The Bates Method is a term that was later coined for what Bates called
Nature's way of perfect vision.  His main points were, the eye can
only see one part of an object best and in order to see the rest of it
your eyes must scan all around the object and you must be able to
remember what is being seen clearly and to retain this mental image.
He also said  ne should blink as the normal eyes does because blinking
refreshes the eyes and it will also prevent staring, because the eyes
moves a little when you blink.  He also taught people how to relax and
to calm their mind (this is the part that most people do not
understand), so that they may be able to remember things clearly and
will be able to see more clearly. Basically, it is his method of un-
teaching bad vision habits and replacing them with good vision
habits.  Once someone has learned to relax, will not strain, can
centralize (see one part best), keep the eyes moving (learning
oppositional movement), blink often and be able to remember things
exactly as they are meant to be seen, then the vision will improve.  I
may be forgetting something, but I hope I am not.  All of this
information is in the 1920 book and in the medical journals and also
in the magazines that were published around that time.

Some things can be found at www.iblindness.org and others at various
parts of the net.  It is all available for free because of the
copyright laws expiring and what not.
