Thanks for addressing the body and brain connection. I got my first pair of glasses in elementary school when I was bullied and had no friends. Also the eye doctor told me that the reason why I’m nearsighted is that my eyeball is too long and that it’s supposed to be round. I guess he was right but I feel like that reinforced my belief that my eyes are messed up and that I have a poor vision and there’s nothing I can do about it. Now years later I understand that the shape of the eyeball is controlled by the muscles around it so I’ve been visualizing my eyeballs being perfectly round which relaxes all the muscles around them and I get instant clear vision when I do this. Also believing that I can heal. I feel like neuroplasticity and visualization exercises are super important and helpful, would be cool if you could talk more about it.
Wow, that's awesome! I love how you're exploring the power of your mind over your eyes, and how when you simply imagine your eyes becoming the correct shape, the muscles relax and allow for clearer focus! I agree with you about the importance of visualization... have you seen my video about how to visualize? ruclips.net/video/Z--1JL75GFc/видео.html

Your comment made me realise things that I had forgotten.
1 year update?
This is great.
Now 20/20.
Took 2 years.
Hi, I'm just starting my eyesight improvement journey, can you please tell me how you started out and what you did? My eyesight is both spherical and cylindrical and getting new glasses is always a hassle. Your journey and techniques will be great help, thanks!

Praise God i close my eyes everyday when praying :)
Praise God!
Thank you Nathan for this amazing video! One of the best one on the channel so far. It was really helpful. I was following your recommendations during the video and I got clear flashes almost 40% of the time. 10 minutes in I found myself yawning a lot, I was also shifting from side to side while seated and looking through the window.
Recently I discovered somewhat upgraded version of palming and imagining. Instead of just thinking of a still picture I imagine myself sitting in a small cafe by the sea. I can smell salty waves down the beach, freshly backed bread, flowers in a small vase on the table. I see the wind moving the petals, the table cover, leaves on the trees. In the distance a see a little boy riding the bike, a women arranging flowers on a flower stand, and a bit farther there are two boys kicking a ball. I hear the wind and other people talking, the sea. So it's all like a little film in my head with me as a part of it. I find it very relaxing and almost meditation like.
I also have a question for you. Is there a thing like semi-clear flashes? Sometimes I notices I get flashes of clearer vision, and sometimes my flashes are like there is a huge magnifying glass in front of me making it all as if I were wearing glasses - everything becomes crystal clear for a moment.
Hello! Thanks for sharing your experiences and questions. Great realization about visualizing moving images rather than still images, that is precisely what Dr. Bates suggested! He spoke about the Swing so much, and he wasn't just talking about the Long Swing, he was talking about imagining moving objects in your mind with your eyes closed like when you've been palming.
Yes, there are semi-clear flashes and bigger clear flashes, so be open to receiving all types of clarity as you keep going. Check out my video about Clear Flashes if you haven't seen it yet: ruclips.net/video/spiIo4pUAQw/видео.html
You're obviously on the right track since you're seeing improvements, so keep it up and keep me in the loop with your process!
Yes, generally when I got some insights, in another words when I "receive" images in my mind, they tend to be this way; different layers moving each one with different rythm. For example, clouds moving in the background while someone is passing by the center of the imagination. You can still imagine listen to a song in the background, while you are notice things around the scenario. In general when I get these kind of imagination I get in a good mood, maybe dopamine? Maybe the brain getting a new pathway? Neuroplasticity? Who knows?
There is a book about imagination, I forgot the name, it has a door in the cover. If I remember was a PhD wrote that book.
This is really really helpful, Nathan. I have been at it for a few years now but I felt I was slipping and perhaps forming poor habits, holding onto the blur instead of relaxing out of it. I have been reminded to find my OWN vision. Thank you for your work in bringing clarity to this myopic world!
Thanks for your feedback - glad to hear it helped push you out of a plateau, which can be a common occurrence on the natural vision improvement path!
Hahaha I was facing straining in my upper body and after just playing with blinking reverse like a 📷 I am totally relaxed, the extended exhale was the key!
