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

^ Click the Links Above to Read Dr. Bates Article on Vision Impairment Caused By Eyeglasses. Unnatural Methods to Avoid.

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.

NO EYEGLASSES IS BEST, MOST HEALTHY FOR THE EYES-VISION. I prefer people to NOT wear eyeglasses, any type of prescription. It's especially harmful, can lead to cataract, detached retina, glaucoma... when the prescription is strong. I understand that some people need glasses to drive, continue schoolwork, their job... If eyeglasses are necessary for safety, driving and other activities; reduced weaker and weaker 20/40 lenses can be used temporarily while Natural Eyesight Improvement is applied. Avoid wearing glasses as much as possible. Practice Natural Eyesight Improvement without glasses. Continue correct, relaxed vision habits when wearing glasses.
Discontinue use of eyeglasses as soon as possible. Weaker lenses cause less eye muscle tension than strong lenses and enable the eye to begin returning to normal shape, but; all glasses cause tension and slow improvement.
              People that COMPLETELY AVOID glasses improve quicker, easier.

Wearing weaker, reduced eyeglass lenses (only when necessary for driving, work...) temporarily as the vision is improving with application of Natural Eyesight Improvement
allows the eyes, eye muscles, visual system to relax, reverse and remove tension, strain, blur. See the diagram below and further instructions, larger pictures on this page and;

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. A Bates Method Behavioral Optometrist is best.

                                                            The Eyeglass Stores, Opticians listed below sell low cost, reduced eyeglass lenses without UV blocking, tinting, coating;

https://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).
P.D. ; https://www.eyeglasslensdirect.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=248   There are a few different ways to measure P.D. Testing with 3... ways, getting the same result helps to ensure a correct P.D.   P.D. is DIFFERENT for close and far vision glasses due to the eyes converging, diverging.

https://www.selectspecs.com/Glasses/Prescription/ - 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 P. D. ; https://www.selectspecs.com/info/pupillary-distance/

https://www.zennioptical.com - Fill in your prescription at Zenni-Optical - Reduced lenses by mail.
Remember to fill in your P.D. (PUPILLARY DISTANCE) ; https://static.zennioptical.com/media/Zenni-Optical-PD-Ruler.pdf   A student recently told me that Zenni now makes all glasses with uv light coating-blocking. This is unhealthy. The eyes need UV, full spectrum light! The student may have been in contact with a customer service person that misunderstood. To be safe; I now prefer eyeglasslensdirect and SelectSpecs on the top of this list. Last time I spoke to them they stated they do sell plain eyeglasses, no uv, no tinting...

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.

There are Behavioral Optometrists that will prescribe reduced lenses and vision improvement training: (Remember to AVOID the Plus Lens Method, Artificial 3-D, use of contact lenses. I prefer referrals from a true Bates teacher that provides only safe healthy methods; https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id103.html

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 website 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.

Steps to order a reduced, weaker 20/40 minus eyeglass prescription for myopia, ‘unclear far eyesight’;

https://www.selectspecs.com  Click the glasses tab on top.

You are here; https://www.selectspecs.com/Glasses/Prescription   Click budget.
I clicked the $10.00 option. Click customize and buy.

Now you are here; https://www.selectspecs.com/prescription/select_use Click Single Vision and Distance.

Now you are here; https://www.selectspecs.com/prescription/prescriptions Fill your prescription and PD... as I did in this picture, but set your OWN numbers;

This is just an example. This student is going down from -3.50 which is now much too strong because his eyesight improved. Your prescription will be specific for your level of clarity.

For PD; If the doctor has given a different PD for each eye; select I have a dual PD. Then fill in the right and left eye’s PD. Right is filled first even though they have the box on the left side; that box is for the right PD. I labeled this in the picture to avoid confusion.

Now click; Next Step, Choose Your Lenses;

Now you are here; https://www.selectspecs.com/prescription/lenses/ Click select and continue.

