More “Nuggets” from Dr Bates… An excerpt from his “Better Eyesight” magazine

“I was especially interested in a case of squint in a girl of fourteen, who had been attending the clinic about three months before I saw her. She had worn glasses since she was four years of age to correct the trouble, but had been growing gradually worse. When her sight was first tested she read 12/40 with her left or better eye.

When asked to read the card with her squinting eye, she turned her head half way around to the left in trying to see it. Mrs. Lierman gave her one simple relaxing exercise to do and left her for a few minutes.

At the next test she read 12/40 with the squinting eye without turning her head. Of course, that was temporary relief, as on straining again the squint would recur; but it showed what could be done by continuous treatment, and when I left New York the right eye was as straight as the left and did not change when the patient was excited or annoyed, or on reading or studying. She told me she could read or study for hours at a time without headaches or discomfort, while before coming to the clinic she could look at a book for only a few minutes at a time”

* Dr. M. H. Birnbaum states in the Review of Optometry, “Single-vision minus lenses for full-time use produce  accommodative insufficiency associated with additional symptoms until the patient gets used to the lens. This  is usually accompanied by a further increase in myopia and the cycle begins anew.”

* Dr. Samuel Druker writes in the Optical Journal Review,  “From a clinical point of view, the conclusion would seem inescapable that minus lenses are an important  factor among the causes of progressive myopia.”

In other words, glasses and contacts can actually make your vision worse over time. Is that something you want to risk with  your eyesight?
