Bates Method
This is the Website of the Bates Association for Vision Education. The purpose of these pages is to inform you about vision improvement.
We teach people how to improve their eyesight without lenses or surgery.
In addition we teach people how to increase their chances of healing in cases of degenerative eye disease.

The Moon Swing: new movement vision game online
Already proving popular, a new animation is available to help understand the Bates concepts of shifting and swings.
Seeing.org updated!
It's finally happened! After ten years on the web, seeing.org has had a facelift. As one of the first websites about improving vision to go live, way back in 1999, and the first website specifically about the Bates Method on the Internet, we're proud to bring things up to date.
Your comments on the new site are very welcome - contact us - and this is just a start. Stay tuned as the vision games come online, read new articles from our contributors and get in the party with the discussions.
There's more techniques to try, a streamlined menu system to get you to the info you want, fast: The Bates Method on the internet has expanded exponentially in the last ten years and what was once a hard-to-find resource is now readily available.
How to use this site
The primary goal of the new design was to simplify your experience in finding the information you want. Seeing.org is quite a large site and in order to make information as accessible as possible there is a dynamic menu system.
Firstly, the menu at the top of every page shows the six main headings for the site. Hover your mouse over any of the headings and a sub-menu drops down to show you the available topics and sub-sections. This menu will allow you to get anywhere in the site fast.
Note: Can't see the menu at the top? Read the box-out on Adobe Flash below
On the left is a context menu. You can also navigate the entire site here, but the difference is that this menu changes with the context of the page you are on.
Finally, just under the heading banner of each page is a sitemap location menu which shows clearly where you are in the structure of the site on any page.
I've aimed to make the user experience as easy as possible, if you have difficulty I'm happy to hear your feedback.
This site requires Adobe Flash Player
'Flash' is a web technology that allows dynamic movement, video, interactive buttons, menus, sound, animation and more. Most modern browsers will have it installed already so you will probably not have to do anything to enjoy using this site to its fullest.
Have I got Flash?
At the very top of this page there is a menu system which opens when you hover your mouse over any of the site section titles. If you don't see this menu then you haven't got Flash; you can download it here:
