"Enlightened" Optometrists

Robert-Michael Kaplan and Jacob Liberman hold doctorate degrees in optometry, and both used to have private practice in optometry. They now work outside the established institutions of optometry, although Kaplan also uses reduced prescription techniques as a means to encourage change. They work as consultants to optometrists and other health care providers, and their books combine ideas from the Bates method, behavioural optometry, as well as insights they have gained as optometrists.

Behavioural Optometry

Behavioural optometry is usually considered to be a tradition completely unrelated to the Bates school of eye education. Where the principle behind the Bates method is to enable the eye to see well without glasses or other devices in a mind-over-matter sort of way, behavioural optometry relies on "therapeutic" and "stress-reducing" lenses, patches, and mechanistic games to achieve a goal of efficient vision. Naturally, "freedom from glasses" could never be promoted by any group of optometrists who wish to remain in good standing with their peers, but the promise is there, if muted.
