"Clear, seeing is the product of accurate sensing
and correct, perceiving. Any improvement in
the power of perceiving tends to be accompanied
an improvement in the power of sensing and
of that product of sensing and perceiving which is seeing"
VISION can be improved; the secret is relaxation of the mind and eye. This simple truth is the basis of the system through which Dr. William H. Bates and those who have taught his methods, have been so successful in helping men, women and children to better sight.
The need for better natural vision has been strongly felt during recent years. The Second World War made vital demands on the eyes of the men in the service as well as on the civilian population with its stepped-up programme in defence work. Further, the tendency in our educational system toward visual education requires good eyesight for students.
Efficient seeing in our modem, super-civilised world is a skill and must be
developed just like any other skill. Dr. Bates demonstrated that this skill
can be developed and as a result miracles have been worked in rebuilding vision.
In the world-wide group of persons who have been helped through the Bates method
are included members of all occupational groups, schoolchildren, men in the
armed forces and war veterans.
