Vision Therapy Eyewear

This eyewear was developed by ophthalmologist Dr. William Bates, who observed that his patients' vision worsened with regular glasses. He found that glasses hindered the eyes' natural healing process and designed spectacles with tiny holes to retrain the eyes to see clearly and naturally.

Dr. Bates' theory was that by allowing only limited light rays to pass through the tiny holes directly into the eye, a clearer image would be formed. These glasses are calibrated for seeing distances of 6 meters (20 feet). However, they are not suitable for reading objects up close, as the image becomes excessively strong at a distance of one foot.