Thank you so much! You are the number one Nathan! People on other vision improvement channel keep saying good things about you because you are really the one in this thing!
I have been using vision enhancement techniques for a long time. During the day, I have to work at the computer for quite a long time 6-13 hours a day. Without these natural practices, I simply would not have been able to work for so long. Thx for your videos!
Nice Oleg! Glad to hear it's been helping you with everyday activities like screen time. Keep it up!
I have been reading about Greek, Egyptian, Chinese Maxims and one of them in the Temple of Delphus said:
"Certainty brings insanity".
I think myopia is the ultimate expression of "certainty" or the result of pseudo-insanity or mild insanity.
In all the texts created by William Bates he emphasizes not imprisoning, not forcing, not trying, not taking for granted, not hijacking the eyes, not forcing mental reality over the reality of things.
William Bates, from what I read in his magazines, was a profound admirer of Greek philosophy, of calisthenics exercises where the Greeks used as little effort as possible just by manipulating the gravitational axis of the body.
Later, I learned that the scientific style of thinking (framework) taught in schools and also in TV news does not encompass the unconscious, it basically eliminates the body from the equation.
I read a lot, I filtered a lot of theory.
Bates used to recommend reading the Bible which part of it was also written by ancient Greeks.
The structure of many texts in the Bible, as well as the Qu'ran or the Torah are in Nested Loops, or Ring or Mirror Composition. In addition to seeing powerful built-in commands, many in positive and direct affirmations.
From what I read, I note that the natural state of the human mind is to just be, never to get too attached to things. And even the things that are important have no greater right to be more important than life.
The ancients called it "Enchantment", "Evil Spirit" or "Spell", later they gave a new term "being under the effect of a strong suggestion". Today common sense calls it "chronic stress".
Our biggest challenge is to overcome the mold in which we were placed since childhood, and we need to restructure our way of thinking and creating thoughts.
Love this comment.
OMG! This is great stuff! I used pinhole glasses for part of your video. Or closing my eyes. Awesome!
Yay, you're doing it!
This is the first of your videos I've watched. I really appreciate your approach to eyesight and eye care.
love seeing more people spread the good words about vision
Best video I've seen regarding eyesight improvement - really helpful. I tried for a year on my own, limiting my use of glasses. Clearly, I need more guidance. I am so looking forward to your videos and podcast!
I’m glad it resonated with you! 👁️
thanks Nathan - I am pleased to have found your channel - I have always thought that natural vision improvement was possible - but I now see that whilst my thinking was correct - I was causing more eye strain with exercises and not relaxing my eyes - leading to my currently very stressed eyes that tire very quickly and cause me great concern about future problems.... thanks again - I will work my way thru your various vids and will purchase your book for my daughter who wears glasses
Thank you so much. I have very high power and cannot function without glasses or contact lenses at all. While listening to you in this vdo, i took my glasses off for some time and did the exercises. What i realised was i can do some basic tasks, that do not require visual acquity, without glasses. Looking forward to more vdos to improve my eyesight
That’s a wonderful place to start!
This exercise was a great way to sit outside and get some sun time while deepening my eyes healing journey. This video did bring me back in time to when I first got my glasses as a child, loved the insights. I had lots of clear flashes during this practice, and love learning that term - when I was a kid, one time, I could see for hours just for one day..! I never understood that and felt like I was trippin'. Also during this video I learned a lot more and the depth perception stuff is noticeably true, I could feel the surroundings of the many trees around me better. Great insights and fostering understanding of the roots of eyesight issues and the nuances of the underacknowledged roles and purposes of our eyes.
From Bates white wall technique:
I "developed" a simple technique. Put the tip of your nose against the wall. Place your hands laterally 15~20 cm from your eyes.
Now stare at the wall, at the center of it. There is nothing to see there, no worry about straining or staring.
Start moving your body slowly like rocking drills, generally is the pelvis that make the rock drills but you can feel your torso doing it too.. side to side constantly.
Breathe and blink as much as you like.
Try to focus on the center of the wall and if possible you need to notice (not directly see) your hands at your side.
