087: How To Alleviate Your Astigmatism

In this episode, I share some updates (including a big announcement!) and address the mental/emotional aspects of astigmatism, which is a common vision problem that can often accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. Certain personality traits like indecision, self-doubt, and confusion can sometimes contribute to astigmatism, so practicing decisiveness, self-confidence, and clarity may help alleviate astigmatism on a deeper level. Dr. Bates' main advice was to "ignore astigmatic images", which is sometimes easier said than done! To go even further into reversing astigmatism naturally with me and a small group, you can join my 4 week online class series this month called ALLEVIATING ASTIGMATISM going from July 28 to August 18, 2026.

084: Glasses - To Wear or Not To Wear? + Does The Bates Method Really Work?

In this episode, Certified Bates Method Teacher, Nathan Oxenfeld shares the audio versions of the two videos he filmed while in Italy. Part 1 is the Natural Vision Vlog #6 about the role that glasses play in the natural vision training process. Quitting cold turkey is not always the best way to go about improving vision naturally. Sometimes it is better to gradually wean off glasses over time by wearing full correction or reduced prescription lenses. It is important to avoid blur adaptation, which could be an impediment to improvement. Part 2 is the Bates Method 101 section addressing the basic question of whether the Bates Method really works and if it is really possible to improve vision naturally. Sometimes the prospect of seeing clearly without glasses seems too good to be true, which can lead to doubt, skepticism, and disbelief. Not only is it possible to improve vision naturally, but oftentimes the more someone believes it is possible the more results they obtain. One thing you can do to begin believing even more is reading the new book A New World Of Seeing: Practices and Perspectives of Natural Vision Improvement, which features articles from 43 authors from 16 countries - all of whom have experienced improvements in their vision naturally. It is available now in paperback or eBook versions, and the audiobook version is coming soon too!
