STRONG EYEGLASSES = VISION IMPAIRMENT VERSES REDUCED, WEAKER LENSES = VISION IMPROVEMENT

What Glasses Do to Us by Ophthalmologist Wiliam H. Bates

CLICK THE LINK ABOVE TO READ DR. BATES ARTICLE ON VISION IMPAIRMENT CAUSED BY EYEGLASSES.

EYEGLASSES, CONTACT LENSES CHANGE THE FOCUS OF LIGHT RAYS ENTERING THE ABNORMALLY SHAPED EYE TO BRING THE FOCUS OF LIGHT RAYS ONTO THE RETINA RESULTING IN CLEARER BUT NOT PERFECT VISION THROUGH THE EYEGLASS LENSES.

EYEGLASSES, CONTACTS DO NOT IMPROVE THE SHAPE, FUNCTION AND HEALTH OF THE EYE.

EYEGLASSES, CONTACT LENSES CAUSE AND INCREASE EYE MUSCLE TENSION, DYSFUNCTION, IMPAIRMENT OF THE SHAPE, FUNCTION AND HEALTH OF THE EYES AND CLARITY OF VISION.

IF EYEGLASSES ARE NECESSARY FOR DRIVING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES WHILE NATURAL EYESIGHT IMPROVEMENT IS APPLIED, REDUCED WEAKER 20/40 LENSES CAN BE USED.
WEAKER LENSES CAUSE LESS EYE MUSCLE TENSION AND ENABLE THE EYE TO BEGIN RETURNING TO NORMAL SHAPE.
NO EYEGLASSES ARE BEST.

If the student cannot find a Optometrist that will prescribe reduced lenses, then try searching for a Behavioral Optometrist.

Behavioral Optometrists teach Behavioral Optometry, a method close to the Bates Method.

Behavioral Optometrists are familiar with the Bates method and often teach it, will monitor the eyes, vision as the method is applied and prescribe reduced, weaker eyeglass lenses if needed.

The three websites listed below are optical companies that sell low cost, reduced eyeglass lenses without UV blocking, tinting, coating;

http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/home.php?cat=20 - Fill in your prescription at Zenni-Optical - Reduced lenses by mail.

http://www.eyeglasslensdirect.com/ (customer service at eyeglasslensdirect states they have full spectrum transmitting lenses, no UV blocking, no tinting, coating. Ask for CR39 plastic lenses. Phone; 1-888-885-5367).

http://www.selectspecs.com/ - Customer service at selectspecs says they have plain eyeglass lenses; just de-select UV blocking, tinting and other unwanted additions on the prescription page and, you can also tell them in the 'Additional info' box to omit UV blocking, tinting, coating and other additions.

Specify you want plain lenses. Phone; 1-845 704-7091

When contacting any of these businesses; make sure that the optician understands that you want plain, clear lenses with special glass/plastic that allows full spectrum sunlight to pass through the lenses.

If these are not available, then lenses that are plain with no UV blocking, no tinting, coating... is the next best thing to purchase.

Here is a website that lists where to find Behavioral Optometrists that will prescribe reduced lenses and vision improvement training: - Cambridge Institute for Better Vision, Martin Sussman. http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=3632614"><IMG

Buy/wear plain, clear reduced lenses only!
Avoid eyeglasses containing UV light blocking, filters, tinted, dark, transitions lenses, colored lenses, sunglasses, bifocals, mono-vision...
Most of these optical business web sites state that these (harmful) additions are placed in all their eyeglass lenses.
The buyer must be sure the eyeglasses do not contain these additions.

The author of this web site is trying to find a optical business that prescribes low cost, reduced eyeglasses that are plain clear glass lenses, full spectrum transmitting; the lenses allow all waves of the suns light spectrum, full spectrum, including UV light to transmit/pass through the eyeglass lenses and reach the eyes.

There are businesses that sell window glass, plastic that is full spectrum transmitting, but the only true, natural full spectrum sunlight is direct sunlight not passing through glass, plastic, any substance.
The eyes need all wave lengths of the suns light spectrum, healthy full spectrum sunlight.
UV blocking lenses, tinted, colored lenses, sunglasses and even plain, clear lenses cause unhealthy, unbalanced light to enter the eyes, brain, body resulting in eye, brain, body health impairment, depression, lowered memory, imagination, unclear vision and other eye problems.

Full spectrum transmitting lenses are better but not perfect; they are not completely natural, do not provide pure, complete full spectrum sunlight.

Wear a hat with a brim to avoid overexposure to sunlight.
Avoid all eyeglasses.
Wear only reduced, plain, clear lenses and only when needed for safety while vision is improving.