If you do it correctly, it's expected that your shadow against the wall and also the wall will have a weird effect of moving, if you help this illusion by moving slightly your nose/head and your hands it will gets stronger. I felt a feeling of nostalgia, like I was meeting a time when I was living a happy life when I notice this illusion effect.
If you stop, close your eyes and look around you will see that the wall will get ULTRA sharpen and that rest of the enviroment starts to get sharpen as well. But just for a few seconds.
You can increase the intensity of your body movement, but do it at your own pace.
This unlocks peripheral motion, you'll be able to see things actually move around you as you walk or as you keeping the rocking stand still.
I hope it helps you.
You might be on to something, thank you.
Did try this method but keeping your nose at the wall is kinda hard😅When I opened my eyes suddenly the end of the hallway(ONLY THE END)became crystal clear and I got an immedate sting
@@jazmineszlari414 I'm testing other approaches, for example tinted glasses, red light bulb to increase blood circulation.
I tested bluish tinted glasses for minutes, after removing them I felt the reality super yellowish (uuh), which generated a feeling of tiredness in me as if I were in the desert.
When I tested yellowish glasses, after removing them I felt the world bluer, lighter, calmer, more relaxing and I could see a little better.
I wonder if the technology; TV/video games in the 90s/2000s, computers, notebooks, cell phones, I wonder if these devices emit lights that train our brain to filter out certain light spectrums.
I also did tests with fluorescent and LED lights, I made a recording in super slow motion and the light blinked incessantly, as if it had flicker stressing the eyes, as if these lights imitated the blinking of the eyes artificially.
When I used old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs, the super slow motion didn't register any flicker, although those old-fashioned lights don't illuminate much, so many and many more of them are needed to illuminate the environment for us to be able to see some detail.
If you take a piece of yellow cellophane and put it in front of any sunglasses and wear it for 2 minutes, when you take them off you can see a little better with the naked eye.
Another observation, it feels like calf/calves on legs have a looot of to do with blood circulation and upper body discomfort, exercise or massage calves and it will help you more than you believe.
I've been postponing my deep desire to understand why my vision is the way that it is, even tho' I know that it has everything to do with my internal vision, and now that i've watched this video I feel so energized and motivated to go forward and dive deep into myself using this self healing method, and for that I want to thank you my friend. Also I've written this without glasses and it was challenging but I managed to do it while being relaxed hahaha
Wow thank you for sharing! I am honored that you were able to open up like that and that you were able to use your computer without glasses 👁️
Thanks for this very helpful video. Over the last few months I've had a lot of improvement, with lots of clear flashes. Lately my vision took a nose dive for the worse, my eyes always tired and sore and nothing was helping. By the end of this video my eyes had relaxed quite a bit. I had a bunch of clear flashes, and I realized what I'd been doing that had stressed my eyes out again. Lately I've become kind of obsessed with centralization, and actually being able to see small detail at a farther distance where i couldn't before, entirely forgetting about the periphery. For some reason just being reminded to be aware of the periphery made my central vision relax again, and looking for shape and color, and most important closing my eyes.
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing your experience! It’s easy to accidentally start trying too hard and then you forget to relax. Great correction!
I think this is my favorite video. Thanks
Aw thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my fireside chat :)
Great point about a correlation between vision and the emotional component!
It can be quite a strong correlation for some people!
Very encouraged. Ive bought h ebook and working at it
🤓👍
Amazing video with good knowledge, I am determined to improve my eyesight completely
You got this :)
Thank you for this video, it was a beautiful summary. I have been on my vision improvement for over a year now, and have improved a lot, but recently hit a plateau. The dealing with what causes the vision loss is I think the biggest challenge, and you are right in saying it is the most important. I am inspired to continue and look within to change my vision and my life, and I really appreciate you being here
Thanks Nathan, I think it was very important (to me) an exemplified explanation on how to implement the Bates practice because I always thought that the way you explained how to get your sight back very complicated, too complicated to the point that I kind of quit trying which was causing even anxiety that I was still wearing my glasses and my sight wasn't any better. Besides, we are, or at least I am too busy with many things that I didn't have time for all of that!
