Hi what is Esther joy email could someone please send it me
This is the second time I’ve listened to this. It is such a marvelous interview. Thank you both! Dr. Lieberman, I’m enjoying Luminous Life and I’m anxious to try your color filter system!
maybe, we can treat our 2 eyes and brain almost like they are 3 separate brains. 3 distinct thinking entities.
Thank you for being the Champion of the Bates Method! 👍🌹💝
Nice to see the flat Earth in the background.
The sounds on this vid are making my cats go crazy looking for birds.
You’ve changed my life just now! Thank you very much Nathan. You’re a great, patient and empathetic teacher ❤
What do you think about using sunglasses? Does that affect our vision for the worse by blocking the UV rays or does it help? Does not using sunglasses help restore vision even if it causes more squinting?
Important reminds that books used to have large marginals side. If you look at Bates photos of Bible, the same. Cinema uses letterboxing for a rwason, so reading books with extra large marginal is essential.
Thank you Nathan very much for all the valuable info you share so generously ! Your Bates 101 videos are SO HELPFUL - not only have I personally benefitted tremendously by following them; I keep sharing the gems with my family and friends (...they're curious and wonder just HOW I did it😊) 🙏💎🌹💝
Hey Nathan is sun glasses bad for you I did catarac surgery in one of my eyes and when I drive due to the surgery where a lens was put in after d surgery I have to wear sunglasses due to the bright sunshine we have in Trinidad and that eye gives a glare with d bright sun so tell me whats yr advice please help if you can thanks
Hi Nathan I had cataract surgery in my left eye can I still do the sunning and palming thank you
I am very interested in better vision (without all the scientific wording and information) is your book something like that?
does this count for reading glasses as well?
When i do palming after i open my eyes my vision is getting better for a short time but the problem is my eyes get very dry its feel like i am with open eyes for a few minutes and didnt blink even once. Any suggestions?
Each one of your videos are packed with tons of valuable info given away for free!💎 Your Bates 101 videos are golden!👍 Thank you for being SO generous with such useful knowledge ❤❤❤❤❤
Bates method worked for myopia. I rid of my glasses of 13 years. However, Bates method seems to not work with my Presbyopia
Is this the correct video for brand new beginners, or is there another?
Thank you Nathan this was awesome!! This is so much more fun and makes so much more sense than all the eye exercises I have done to improve my eyesight. I really appreciate that you share your expertise on youtube.
Hi Nathan, I've been following your channel for some time. Could you please tell me how to deal with my vision problem? My right eye is squinting (it's a hidden strabismus) and it came on suddenly after I graduated college 8 years ago. I'm currently 32 years old, I have great vision, I don't need glasses for distance. I only wear computer glasses to relieve the strain on my eyes +0,5. I had many tests, including neurological ones, and no abnormalities were detected. Unfortunately, no one wants to help me with my eye problem. the image trembles, runs away, does not fit together. It's very irritating, it makes my head tense and my eyes get tired quickly. I can't even watch the whole movie in peace. Doctors say you have to live with it. Please, can you write something about this? Will it be like this forever? Is there any way to cure this? Thank you in advance for your help, best regards from Poland, Marcelina :)
Thank you Nathan!
So fantastic this experience palming party with you in this video thank youu!😊😞🤲
Yay I'm glad you enjoyed it! Happy summer solstice :)
Thank you very much sir.
It's my pleasure! Thanks for joining
I'm dealing with a lot of different conditions including upper cervical instability. So my neck and upper back are very much locked and don't have a great range of motion. I have many conditions related to the upper cervical issues however since that is beyond the scope of this. I believe that locked and incredibly tense neck has prevented me from using my eyesight intuitively. So recently my astigmatism has been getting a lot worse even without ever having a correction. At first I thought it was just another neurological condition, however my vision seems to have distorted and become a longer in the horizontal plane sudenly. Just on the off chance that anyone might have some advice about how I could correct this would be one less thing that I'm feeling hopeless about.
you have some video on presbyopia?
Hello Mr. Nathan Please ask you to interview Leo Engart. We are so excited that I and many of your followers have been waiting Thank you Mr. Nathan
Thank you for the suggestion
Nice video!
Thanks :)
Excellent video, thank you for sharing it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it Shelley!
I get flashes when I blink hard but as I keep journeying with natural seeing I get extended time especially in the morning.
Hi Nathan. What do you think about EndMyopia method? Personally, i think that it's sorta the same as the Bates method in the sense that people relax their eyes while doing "active focus". Ironically, even Jake Steiner, who bashes on the Bates method, almost got the core idea of the method, that you should not try hard to see, see the blurry letters what they are and treat that like a meditation (even though he doesn't like that "hippie stuff") :) But i suppose that they may slow down the progress by still wearing glasses, though weaker than their prescription. They don't recommend to ditch the glasses completely because, they claim. your brain can adapt to blur, and hence your vision get sorta lazy and don't want to improve. But could one just be aware of whether he sees an object clearly or blurry and check his vision (and also practice focusing on letters relaxed way) with Snellen test card? My theory is that EndMyopia method certainly helps to improve vision via active focus, and still wearing glasses with lower prescription allow people to stay relaxed (probably because when they take off the glasses they see everything blurry and strain a lot), and when they try to focus on distant objects while being relaxed, they can see it clearly (what they call "active focus"). Also it seems to me that they try to stay one leg on the scientific consensus on theory of accomodation, and the other on the field of non convential method of vision restoration (even though prescribing glasses and lasik surgery can't be considered "restoration" at all!). They hold on the theory that accomodation is produced only due to activity of ciliary muscle and that the lenght of the eye ball is fixed, but to the extend that it can lenghten to the point when the vision is restored to 20/20. But they don't wanna to have anything in common with the Bates method, because it contradicts the modern scientific consensus and hence they consider it bullshit even not reserching the topic properly.
Please note that this group has a very hard time getting people to improve better than -1 and eliminating astigmatism.
Watching video I've just developed the best excercise. Thank you Nathan. In 8 months after declining night lenses I started feeling relaxation. And now I concivied the best excercise, amazing
What is Alexander technique?
I love this approach. Thank you Nathan, and thank you Peter it's so interesting to see the DUALITY and then see as ONE by practicing PRESENCE. :) I love it
🙏
Super Video! I have glaucoma and myopia. I just started my vision recovery journey. Meir said Sonic?? is always lower eye pressure. @39minues. It is not clear what does that mean?
As I grew older and my myopia got worse so did what I thought was my light sensitivity. Interestingly, my light sensitivity was only when I was outdoors. It was not until I started researching releasing my ciliary muscle spasm and felt the watering and stinging while doing some active focus and rocking that I understood that most of my "light sensitivity" was not that but in fact ciliary muscle spasms --- as it felt the exactly the same. I noticed that in fact my eyes were trying to release and I was doing everything to stop it (e.g., squinting and hiding behind super dark glasses.). Based on what I learned, I started doing short morning walks (~15-20min) in the early morning light (high blue/yellow mix) every day without my glasses while just relaxing my eyes and trying to track birds. (I don't buy into the whole throw your glasses away thing that many Bates people follow. With starting at over -6 sph + cyl, I would not be able to see anything. So I buy more into the reduced lens model. ) However, moring light has really good UV for both your eyes and internal clock and most glasses shield UV. After about a week, I noticed almost all my outdoor light sensitivity had gone away. That includes driving in the afternoon under the intense sun here in the deep south. My eyes feel better and my cm measurements got better. Now I only wear sunglasses if I am in the sun long-term (e.g., outside swimming all afternoon) to avoid overexposure problems. Its amazing how much everyday knowledge about the eyes there is and misunderstood.
There is a lot of words being said here, what I am most interested in is the tool he used in 3:40, anyone has any idea?
Brilliant guys thank you🙏
Glad you enjoyed!
Good to see you're doing okay since surgery! Wish you a speedy recovery! God bless you Gentlemen 🌤💥🌹
Thank you - it's all uphill from here!
