Does The Bates Method work for myopia (shortsightedness) and presbyopia (reading blur)?
Ans: The Bates Method works for all vision problems – myopia, presbyopia, astigmatism and hyperopia (long-sightedness). The Bates Method encourages self-healing. When the vision system returns to normal, it is capable of operating in any situation (see far and near) effortlessly and efficiently. For example, if presbyopia affects all individuals when they hit 40 years of age, then one would never be able to find any individuals who can still see perfectly (6/6 or 20/20) near and far. We know there are many exceptions out there, and you will definitely be able to find friends or relatives who are already in their 50’s and could still see far and near perfectly without a need for reading or distance glasses.