Thank you Nathan for this wonderful video and your service to people in vision health. You also made me aware of the root cause of blurriness that occurred after an emotional upsetting experience.
It was a wholesome & holistic wisdom. Being in my twenties and having -6 in both my eyes, it really breaks me on how much i am missing …it really hits me but on a deeper level I also doubt how can i help myself with such a high myopic vision.
You can do it! I was -4 myopia and -2 astigmatism when I started, so potential improvements are possible!
Thank you so much for the comment.
I need to ask that as I take out glasses it a habit to look for clarity and if not found i get stressed out and have no idea how to relax and breathe. So how could i take that first step of being comfortable, not getting stressed and how to breathe deep and relaxed as I truly believe that if all that is in sync i can improve. It would be great to hear your view.
Nathan you're really kind and introspective 🌸✨THANK YOU for sharing every thing and you're experience
i learned a couple new things today. i didn't know about the reverse blinking before, or the shapes/colors thign. i like it. that did some cool thigns
Sweet, glad I could introduce you to a few novel concepts!
@@NathanOxenfeld it is always neat to learn things. i like tha tyou really take the time to really explain things and show it . i can tell you this as well, even though ia m not a master of these things , and maybe don't even do them as much as i can. evendoing some of the bates things and trying some various wasys. at tiems i may have somethign where an eye, or sometimes both suddenly seem to get more out of focus, weather it is blurry, or just whtaever. and every time, for a few days if i focus on doing this stuff, the vision always becomes clearer.
i can't say for sure weather or not i read the full book in its original form, i had found a pdf 3-4 years ago online that had something like 35+/- chapters. i assume that is the full book.
but anyway. this guy was way way aheaf of his time. and i defintely noticed how so many times he made it clear that the key is to remove your eyes from straing (which you defintely point out many times) and correctly not use the term "excercise" when i have seen thing online they do, lin thos little cute short videos, they just show you some stuff, but they make it seem like work. and i think many people likely take those vidoes the wrong way and likely do some good but also staring making it ineffective at tiems. which is probably why so many people don't believe in it.
i swear to god if i could get a time machine and go back a little over 100 years and go meet him. and do a few appointments with that dr. bates guy i would be so fascinated. the dude was probably the most brilliant ophtimoloigst ever and so many try to dismiss him. yet he helped what. 10,000 or more people over the years with natural stuff far more than all the things they try to tel you you need. i am glad there are people such as yourself that put in a lot of time and effort in making this easy to know and fun :)
@@NathanOxenfeld you are welcome. althoug shortly after i wrote this i drove 10 hours to see a friend ,stayed with them. they don't do things quite as healthy as i do but it was my friend's 50th birthday so i wasn't really able to do a whole lot of my normal stuff just got home lat, but i am gettnig right backon this tomorrow. i mean hey. every so often there are those things that throw you off, but as long as we make it a daily habit other than these few times. it is all good
This is the best video you've done imo! Love it!
Great video, and I really loved your mood in this video. We need more video with a good vibe with humor. Higher mind and Spirituality don't need to be serious ou boring. Let's make thing more cocky sometimes and ironical. I bet neuroplasticity occurs more often with self estimm and jokes, puns and things like that.
10:12 Nathan, about the breath holding, I read this book “The Oxygen Advantage” and he talks about the role co2 plays in our utilization of oxygen. Actually hyperventilating deprives our brain of oxygen. He talks about getting the breath down to 6 breaths a minute, he also talks about how to properly breath hold which has cascade effects for relaxation. I think you NEED to look into the benefits of his work PLEASE because when people would tell me to take a deep breath I was taking a hard breath, and a faster breath and that over breathing I believe contributed to my myopia! With the slow deep light breathing he teaches people to do I am noticing more clear flashes! I been thinking about how do I get in touch with you to share these discoveries, I think it will be helpful to the whole integral eyesight community!
Thanks for sharing! To clarify, the type of breath holding I’m referring to in this video is “unconscious” or “unintentional” breath holding, which is different than what you described… an intentional refining and/or retention of the breath, which I’m all for! Glad it’s helping you too :)
@@NathanOxenfeld okay gotcha it is different -like one is straining and the other is natural and relaxed like how a baby breathes. Your work has been helping so much
Really liked this video! Very thorough.