I do not recommend pinhole glasses, especially pinhole glasses that contain very small holes and look like full dark lenses.
They block out full spectrum sunlight and lower the clarity of vision/health of the eyes.
Even plain pinholes containing visible holes reduce healthy sunlight and block normal eye, brain, visual system function, perfect use of correct vision habits and can cause headaches but they are better than pinholes which do not have visible holes and appear to be sunglasses.
Use pinhole glasses that contain larger holes in the eyepieces.
Pinholes are used only in emergencies, for a few seconds to read a medicine bottle, a distant sign...to prevent squinting until vision improves.
The more eyeglasses, pinholes are avoided, the faster and easier vision improves.
Pinhole glasses do not help the eyes focus, do not improve function of the eye muscles.
They impair eye muscle function.
Pinholes reduce some of the light rays entering the eye, and this reduces some of the blur.
Pinholes prevent the eye muscles, eyes from focusing, prevent normal, complete accommodation, convergence, un-accommodation, divergence, shifting/eye movement, central fixation and other correct vision habits, prevents the eye muscles (ciliary, iris/pupil, recti, oblique) from functioning normally.
Objects seen through pinholes appear smaller, incorrect size.
Depth, dimension, binocular vision is impaired.
This impairs memory, imagination, function of the brain with the eyes.
All eyeglasses including pinholes disrupt normal blinking.

WARNING; RECENTLY IN THE YEAR 2007 TO 2008 BUSINESSES THAT SELL EYEGLASSES ARE TRYING TO PROMOTE THE USE OF STRONG PLUS CONVEX LENSES (CLOSE VISION EYEGLASS LENSES) TO BE WORN TO IMPROVE CLARITY OF DISTANT VISION.
THEY STATE THAT THIS METHOD FORCES THE EYE MUSCLES TO STRETCH AND STRENGTHEN TO IMPROVE FOCUS FOR DISTANT VISION.
STRONGER AND STRONGER LENSES ARE USED.
THIS IS NOT NATURAL, IT CAUSES INCREASED STRAIN, TENSION, CONFUSION, DYSFUNCTION OF THE OUTER AND INNER EYE MUSCLES, NERVES, BRAIN, BODY, ENTIRE VISUAL SYSTEM, IMPAIRS ACTIVATION, INTEGRATION, FUNCTION OF THE LEFT AND RIGHT BRAIN HEMISPHERES, OPTIC CHASM, VISUAL CORTEX, RETINA, ARE ADDICTIVE AND RESULT IN INCREASED BLUR, CLOSE AND DISTANT VISION IMPAIRMENT, HEADACHES, DIZZINESS AND OTHER EYE PROBLEMS.
THESE BUSINESSES ARE SNEAKING ONTO BATES METHOD DISCUSSION GROUPS, FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND PROMOTING THIS HARMFUL METHOD.
AVOID THIS METHOD!

THEY ARE TRYING TO SELL TO ADULTS AND ESPECIALLY CHILDREN.

THESE LENSES WILL IMPAIR GROWTH, FUNCTION OF THE CHILD'S EYES, BRAIN, LEARNING, MEMORY, CONCENTRATION... AND CAUSE MORE VISION PROBLEMS.
NEVER WEAR STRONG EYEGLASS LENSES.
DO NOT WEAR CLOSE VISION LENSES FOR DISTANT VISION.
DO NOT WEAR DISTANT VISION LENSES FOR CLOSE DISTANCES. (SEE MEDICAL ARTICLE BELOW.)

WHEN A PERSON WEARS REDUCED, WEAKER EYEGLASS LENSES FOR CLOSE AND DISTANT VISION, SOMETIMES, AS THE VISION IMPROVES DUE TO USE OF THE BATES METHOD, LENSES FOR A SPECIFIC DISTANCE WILL BECOME TOO STRONG AND NEED TO BE REDUCED AGAIN.
IN THIS CASE THE LENSES FOR THAT DISTANCE MAY NOW BE THE CORRECT REDUCED STRENGTH FOR THE OTHER DISTANCE.
A BATES TEACHER CAN DESCRIBE THIS BETTER.
THIS IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT METHOD THAN THE HARMFUL USE OF STRONG PLUS LENSES FOR DISTANT VISION.
I PREFER THE BATES STUDENT THAT NEEDS TO USE REDUCED LENSES TO USE REDUCED DISTANT LENSES FOR DISTANT VISION AND
REDUCED CLOSE LENSES FOR CLOSE VISION AND TO ELIMINATE USE OF EYEGLASSES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE BATES METHOD RELAXES THE EYE MUSCLES, RETURNS THE MUSCLES TO CORRECT FUNCTION FOR CLEAR VISION AT ALL DISTANCES CLOSE AND FAR WITHOUT EYEGLASSES.
THERE ARE MANY NEW UNNATURAL METHODS BEING SOLD BY THE OPTICAL INDUSTRY, SURGEONS, PEOPLE SELLING BOOKS AND OTHER DEVICES THAT PROMISE VISION IMPROVEMENT BUT RESULT IN EYE, VISION DAMAGE.
STAY WITH THE BATES METHOD.
THE BATES METHOD IS SAFE, HEALTHY, THE NORMAL, NATURAL FUNCTION OF THE EYES.

A negative, minus eyeglass lens for distant vision causes increased eye muscle tension and abnormal lengthening of the eye = increased distant and close vision impairment and other vision problems; detached retina, macula degeneration, cataracts ...
A positive, plus eyeglass lens for close vision causes increased eye muscle tension and abnormal shortening of the eye - increased close and distant vision impairment, detached retina, macula degeneration, cataracts ... and other eye problems. Avoid all forms of eyeglass lenses. Use the Bates Method.
