488: Sponsor Influence

Bates Method, Eye Exercises, William Horatio Bates

The hosts examine the Bates Method, an alternative vision therapy developed by William Horatio Bates in the late 19th century. The theory suggests that vision problems are caused by mental strain and eye muscle tension rather than permanent physiological defects. The discussion explores the concept of "training the brain" to see clearly and the skepticism surrounding the optometry industry.