Thank you, first video I found on this topic. I will be applying this method forward as much as I can. I hope to heal my eyes. Even improving them to the point where the per rip took number doesn’t increase or eyes feeling dry stinging or tired from screen usage is enough benefit. But I will push off reversing my prescription. Let’s see if I can push them from -2 to -1.
I did notice from this video alone. I remembered what my peripheral vision was like before getting glasses. My reaction to poor vision was from too much gameboy as a kid. I woke up one day and vision was blurry.
Hi nathan. Could you make a video with your prescription before and after with optometrist confirmation? That would add a lot of validity to your channel from the perspective of newer students and I can guarantee it would help you spread your message. Thanks!
In the meantime - integraleyesight.com/myjourney/
Thanks Nathan this was very helpful.
Splendid!
Hi Nathan, I love the Bates method and your videos, but I have one question, what would you recommend for babies/toddlers who need glasses. How would they practice the Bates method?
Thank you so much ❤
You are very welcome, thanks for watching!
Nathan, Bates’ method works cuz I just got flashes of clarity several times, thank you for sharing!
I am now focusing on centralization, and I wonder, how do I use centralization on a huge piece of white wall? I can’t find points to focus my vision to…
Wow, that's awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience. In regards to your question about a blank white wall (or another blank surface like a white cloud for example), that's when you could implement Dr. Bates' "swinging black period"... you imagine a little tiny black dot moving around on the surface of the white wall or the white cloud... that little black dot represents your small central fixation point.
@@NathanOxenfeld Thanks, I will try it soon👍
By the way, how do I apply centralization while reading? I have a hard time on that.
Several flashes of clarity doesn't mean anything
Amazing video!
Bigger deeper issue is “how come I don’t do what’s good for me?” I want to, but I keep doing easy harmful things. And I loathe the consequences. 😂💯
That's your choice and responsibility. For a thing that brain 🧠 is used to do, it spends 0 calories, for some new thing it spends comparably a lot, so you don't do it because this power economy mechanism works in your brain. You need to overcome it just till a new activity becomes a habit for the brain, and you will do it without any effort then
@@C0D3O
true. what I’m saying is more of:
what stands between people & achievement is not the impossibility of the goal, but the will to do it.
Thank you Nathan, you are brilliant!! You explain things so clearly.
Can you tell us anything about cataracts and natural healing. God bless 🙏

you meant to reply in the main comment section, not under this particular viewer comment..😊

When I was a child of about 8 years old I got the measles. I remember that light hurt my eyes and my mother pulled the blinds down and kept the room very dark. I only remember being in bed for a long time. When I eventually went back to school I could no longer see the blackboard. Have you ever heard of this as a cause of myopia and astigmatism? Thanks for this intriguing information. I am so interested.
Sir i have right eye -8 and left eye -4. How to improve my vision.. Pls tell me... And my 5year old son having astigmatism in right eye 4 and left eye 0.5 how to reduce... Doctor says to wear the glass to my son... With out glass how can i improve my son eye sight pls tell me....
Thank you Nathan for this video. I was unaware how much strain I’m putting my eyes into. Will definitely follow your steps.
A request can you please make a video about double vision. I’m myopic with -3.5 both eyes with little astigmatism. When I started this vision improvement journey mid 2022 I stopped wearing full prescription glasses, only using -2.25 for daily working on screens apart from that I don’t wear glasses. Over the course of time staring at objects/ buildings, now I see multiple images with one or 2 clear overlapping blur images. I fear I messed up my eyes 😱What do you think about my condition?
That’s probably just the astigmatism, which can appear as multiple images. Keep working on reducing both myopia and astigmatism and that effect can subside.
Relax by removing eye glasses
Close your eyes whenever possible
Reverse blinking - just like taking a picture with eyes
Intentional Blinking
Deep Breathing
Be Patient
See in periphery
Swinging - See things moving
Central Fixation
Look Within
Thanks for the summary :)
Thanks for sharing this approach to eyesight healing. Just a quick question about your ebook, in which format is it?
Hi i wanted to know does stress in neck and shoulder,bad position contribute to astigmatism and myopia ?
What is the size of the fine print, the diamond type and the microscopic reduction of the fine print?
Diamond type is size 4.5 font and Microprint is size 2.5 font.
@Nathan Oxenfeld thank you Nathan. I find practicing with fine print a great technique. I started with size 4, now I practice with 2-2.5 as I couldn't print anything smaller. I was wondering whether it's not too big but I see it's just the right size. 🙂
I’m hoping these abates method techniques will also help with astigmatism. I feel like my myopia has improved slightly over a few days, but no noticeable different with the astigmatism. Great video anyways!
Try to massage your tempora, muscles around your ears, your nostrils, neck.
Sometimes you have a chronic facial muscle strain.
Some people say astigmatism comes with lenses, wrong PD, because one eye cant fit the lens axis the whole time and the body change it's natural position to see through thr lenses.
Other people say about playing musical instrument can cause astigmatism by a long period of time seeing in a non natural position.
And others say about wisdom teeth or other facial muscle changing.
Massage could help in a long run, regular massage. Or doing facial "exercises" with mouth, ears, forehead, eyebrows.

Hey Nathan, I was noting a weird pattern: happiness and eyesight.
Anger and eyesight.
Sadness and eyesight.
Feeling lost and eyesight.
We know the feeling powerful is different than feeling hopeless.
But we feel in our bodies.
There are groups of muscles working when we are happy and when we are not happy.
For example, a person with anger will switch group of muscles in order to narrow it's vision.
Some people developed a chronic condition around tempora and ear muscles, caused by (wisdom) teeth, jaw, too much cold exposure, anger, wearing masks due to pandemic moment.
Some people have weaker muscles or tighten muscles around those areas.
Why am I saying this?
Because my left eye was very weak due to weaken muscles around my left ear.
I don't know if it is something related to wisdom teeth, bad dentist practice and lots of anesthesia or just "genetics".. I know when these muscles are inbalanced the ear gets in different shape, I remember that I could hear even more but at the same time I was feeling very exhausted because of the external sounds, too loud, making me going crazy at the time.
And my vision was very narrow, it felt like one eye was trying to hide inside the other eye. I remember my face always pointing to one specific side without I am wanting it.
Now after learning to wiggle/moving my ears and making them more in the "correct" position most of the time, I even feel my upper body really relaxed, shoulders calm, arms relaxed and even my legs I feel then super soft, it's easier to walk now, my fingers seem smaller (maybe the skin tissue?) my posture? I feel like a billionaire.
It's the same group of muscles when we smile, when we are happier. It pulls us back, my neck broader than before.
I can see more field of view, I am receiving more light in my left eye, I am feeling more alive.
I really now believe that eyesight can improve, that vision problems use to be a bypdroduct from other condition, never the root itself.
do you think looking at distance improving vision ? or using active focus ? kindly i want an exercise helping cure astigmatism ?
Nathan pls answer this. I have blue field entopic i see moving does all time when I see Bright area. Can palming help this go away?
Hey, yes I imagine some of the physical and mental relaxation practices could potentially help. Similar to eye floaters, those little moving lights have a mental component, meaning that the more you pay attention to them, the more you see them. Whereas if you "ignore" them or focus more on what you're actually looking at, you may not perceive them as much.
Is it possible to have a lot of clear flashes on sunny days and sometimes even at a night and at the same time your vision is going to get worse?
Not sure if I completely understand your question, but the light level and time of day can certainly influence the quality of your eyesight. Most of my vision students report more clear flashes when outside on bright sunny days... but as they keep practicing, they start to notice more improvements indoors in dim light, or even at night.
