History: Harry Quek has been wearing glasses since 1962. He had astigmatism and was myopic, had
night blindness since young and was told he needed bi-focals when he reached the age of 40. In 1999, he put away his glasses permanently after attending a 2-day seminar in May 1997 by Dr Janet Goodrich, a disciple of the Bates Method. Since then he moves and drives around without glasses.

Origin: The field of vision improvement has its root in the Bates Method and vision therapy. Dr William Bates was a [pioneering ophthalmologist who practiced in the early 1900s. Dr Bates realized that when he prescribed lenses, his patients’ vision worsened. He realized he was affecting symptoms but not the cause of poor vision.

Dr William Bates graduated with a medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons Columbia University in New York. He was an instructor of ophthalmology at the New York Post Graduate Medical School Hospital and well respected surgeon.

Dissatisfied with conventional practice, he began his own research into eyesight disorders. He had observed patients with refractive errors (e.g. myopia) spontaneously change for the better...that challenged the accepted assumptions that nothing can be done other than prescribing glasses.

Expelled. Ophthalmologists at the medical school put glasses on myopic doctors and Bates had those doctors remove their glasses and cured them of myopia. Dr Roosa, head of the institution did not accept what Bates had been doing and expelled him from the institution in 1891.

In 1896 Dr Bates began to implement his method for preventing myopia for children in public schools of Grand Forks, North Dakota and the Harlem Hospitals, Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital and New York Infirmary.

Better Vision is much more than just seeing more clearly; you strain less… and perceive more. Many people begin natural vision improvement to see clearly. They often surprised when they can perform better in sports, read more easily, relax more easily, become creative, and much more. Each person’s process is different, and the benefits are different for each person.
