WELL-BEING
BETTER EYESIGHT NATURALLY
According to Greg Marsh, a natural vision coach, clear
vision is attainable at any age – even if you’re already wearing
strong corrective lenses.
The method he teaches is called “Bates Method” and it was
developed over 100 years ago. It is said to be so effective that
optometrists lobbied politicians to ban it!
Bates Method is based on the premise that when you strain
your eyes – such as when you squint, your eyeballs contort
and make your vision blurry, altering where the vision ‘lands’
on your retina.
The theory is based on your vision not being compromised
because of weak eye muscles, as they are strong enough, but
because they are constantly “tensed” in order to work properly.
Unfortunately when you wear glasses, you’re actually retraining
your eyes to strain in order to see all day. The first advice is
to remove your glasses whenever you are able to safely do so,
to assist your eyes in using their own strength.

How does it work?
1. While standing, sway your body back and forth, which
has a natural soothing effect on your brain, and can alone
help you relax, which your eyes will immediately respond to.
2. Palming: Place the centre of your palms gently over your
eyes (you may want to lean slightly on the back of a chair to
keep your balance safely).
3. Relax while swaying and palming for 2 to 3 minutes.
Focus on relaxing your eyes and “sending love” to your eyes
through your palms. Try imagining your eyeballs as relaxing
and resuming their natural round shape.
4. After about 2 to 3 minutes, remove your hands and open
your eyes. Notice whether anything looks clearer – usually
it will!
