Clearing the mind, improving the memory, and relaxing are all noble
goals.

But when it comes to describing specifically how (or even whether) it
reduces myopia, presbyopia, or astigmatism, we can't find good
evidence other than enthusiastic anecdotes.

Bates said it "improves sight". Maybe in a new-age sort of fashion, it
does. But it doesn't reduce structural anomalies and it can't be
relied on as a cure for macular degeneration or glaucoma or cataract.
There MIGHT even be some measurable effects. But doctors have to
recommend what DOES work first, before they recommend what MIGHT work
A LITTLE for SOME.
