Why do 70 of people have blurry vision and glassescontactslasik?Krystin
Especially since Bates was supposed to have figured out how most people are supposed to have "natural perfect" eyesight a hundred years ago?

Optometry may have been new in the early 1900's but it had pretty much hoisted itself and its methods as the authority in eyesight. One of its own promising and highly accomplished Opthalmologists, Dr. William H. Bates, was discovering that Optometry was going in the wrong direction. He helped countless people including many in optometry escape the crutches of glasses and see much better naturally. 20\15 was the average eyesight among the people he helped. Because he was interfering with what optometry was establishing and had built, the Optometric Society kicked him out.~70% percent of people have some kind of blurry vision because they are using their eyes incorrectly. Our culture tends to encourage incorrect vision habits of holding our eyes still and spreading out our attention.Many of the things Dr. Bates did were called eye exercises, but they were no where near what is pushed by snake oil salesman as eye exercises. Because Dr. Bates was so successful many people tried to copy him. The best they could come up with was eye pushups and eye drills. These are real "eye exercises" which tend to encourage more effort and strain.True Natural Eyesight Improvement teachers call Dr. Bates' eye exercises "Self Healing Activities" and "Principles of Natural Perfect Eyesight" to differentiate them from eye pushups, eye aerobics, and eye yoga. What is being pushed as eye exercises today have nothing to do with the Bates method and natural perfect eyesight. When the true Bates method is taught and learned correctly, all people receive benefit. First they notice an amazing release of tension and strain, then they eventually notice improvement in clarity and mental ability until they have great clarity. Very few people and even natural eyesight teachers understand the real Bates method.

Bates didn't figure anything out. He just didn't understand how the eyes functioned.Optometry was very new back then and there were many misconceptions....it was in the 1920's btw.The % is probably close to 70%...the last published government report was for 1993 I believe, and it was 64% at that time.

because most people are not aware of or don't believe in the Bates method or natural vision improvement

It is not true that seventy percent of people need glasses.And Bates "method" doesn't work.