Hi Nathan, i am glad to find your channel. Does this method have benefits for keratoconus disease? Hope you will answer :)
I'm glad you're here! Yes, I encourage you to listen to Article 2: Conical Cornea from this month's Better Eyesight Podcast (Episode 59) www.bettereyesightpodcast.com/home/may1924
Hi Nathan, first of all I wish you a good recovery after your accident. I follow you from Italy. I'm 45 years old, hyperopia since birth, but now I'm starting to have problems seeing up close. However, no problems from afar or reading text on the monitor. With my smartphone and a book, yes. I see well during the day, but less so in the evening. I kindly ask you: 1) Is being outdoors and applying sunning and palming a valid choice? 2) I notice that if I wear sunglasses my vision gets worse. 3) Can I keep the lights on for reading in the evening or do they hurt my eyesight? 4) What Bates tips do you recommend that are most useful for my situation? 5) I have pinhole glasses, how many minutes daily? Thank you with all my heart❤
Hi, I also have hyperopia. Nathan has an episode with Meir Schneider. Meir has a routine in his book. - Sunning (10 mins daily). - Peripheral exercises (20 mins daily) and beware of periphery throughtout the day. - Palming (10 mins), look far into distance (20 mins) and close-up work (20 mins). I know this a lot, so you can play around with the time. Peripheral training, distance and palming are quite relaxing.
1) Yes, try "sun sandwiches" where you alternate between sunning for 5-10 seconds and palming for 5-10 seconds for a total of 1-5 minutes, or whatever feels most comfortable. 2) Sunning will help decrease the need for sunglasses. You can always use a hat if you need. 3) Depends on what type of lights. But yes, using a reading lamp at night is okay to illuminate your reading material. Maybe just don't use it right up to the point of going to bed, because the light might disrupt your circadian rhythms a bit and delay your natural melatonin production. 4) In addition to the relaxation practices you mentioned, I would also focus on some of the fusion practices that stimulate accommodation (like the Brock String or other activities that involve convergence) 5) Only wear them for however long feels comfortable, then take them off for a little while before putting them back on. It's not about replacing one crutch with another crutch. It's about using them for specific times and purposes to learn good vision habits like central fixation that you can maintain when you have the pinhole glasses off. Have fun!
@@johnnyinternet6310Thx a lot
@@NathanOxenfeld Thx a lot Doc. You're very kind. I'll follow your guide and your tips. Have a nice day 💪
Biggest apprehension I get when vision clears, is I feel nude on stage when outside, lol. I have to be more extroverted again, or at least more focused & “noise cancelling” of outside distractions. I’m certain I’ll naturalize with it with more exposure. 🥰
I also had to learn how to balance out my introversion with some more extroversion in the process of improving my vision naturally. I felt "naked" without my glasses. When my vision was still blurry, it was almost like that old "peek-a-boo" game, where it was like, if I can't see people, people can't see me. But when I would get a clear flash and I COULD see people, I felt like all of a sudden people could see me. So I realized there was a connection between me seeing clearly and me being okay with being seen by the world.
@@NathanOxenfeld yes exactly! seeing more = being seen more. A sort of rebirth & therefore need for some integration. Wearing a new life, as it were. It is truly our natural optimal state, so all is need is acclimation... Then more life & willful living🥳😌🙏
You two both have been my favorite so awesome you guys linked up. Interested in that conference you referenced and future ones.
We've got our next Association of Vision Educators Conference in the Fall of 2024! naturalvisionteachers.org/ and I'm working on organizing a Vision Retreat the first weekend of October 2024... stay tuned!
I'l start eyes exercises today. In 3 months I'll come back here to tell you if it worked. Today is May 17th. See you soon! Leave a like and a comment to receive notifications.
im also starting eye exercises lets see if i can make a difference in my vision
So what do i do kindly
hi i can see naturally in dark really well
That's awesome! That's a good skill to have
It's a shame so many of the products you suggest are no longer available thru amazon. I buy incandescent lights whenever and wherever I can still find them. The natural eye care products that helped me so much over the years have been taken off the market. It's as if they want us to be dependent on the things that are bad for us. Our health care system is really killing us softly.
I was very bummed to learn about incandescent and halogen light bulbs being banned last July in the USA... I made sure to stock up on a bunch before they got banned!
Thank you Nathan for many years of help with my eyes.
Thanks for following! Keep it up
I didn't feel any of the things I was supposed to feel, but I did learn something. When I take my glasses off, I see the shape of Michel's and Nathan's facesand but not their features. When I totally let my eyes drop and stop consciously working them, their features begin to appear. I opened my eyes wider, and they became a blur again, so this told me something.
Nice, it's amazing what happens when you just take your glasses off, relax, and experiment. Keep playing with it!