Now you are here; https://www.selectspecs.com/prescription/tint/ Select; No thanks, clear lenses only.
    (Remember; on this page and all pages; DO NOT choose tinting, transitions, UV.) You want the glass to be as close to plain window glass as possible to get as much natural light as possible.
Some opticians sell full spectrum light transmitting lenses. That’s good, it means the lens allows the full spectrum of light to enter though the eyeglass. It’s still not perfect as when no glasses are worn but it’s the next best thing.

Now you are here; https://www.selectspecs.com/prescription/confirm/ REMOVE THE CHECKS on;

UV Coating     Anti-Reflection     Scratch Resistance     See picture below;

A couple students recently told me that some optician stores are placing mandatory UV blocking inside the eyeglass lens.
They state the UV coating option is different; meaning that if you un-check it, opt for NO UV; you will still get UV blocking in the lens.
Call, email customer service to be sure the glasses have absolutely NO UV. Shop around.

Click add to basket and buy;

I do not wear glasses so it's best to also talk to the customer service person and your eye doctor. Each person’s starting point, level of improvement, eyeglass strength reduction (to see the 20/40 line on the eyechart clear) is specific to their condition. You must do some math to figure a perfect 20/40 reduction. Working with an eye doctor is best but many will not teach The Bates Method and will not help you reduce the prescription. In this case you might need to try about 2 different reductions to get it right. Standing at 20 feet; eyechart lines below the 20/40 line when wearing the glasses must be less clear. When they start to be seen clear through the eyeglasses ‘before the 20 line is clear’; it’s time for another prescription reduction.
      Some people immediately, permanently stop use of glasses no matter how burry their eyesight is. Others wear glasses temporarily only for driving, work... and need to learn how to buy, use reduced weaker prescriptions. When the sight is 20/40 - 20/50 without glasses you can stop use of glasses. (Except for driving, safety until the sight is clear to drive, work… safe and legal without glasses.) Eyesight improves faster, easier when glasses are avoided.
        For close-reading eyesight; the plus lens prescription is reduced, made weaker and weaker.

I do not allow people I am training to use contact lenses. They cause cornea, eye injury. Contact lenses are never a perfect fit for the cornea because the eye, cornea naturally change shape, often. This occurs more frequently as the eyes, cornea return to normal healthy shape with practice of Natural Eyesight Improvement. The contacts will not fit; they can easily scrape, injure, infect and scar the cornea. Contact lens cleaning solutions, eye drops get contaminated with bacteria, parasites. People have gone blind, lost their entire eye. Some teachers allow use of contact lenses, strong eyeglasses and other destructive methods because they want endorsement from eye doctors to help sell their training and books.

True Bates Method teachers, schools teach that only reduced weaker and weaker eyeglass lenses, usually 20/40 clarity (no contacts) are used and only temporarily, only if needed for driving, safety at work... as the vision is improving with practice of the Bates Method. Example; a person with -3.00 eyeglasses for myopia might try reducing to -2.50 or -2.00.
The eyechart will show 20/40 clarity with glasses on. Avoid glasses as much as possible. Keep practicing the Bates Method. Then continue to reduce until seeing clear without glasses. A person with +3.00 eyeglasses for presbyopia, farsight might reduce to +2.50 or +2.00 and continue to reduce. If the eyeglasses have uneven lens strength for the left, right eyes; try to get the strength even. See directions on the eyeglasses page; https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id36.html and here;


If the eyeglasses have uneven prescription strength in the left and right eyeglass lenses;

