interesting book about Bate's method!, if you wanna learn this method; this is a good book. easy to read & understand.
excellent introduction to the Bates Method
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is an excellent introductory text to the Bates Method. The author, Peter Mansfield, goes over the behavior of the eye and various visual problems (a pretty standard practice in Bates books), then he goes over what the Bates Method is and isn't. The previous reviewer said that this book does not offer practical "exercises" and "mental shananigans". But that reviewer may need to read the text more thoughtfully, for I think the author makes a good attempt at dispelling wrong ideas the reader is likely to have about what to expect from this book, a Bates teacher, or the Bates Method in general. I recommend this book to people new to the Bates Method, as people too often approach it completely wrong.A couple quotes from the book:"This is not a 'how to' book. A book can explain an idea, but practical skills need to be learned in practice." "We have to learn a different way of thinking, a process that may take a little time, for the simple reason that if our thinking were right we would have nothing to learn."
IT'S A BETTER SPECTACLE WITHOUT MY SPECTACLES

I haven't worn my glasses in the couple of years since I read this. This is the best of the books on Bates that I've seen. It was easy to read and filled in nicely on showing how misleading and misled the traditional optical industry is with their "a lens will cure vision faults" mentality.
