The [[reduced lens method]] is based on the premise that a stimulus is necessary to induce a change. Bates' teachings, both found in his original work and the modern day spin-offs, do not provide such a stimulus. This makes it hard (if not impossible) to use the Bates Method to get back to full natural eyesight without using corrective lenses or laser surgery. | |||

[[Ciliary muscle spasm]] is the primary culprit in what is known as "[[pseudomyopia]]/[[near induced transient myopia]]". Exercises used in the Bates Method can relieve eye strain and get rid of [[ciliary muscle spasm]]. The reduced lens method proposes the use of [[Active Focus]] in conjunction with enough solid [[distance vision]] to relieve this muscle spasm. | ||