It’s best to change the lenses to equal strength; Don’t use the stronger lens from the less clear vision eye’s eyeglass lens because it will impair-lower the vision in the best-clearest vision eye. Use the weakest eyeglass lens from the best clearest vision eye and place it in both left and right eyeglass lens’ frame. Then; reduce (weaken) both the left and right lenses strength equally. Ask your eye doctor for the number; maybe reduce 0.50 or 1.00 diopter. + or - depending on the prescription. Some people reduce more; 2.00. The clearest vision eye will see 20/40 clarity through its reduced eyeglass lens. (20 feet, #40 eyechart line.) The less clear vision eye will have the same strength eyeglass lens but it must catch up (improve its vision) to see 20/40 through its lens, see equally clear as the clearest vision eye. Note that the clearest vision eye will also be improving; so do some extra Bates Method practice with the less clear eye (without glasses). The goal is to get the clarity of vision improved and equal in the left and right eyes when not wearing glasses. When glasses are worn; the left and right eyeglass lenses are equal strength and the eyes see at an equal level through the reduced eyeglass lenses.
   If the lenses are too weak or too strong; vision through the eyeglasses will be too blurry and cause strain, effort to see, headache. Find a balance where the glasses are weaker, not 20/20 clear but just right to see comfortable with no strain.
     Uneven vision and uneven eyeglass lenses cause imbalance, tension in the visual system, brain, eyes, retinas, eye muscles and slows vision improvement. Correcting this and removing bifocal, multi-section, astigmatism, prism, UV blocking, tinting, coating... from the eyeglass lenses enables easy, faster vision improvement, helps to reverse addiction to glasses and is not as harmful to the eye’s health as glasses with multiple and strong prescriptions. No eyeglasses is the healthiest option. Glasses, level of clarity with and without glasses must be legal, safe for driving, work...
     If you cannot get the left and right eyeglass lens strength equal; it’s still important to reduce the strength of each lens. Getting the lenses equal and reduced is the best option, but some people have a large difference in the left, right eyes clarity so equalizing the eyeglass lenses may feel uncomfortable, at first, so they reduce only. An option is to buy 2 pair of glasses; the equal and reduced and reduced only. Then; wean your way into the equal and reduced as the vision improves.
     When buying; reduce the equal and reduced strength glasses a bit more to fit improvement in the vision. All glasses need more reduction as the sight improves and the lenses become too strong. Before glasses give 20/20; its time to reduce.

No bifocal! If you need to reduce for far and close vision; buy two pair of glasses; one reduced for far. One reduced for close. Wear them around your neck on a string. One higher to prevent scratching. Use glasses as little as possible.

The P.D., centering and height of the left and right eyeglass lenses, exact fit of the frames, handles... must be placed in the prescription. Here’s an optician that teaches about the P.D., height and other eyeglass settings that some online opticians don’t tell you; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hc81FJTMaw&list=UURZDLUHjkNwkm-4QMrqyTNA

Most people can do without glasses when the vision is clear at 20/70 to 20/50. Some at 20/100 or more unclear prefer to go without glasses. No glasses = eyesight improves faster. (Always stay legal, safe for driving, work, hobbies...) Eyeglasses are discontinued permanently as soon as possible. It is best to try and stop use of eyeglasses immediately. If the prescription is strong, the eyes contain cataract, detached retina, retina, optic nerve problem, glaucoma, potential for these or any eye health condition; STOP WEARING EYEGLASSES! Eyeglasses cause and increase cataract, detached retina, torn, leaking blood vessels, capillaries in the eye, retina and most all eye health problems. (Strong prescriptions will advance these conditions.) Eyeglasses can interfere with healing of an eye injury. Contact lenses also cause all of these problems.
     A man who wore strong glasses for many years started to see flashing blue lights. He told his eye doctor. The eye doctor then increased the eyeglass prescription, prescribed the strongest glasses the man ever wore. He then saw more blue lights, had a bout of temporary blindness. Doctor told him to keep wearing the glasses. Then more blue lights, then blindness. A blood vessel burst in his retina, glaucoma came back and black cataract in both eyes.
     In the past this man stopped wearing eyeglasses for a couple years and used the Bates Method. He cured cataract in both eyes and 80% of his glaucoma and myopia. Then he had a lot of stress in his life, lost his home and family. His vision blurred a bit from the stress. Stress can lower the vision. If glasses are avoided, relaxation obtained; the vision returns to clear. Unfortunately he followed his eye doctor’s advice and went back to glasses. This is when the trouble started, strong glasses prescribed which lead to blindness. Eye surgery was performed on the broken retina blood vessel. He is now staying away from glasses forever and works to restore his sight naturally. He refuses surgery for the cataracts because many of his eye problems occurred years ago due to eye surgery so he’s reluctant to trust doctors, hard to find a good one.
Most people can do without glasses when the vision is clear at 20/70 to 20/50. Some at 20/100 or more unclear prefer to go without glasses. No glasses = eyesight improves faster.

