This article compares [[ | This article compares the [[reduced lens method]] to other "vision improvement methods". | ||
We're already dismissive of them when we even refer to them. It stems from the fact that vision improvement stuff is a crowded space, '''full of things that don't work'''. Things that don't address the [[causality]] behind why someone has myopia. People shoving paid stuff in your face soon after you visit the page for the first time. | We're already dismissive of them when we even refer to them.

How does the Bates method address the underlying biology in reversing the [[axial elongation]] of the eye? There are [[clinical studies]] that just as [[hyperopic defocus]] can increase axial length and therefore myopia, the [[myopic defocus]] used by EndMyopia can decrease axial length. The Bates method relies on eye exercises such as [[palming]], [[swinging]] and other things which don't appear to provide a known stimulus that reduces the length of the eyeball. | How does the Bates method address the underlying biology in reversing the [[axial elongation]] of the eye?

Most | Most proponents of the reduced lens methods agree that [[William Bates]] was a great practitioner for his time, and came up with good insights. With that said, the Bates method as commonly taught by many [[Bates teachers]] is usually far removed from those original ideas. Bates' original writings were also made in a time before prevalant usage of screens which, when combined with glasses, causes a [[stimulus]] for [[lens-induced myopia]] to occur. The Bates method may be okay for relieving [[eye strain]], but it's largely ineffectual. | ||
