 See Vista Natural Vision Improvement teaches the Bates Method of Natural Vision Improvement to students in Albany, NY, Great Barrington, MA and Northampton, MA. This monumental field of Natural Vision Improvement began in the late 1800s with ophthalmologist William H. Bates. Dr. Bates graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University and eventually became an instructor of ophthalmology at New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital. As a practicing doctor, Dr. Bates noted a discrepancy between conventional medicine’s model of the visual system and his patients’ visual experiences. He began experimentation on the eye as he simultaneously improved the vision of patients and students outside of the lab. Bates discovered the important correlation between poor vision and eye strain. “Whenever the eye tries to see, it at once ceases to have normal vision…The eye possesses perfect vision only when it is absolutely at rest…” With this observation, the Natural Vision Improvement field emerged. 
Founded in 2004 by Jana Vilner, See Vista introduces the Bates Method of Natural Vision Improvement as an accessible program of good vision habits. Students practice using their own eyes in reading, playing sports, using the computer, watching TV, communicating, and seeing at night. Without eye exercises, students expect vision improvement in the above listed activities and more.
Many choose the Bates Method of Natural Vision Improvement because it offers a solution to blurred vision that does not involve surgery such as Lasik, and minimizes or discontinues altogether the use of glasses and contacts. The Bates Method teaches that poor vision affects the health of the entire body. From this perspective, surgery (Lasik), glasses or contacts seem mere band aids. Blurry vision provides the body with a natural signal which indicates a dysfunction in the visual system. When a person chooses surgery, glasses or contacts to mask this simple warning signal, more serious problems may arise. Ophthalmologist Deborah E. Banker, M.D. commented, “…your reading glasses are causing you to lose your ability to see for near, accelerating cataracts, glaucoma, floaters, vitreous detachment, potentially retinal detachment and perhaps macular degeneration…” Furthermore, since the eyes remain attached to the body, visual discomfort translates to other parts of the body. For example, a person with blur oftentimes complains of tension in the neck, head and shoulders. By reducing the blur without surgery, glasses or contacts, the Bates Method restores circulation and nutrition to both the visual system and other compromised body systems. Posture may improve along with emotional health, concentration and imagination. Visual qualities such as vivid color, texture awareness and depth perception increase in conjunction with clarity improvement. The rewards of Natural Vision Improvement prove much greater than those of its mechanical alternatives which “fix” the blur but leave the rest of the body clamoring for natural vision, which is essentially optimal health.

“I feel great, can read much longer with more comfort, work on the computer (sensibly) and do close work. I'm also not experiencing tension driving. Thank you so much. I hope more people begin to realize we can affect our vision with these simple techniques.”
