Read Without Glasses at Any Age: The Natural Method to Near Vision Clarity

Having read this book I can say it has been very useful reading journey or experience. The information is thorough and complete and gave me a constant smile.The reason for my smile was the clear quality of explaining !In my opinion the book is a very interesting buy for both teachers ( I am a Bates NVI teacher ) and people with presbyopia. But also when you are interested in any othereyecondition(s) it is for certain worth the buy. Topics like central fixation are very often not very easyto understand. I have not found a book giving a better explanation ! The information and instructionare simple, exact and logical and you can experience things while reading.It helped me improve my own small print reading vision in just 2 weeks ! I could not read small print at all with my left eye. Now I can. The only 2 things I did every day for about 3 or 5 minutes was reading small print and using some of the tools provided by this book. By the way the name for nothaving the same acuity in your eyes anisometropia. This is mentioned in this book. This book triggered me to test both my eyes. I did not know I had this inbalanced eye condtition.Just to emphasize how complete this book is. Every reference is given. Which also shows how much.... the author has put in the book. I wanted to say effort, but I can also say how much interest theauthor has in the subject presbyopia ( or old age sight) in combination with NVII have also read a lot of great sentences which I can directly use for my teachings. When books become this well written teachers become less important. However Esther advices to contact yourlocal Bates teacher as well. I also think that is wise thing to do. To make sure you do learn and reachyour full potential and do not make mistakes or slow down in your relearnings. Make sure you makeyour progress measurable. Or determine at which position your vision becomes a challenge. Thismakes going this route very motivating. Accept where you are at this moment do not accept to staythere. Find a teacher who teaches and understands the right vision habits. ( Sketch, Breath and Blinkand the main principles. If your teacher only talks about exercises find another teacher. Importantthemes are Relaxatiom movement and Central fixation. And of course imagination. ) Most teachercan teach you the basics very quickly. The law of adaptation is always present in the right and in thewrong direction. Without any doubt this is a 5 star book !!!Kind regards, D. Bergkamp.

In this book Esther gets you started from page one, assuming no prior familiarity with natural vision improvement using the Bates Method. Her writing style is encouraging, sincere, and enthusiastic, backed by a deep knowledge of the Bates Method from years of full-time professional practice and from reading Dr. Bates' original writings from the early 1900's.To get you oriented in the book, she uses large print. That will encourage people who use reading glasses to either discard their glasses entirely to read the book, or to use lower power glasses.Esther gradually reduces the font size throughout the book, even offering identical passages, back to back in progressively smaller fonts. Contrary to popular opinion, fine print is NOT bad for your eyes. In fact, it promotes relaxed vision. And some of the print in this book is very tiny, much smaller than you will find in a "regular" book - which is a good thing! It's all to help promote relaxed, clear vision. The book would be much less effective without this feature.Who will benefit from this book? The Bates Method is not a "quick fix" gimmick. If you've heard of the Bates Method and are more than casually committed to trying it for presbyopia (middle-aged sight); or if you're a serious student of the Bates Method; or if you understand the power of self-healing; or if you consider yourself a spiritual person and believe in finding answers within, then this book is for you.Thank you Esther for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm!PS: One tiny complaint about the physical book itself: The covers tend to curl. That's a minor annoyance, and I didn't deduct any stars for that.

I've been practicing the Bates method for quite a while and I like to have books like this to share with friends. This book is a great addition to my library. Explaining the concept of relaxing into seeing is one thing, but this book guides you slowly through the process. The font starts off large, so that you can still read it, without your glasses. Eventually, you'll be surprised at how your eyes improve, and that reading smaller print is even relaxing. Yes, you heard that right. Reading smaller print becomes relaxing as you get the knack of it! I highly recommend this process; it has worked wonders for my own eyes, and it's a joy.

Stupid boring useless book. You read it and eventually begin fill in the many words with BLAH BLAH BLAH after a few pages. She loves to hear herself spout off words. As to excercises for eyes, good luck determining the needed works. I was looking for precise info and found too much mental words to break down into usable exercises. I looked to return a few days after 30 days.I still can’t see well enough to read without trying “lesser” glasses. I’m SO frustrated daily trying to “ditch the reading glasses to read again.”I couldn’t see my TV, I couldn’t read recipes as I was cooking, I couldn’t see the dishes whether or not they were clean when I washed them, I wasn’t sure about anything I was as I tried to “ditch my glasses.”If your at 3.75+ and higher readers this book and so-called help is going to frustrate you to no end. I downed my readers to 2.50 and after a month gave up. Extremely frustrated.Basically a scam. I’m so mad I didn’t return this in the very short 30 day window.

I was told years ago that using glasses every day weakens your eyesight. Sometimes I get up in the morning and take my dog out to do his business and I forget to put on glasses. I have noticed that my eyesight is not as bad as it is later in the day after wearing glasses all day. So I plan on trying out this method. I am hoping to strengthen my eyes. Not 20/20 but at least improve my eyes a little bit.

I like it.

I have been using the book for a short while and the advice and exercises seem to improve my ability to see things at close range. However it seems that you do need to keep doing the exercises at least at the start. But I would suggest that you don't 'over-do' them.

Huge fan of Esther’s work

This is an amazing book. It teaches you how to improve your eyesight no matter how old you are – and it's easy!