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.
Pinholes are used only in emergencies, for a few seconds to read a medicine bottle, a distant sign...to prevent squinting until vision improves. See our alternative to pinholes.
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.

I warn about this a lot; its due to the many people that contact me for help after reading glasses have caused, increased presbyopia, eye floaters and cataract...

FOR MANY YEARS PEOPLE, BUSINESSES THAT SELL EYEGLASSES, EYE SURGERY ARE TRYING TO PROMOTE THE USE OF STRONGER AND STRONGER PLUS CONVEX LENSES (CLOSE VISION EYEGLASS LENSES) TO BE WORN TO IMPROVE CLARITY OF DISTANT VISION. (IT DOES NOT WORK. IT CAUSES GREAT HARM TO THE EYES HEALTH AND THE 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.

Pass the State Drivers License Eyesight Exam - See Clear With Relaxation Practice on the RMV, DMV... Eyecharts at Home Before the Test;

Contact your state Government for the Driver's License renewal/test (RMV, DMV...). Some provide Eyecharts with directions for testing the clarity of vision and passing the Driver’s license vision exam. Practice at home before taking the vision test at the Motor Vehicle (RMV, DMV...) office. Continue to practice after the test to maintain clear vision. Contact your eye doctor for a exam.

Ask for visual acuity tests. Example; https://atlas-myrmv.massdot.state.ma.us/myrmv/_/

PDF is included - click the Link below. Print the chart and test your vision at home before the test at the Motor vehicle office. Practice the Natural Eyesight Improvement method in the e-books and/or this website. Books download page; Click Here

See directions for measuring the chart on your computer screen. Screens differ in size so check with your motor vehicle department for the correct size of the image. It might auto set for every size, type computer screen.

Chart may not be perfectly exact, and be aware this is for Massachusetts RMV clarity of vision required but the chart also tests for other levels. Your state, country may differ.

To be sure of the clarity; practice until you can also see a smaller line on the chart under the 40 line and practice on the regular large printout chart in the eyecharts chapter at 20 feet - Click Here
If you can see 20/20 and better, that’s great! Go for it! Vision is often clearer when not testing on the chart. Read about test cards, pessimums in Dr. Bates' Magazines.

Measure the chart on the computer, then print it, re-measure and place at the correct distance.

Dec., 20, 2013, I got;

    20/10; 10 line clear at 20 feet and fluctuates farther away, 40 ft... in right eye.
    Left eye fluctuates; 20 line at 20 feet, to 20/30. Can maintain 20/20 and see 10 line at 20 ft., and farther but have to wait 5-10 seconds as I blink, relax, shift, do some central fixation. That's my C1-C2 neck injury side. When not testing; just glance at chart with that eye during day, it will flash clear 10 line 20 ft.+
    Right eye is instant clear; don't need any extra practice, nothing.

Practicing at home first prevents a lot of the 'pressure to be perfect' during the exam. Less stress, no worry=easy to pass the test. The trick is to avoid letting the eye chart become as Bates says; “a pessimum”, a boring, use of effort TEST. We don't limit our interest to one line, one object all day. But the eyechart tends to do this. Result; less movement, muscle tension= temporary less clear vision.
