ive read alot of stuff and i think i have some improvement but not yet enough to stop wearing glasses. What did your father use if i may ask? For me just relaxing,slowing down the mind, and wearing a plus powered lens on one eye seems to be most useful things ive found

see all

  • This video accomplished nothing

  • In order to get "rid" of your minus lens -- you must pass the DMV (20/40) line on the Snellen. It was Dr. Bates statement that he could get a person's Snellen clear to that level -- PROVIDED, the person never started wearing a minus lens. But let us not argue -- that is indeed the second-opinion.

  • If you wisht to learn how to "prevent", the YouTube has some video you can watch them by typing, "Myopia Prevention". He says, "costs $200 or more". The truth? Wise prevention costs nothing -- but strong wisdom and persistence. Oh, and read your Eye Chart.

  • If you check your vision with your own trial-lens kit -- you can normally obtain 20/20 with a spherical lens. Astig. "prescription" is therefore not necesary -- in my opinion.