@@NathanOxenfeld thanks for your reply. I have been practicing Bates method for about half year and I noticed, that I have more and more clear flashes (as you wrote especially in sunny days and in the afternoon), better eyesight when looking far away (than before practicing),I feel more relaxed, I see more in "3D" (no everything the same clarity in different distances), I see that world is moving around me when I'm walking and moving(I'm not sure how to write this but I'm sure than you know what i mean :)), but at the same time I noticed that at the shortest distance where I see world clearly is going to be shorten everytime. For example before practicing Bates Method a could see my computer screen clear, but now I have to move 5-10 cm closer to the screen, regardless of this fact I have more clear flashes, I feel better without glasses, I see better when I'm looking far away. I don't know if I'm doing wrong or is it normal that my "clear world" is starting to be closer and closer to me. If it's still not clear what I mean please answer, I will try to explain it in some other way :)
I’ve been feeling the same way
@@a-profitbeats2251 ooo, nice. Do you know what can cause that?
Any tip for someone with really bad eyesight? 2600/20. Don’t know where to start
Yeah, lots of palming, swinging, and sunning to start waking up your eyes and relaxing them lots. Maybe get a hold of some undercorrected training glasses to start weaning down the strength of your glasses. Listen to some episodes of the Better Eyesight Podcast for some inspiration - bettereyesightpodcast.com
Thank you for this encouragement but I would like to add that the Spiritual is primarily and ultimately the most important factor.
God is spirit
We can ask the Lord to open our eyes that we might see 🙏🏾
All things are possible with the Lord. All things are possible to the one who believes.
Hi sir how can i join your eyesight improving programme on zoom?
Please tell me
How about astigmatism
What can be done to help squint
Hi Nathan! About the blinking, I find that when I take off my glasses and don’t blink that is when I get little seconds of clear vision. It confuses me because by what your saying blinking relaxes the eyes but when I don’t I sometimes get clear vision. Pls let me know what you think! Thanks
Hey Sarah, thanks for the question. That's okay to allow the clarity to happen that way, it'll just be about learning how to blink through the experience and maintain the clarity more continuously. It just takes practice, so keep experimenting with it!
I play soccer and basketball.. should i start doing these things without prescribed vision for improved vision?
Maybe just try practicing without glasses at home first, before actually trying it with your team.
@@NathanOxenfeld yeah i don’t want to hinder my team with my bad vision.. with contacts tho I’m able to play competitively
How to fix swaying I have astigmatism 0.50 only
Hi new to your channel. I’m -7 in both of my eyes. Do I have any hope of reversing all that? Glasses off is quite difficult since there is so much blur. Thanks
I think it's smarter to wean off glasses than to stop wearing them altogether. So keep wearing them when you need them for distant activities, and maybe consider trying some training glasses somewhere in the -6s. That, plus taking breaks from the glasses and using your eyes where they can already see without glasses (up close) can begin to adapt your visual system in a new direction.
@@NathanOxenfeld Thank you Nathan for you reply. I will try my best.
Does this method work for presbyopia? I find that I need glasses for nearly everything that requires me to read - aka most of my day! and I am determined to find another way! Many thanks, Judith
Yes, nearsightedness and farsightedness. Actually, Dr. Bates was presbyopic himself, and reversed his own presbyopia. Listen to Episode 20 of The Naked Eye Podcast for the full story!
how to prevent eye wrinkles
Sometimes straining can contribute to wrinkles around the eyes, so I would avoid squinting and try learning some of the relaxing vision habits from the Bates Method.
Can you help with astigmatism?? God bless

Central Fixation: So for 100+ years they (big pharma) called him a liar and eventually created lensed (MiyoSmart/Stellest/Mi Sight) that works on the same principal.
Yep, Dr. Bates was ahead of his time!
Why don’t you just tell us the truth to curing vision?
This is that truth fool
Who am 👁?
Good question
This old scam never dies out, it seems.
Yoga is not good for spiritual life.
Why not?
I agree. But you can practice Bates without yoga as I do. Bates was a genius.
@@Ma_gda Bates was a scammer.
@Jon Hohensee no, he wasn't. His method works, but it requires changing the way we use our eyes and it's not so easy. His advices were short and not enough detailed to me. Thank God for all those experienced bates method teachers who give practical advices how to do it for free.
@@Ma_gda Prove it!
