Thank you and have a relaxing day!
Meir and I studied in the same college. He struggled to see things clearly and I helped him write his notes. Now he is seeing 20/60. I am proud of him.
Meir is a legend.Respect to you,Sir.
I have his book vision for life. I will highly recommend this book to everyone here
Agreed! It was an honor to have him on my show, especially since he was one of the very first natural vision educators I ever learned from back in 2012.
I just spoke with Meir last week and will be working with him soon. He's such a nice man.
Oh good! There's nothing quite like working with a natural vision teacher in-person.
Thanks, Nathan! Your a blessing!
I got his Eye See Clearly book and finally met him now. Thanks! Awesome helps and testimonies!
I was wrong. He did not write I see clearly. Mier has an awesome testimony. Very encouraging!
Yeah, you can see all of Meir's books at self-healing.org/product-category/books
Love the lighting in your space Nathan. And the info! Thank you!
Gee thanks! I was hoping the moving lights in the background would create some relaxation in your peripheral field as you watch the video :)
I have power -12 and more in both eyes. I have now been advised surgery for grade 2-3 cataract in left eye and grade 1 in right eye. I had given up hope to see clearly without glasses. Seeing this podcast, i see that there is a hope. But i don't know where or how to start
Glad you found the Bates Method! I would give Episode 19 of The Better Eyesight Podcast a listen, which is all about dealing with cataracts naturally.
Super Video! I have glaucoma and myopia. I just started my vision recovery journey. Meir said Sonic?? is always lower eye pressure. @39minues. It is not clear what does that mean?
Thank you Nathan and Meir - such a great interview ! Very helpful to know about relaxing stiffness out of your body from toes to head as increased blood flow to your eyes is so important - brilliant ! Plus many more great tips here too. Meir is a legend !
Yes! Vision is a full body experience that depends on relaxation and ease from head to toe!
Any remedy for cataract other than surgery?
Loved the podcast...Thankyou Nathan sir
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Wow...the synchronization...
Auspicious eh?
This is such a great story! Thank you for doing this podcast.
I know, Meir has inspired so many people around the world, it's amazing!
@@NathanOxenfeld I have question for you Nathan can we reverse blue light entropic phenomena and visual snow ..please give some tips on astigmatism and photopobia I am suffering lot please help
@@varunpatel187 Nope
@@jamesberg2226 are you suffering from it ?
@@varunpatel187 Nope buddy! Just saying to you.
what was your prescription when you first started your vision restoration journey? how long did it take to go back to 20/20?
I was around -4.00 myopia & -2.00 astigmatism when I learned about the Bates Method. In total it took me about 4 years to get back to sustainable 20/20. Keep in mind, I started getting temporary clear flashes of 20/20 or better much sooner than that, but it took longer for it to become more permanent.

Nathan while doing nose drawing we have to focus on tip of nose or the surrounding things?
Focus on the target you are "drawing", not the tip of your nose. Also don't forget to do lots of nose drawings with your eyes closed too, so you're involving your memory and imagination.
Improving EPI macular pucker? Hummmm. Tell me more. That’s my goal and I would like hear about this! What are you suggestion. Thanks.
Practice the Bates Method! Try some swinging, sunning, palming, and visualizing to start. It's all about relaxation. I have lots of instructional videos on my channel for learning the Bates Method.
Hi Nathan. I have fast question. Can I wear glasses or contact lenses while I playing tennis, or it can stooped my vision progress?
You can wear glasses/contacts when needed, but I would also encourage you to try playing tennis with the naked eye from time to time... maybe just when practicing or messing around, not necessarily when you're trying to win haha. Most sports, when played without glasses, can be very stimulating and beneficial for the natural vision training process. Glasses and contacts may slow down the vision improvement process, but you don't want to deny yourself the need/want for them while you're in the process of improving.
@@NathanOxenfeld thank you very much. I will try. You're the great inspirational person. Good luck!
He spoke of improving a macular pucker! Tell me more. I’m on the same mission. How can I get his techniques for this?
Practice the Bates Method! Try some swinging, sunning, palming, and visualizing to start. It's all about relaxation. I have lots of instructional videos on my channel for learning the Bates Method.
@@NathanOxenfeld thank you. I’ll check it out. Can I do sunning through a window?
@@joycedoucet3622 Nope.
Nathan I heard that you are a great fan of Jake Steiner's active focus method. What's your opinion on our eye guru?
I do not teach active focus, I teach the Bates Method. According to the Bates Method, staring is a bad vision habit and blinking is one of the easiest ways to break that bad habit. So I would encourage you to blink instead of stare.
@@NathanOxenfeldI think you should wear spectacles Nathan. There's no relation between my question and your answer. What's your opinion on OUR eye guru Jake Steiner?
Can I opine on Jake? Jake spends as much time trashing the Bates method as he does promoting the active focus. That is the reason I would never get a lesson from him.
I took lessons with Nathan instead. Much more honest and transparent.
@@enibeni3783 And Nathan is a nice person , & puts out positive energy . That's an important part of healing .
He looks like the mobster record label guy from The sopranos
I still haven't watched The Sopranos, but I'll keep an eye out when I finally get around to it ;)
Sottotitoli mai ?🤦🏼♀️
नेचुरल एयेविसीयों बेस्ट है
Lol. Your age kid?
Yoga fixed my eyesight, said no one ever. Try this on a blind guy. Sell your business.
No one has ever said yoga fixed their eyesight? That's precisely what both Meir and I are saying in this video... that combining Yoga and the Bates Method helped significantly restore our eyesight naturally. Not only has that helped me and Meir, but he provides many examples of other people improving as well. Meir even created a video series called Yoga For Your Eyes, which is one of the first times I learned that yoga can help eyesight. Not to mention the Netra Vyayamam (yogic eye movements) that people have been getting benefits from for hundreds, if not thousands of years. If you want to hear actual success stories with blind patients, listen to the March 1921 episode of the Better Eyesight Podcast, which is all about the Bates Method helping with blindness.
