1. Healthy Christian Lifestyle (formerly Natural Health Matters) with David Sandstrom, N.D. & Carl Vigilante – Episode 134: “Natural Vision Improvement”
“What if what you’ve been told about vision as you age is all wrong? Requiring glasses after the age of 40 is not inevitable. In this episode, learn about a little-known technique called The Bates Method that helped David and countless others throw away their glasses.”
David Sandstrom, N.D. has a conversation with me about the Bates Method and Natural Vision Improvement. David is a retired airline pilot. Around his 40th birthday, David’s vision began deteriorating. By 42, he nearly flunked an airline medical exam with 20/70 sight. Unwilling to fly with cumbersome glasses, he discovered the Bates method and practiced Greg Marsh’s audio program “Reclaim Your Eyesight Naturally.” After just 8 weeks, David ditched his glasses. To his amazement, his vision was 20/20, and on good days 20/15.
2. The Science of Self-Healing Podcast with Sharon Stills, N.D. & Claudia Muehlenweg – Episode 53: “A Holistic Approach to Better Eyesight: Wearing Glasses Isn’t the Answer”
“Never would we continue going to a doctor for a broken bone if the doctor continued making it worse over time, yet that is exactly now our vision healthcare paradigm is construed, as we assume that vision simply must worsen with age. Claudia joins Dr. Stills today to bust that myth, and share how to improve your eyesight naturally, without the help of expensive prescriptions.”
Sharon Stills, N.D. of the Bioregulatory Medicine Institute interviews Claudia Muehlenweg, an expert on improving eyesight naturally. Claudia is the founder of Holistic Vision, LLC and creator of the Naturally Clear Vision Method, based on the Bates method. The Naturally Clear Vision Method improves farsightedness, nearsightedness, presbyopia, strabismus, lazy eye, and more.
3. The Naked Eye Podcast with Nathan Oxenfeld, CBMT – Episode 2: “The Bates Method vs. Eye Exercises”
“The Naked Eye Podcast is a show designed to help people learn how to see clearly with the naked eye. No glasses, no contacts, no laser eye surgeries… just natural vision improvement. Together we’ll explore the holistic side of eye care and how natural alternatives like the Bates Method, Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork and more can give you healthier eyes, which leads to better eyesight and insight.”
Nathan Oxenfeld, Certified Bates Method Teacher, improved his vision naturally after wearing glasses and contacts for 15 years. Nathan went on to become a vision educator. He states, “My mission is to help as many people as I can break their addiction to artificial lenses, and switch back on to auto-focus mode.” Nathan started The Naked Eye Podcast in 2015 and it’s is still going strong. In the second episode, back in March 14th, 2015, he introduces us to William H. Bates, M.D. and the Bates Method of Natural Vision Improvement.
4. Better Eyesight Podcast with Nathan Oxenfeld & Esther Joy van der Werf” – Episode 1: “July 1919”
“In the first official episode of the Better Eyesight Podcast, co-hosts Nathan Oxenfeld and Esther van der Werf read through the very first Better Eyesight magazine that was originally published in July 1919. Exactly one hundred years later, these two Bates Method teachers breathe life back into the words of Dr. William H. Bates, and also provide some modern commentary on the topics brought up in each article.”
Nathan Oxenfeld started the Better Eyesight Podcast with the help of fellow Bates method teacher Esther van der Werf in July 2019, exactly 100 years after the first publication of Dr. Bates’ Better Eyesight magazine that ran for 11 years, until June 1930. Each month, Nathan, Esther and other fellow vision educators read Dr. Bates’ original publication on improving vision naturally. The first issue was titled:
Better Eyesight, July 1919: A monthly magazine devoted to the prevention and cure of imperfect sight without glasses.
- Article 1: The Flashing Cure
- Article 2: Foreword
- Article 3: Fundamental Facts
- Article 4: Central Fixation
- Article 5: A Teacher’s Experience
- Article 6: Army Officer Cures Himself
5. Natural Eye Care Podcast with Marc Grossman, Holistic Optometrist – Episode 24: “A Short Biography of William Bates, Founder of the Bates Method“
“Dr. William Bates invented techniques for improving eyesight using natural methods, such as eye exercises. In this podcast episode, Dr. Marc Grossman discusses the life of Dr. Bates and his impact on vision health.”
In this episode, Dr. Marc Grossman offers an accurate biography of Dr. William H. Bates and fascinating history of the Bates Method of Natural Vision Improvement. Please keep in mind that although Dr. Grossman uses the word “exercises” to described the techniques invented by Dr. Bates, Bates himself never did. That the Bates method is merely exercises is a common misconception. “Exercise” implies effort. Bates method techniques are just the opposite. They are relaxation and letting go of effort. Perhaps this is why Dr. Bates himself never mentioned the word “exercises.”
Marc Grossman, O.D. L.Ac. is an holistic eye doctor who has helped many people to maintain healthy vision and even improve their eyesight. He is dedicated to helping with all eye conditions. His combined multi-disciplinary approach includes nutrition, eye exercises, lifestyle changes and Chinese Medicine. This provides him with a wide array of tools to tackle difficult eye problems.
