Abstract: With constant strains on the eyes from use of computers, devices and the ordinary stresses of modern life, the Bates method is more relevant than ever. In Improve Your Eyesight Jonathan Barnes has re-interpreted this classic self-help technique for a new generation. Developed by Dr William Bates in 1919, the Bates method is a series of exercises and everyday techniques to incorporate into your life that corrects all the common eye problems: short-sight, long-sight, astigmatism and the decline of vision due to age. It can correct anyone's vision techniques, teaching relaxation and visualisation exercises that ease the strain on the eyes and allows the eyes to perform at their best. With simple instructions and the use of eye charts included in the book, this practical and accessible guide could significantly improve your eyesight in just half an hour a day.

Abstract: Summary.-The present study was done ro ~nvestigate the effects of stereoscopic eye exercises on visual acuity, testing 20 college students (9 men and 11 women, ages 18 to 35 yr.). Visual acuity was assessed before and after the exercises through six tests: far vision-both eyes, right eye, left eye; and near vision-both eyes, right eye, left eye. Statistically significant improvements were found on five of the six pretestposrtest comparisons: far vision-both eyes, right eye, and left eye; and near visionboth eyes, right eye, and left eye. Changes in far vision, right eye only approached significance. Limitations of the present study were discussed, and recommendations for research were presented. This study was prompted by experiences with a son who was said to need glasses by school staff, but after having practiced eye exercises with a stereoscope, when examined by an ophthalmologist, was 201/16' for near and far on tests for both eyes, right eye, and left eye. Examination of published sources gave information from uncontrolled observations; few experiments appear to have been undertaken. The sources included work by Spoerel (1982) who described a visit to China in 1974 where children were taught eye exercises in the classroom for the purpose of prevention of weaknesses in coordination and improvement of vision and adaptation. Spoerel states "I don't know whether it is statistically possible, or has been tried, to demonstrate that school children who do these exercises regularly, have better eyesight-or that there are fewer cases of strabismus or myopia (nearsightedness) amongst them" (Spoerel, 1982, p. 71). Rosanes-Berrett (1974) with the help of Frederick Perls, combined Gestalt psychotherapy with sight-training techniques. She reported seven cases in which clients' vision improved using Dr. Horatio Bates's techniques of vision therapy which required a machine that resembled a stereoscope. Also, Peppard (1 940) advocated treatment for strain, presbyopia, and farsightedness, through eye exercises. Seiderman and Schneider (1988) described improving sports performance through visual training (drills and exercises). Karatz (1975) gave documentation critical of the Bates method of eye exercises as a means of improving acuity. Matlin (1988) also questioned Bates's views that improvement occurs through changes in eye muscles. The present authors on the basis of a case study approach based on one subject, decided to test the effects of stereoscopic exercises in a more sys
