Resources Does this method have anything to do with Bates? FAQ n. 14. Power Vision System - Does this method have anything to do with the Bates’ one? - Answers David De Angelis Dr. William Bates is surely the most important person for having turned our attention onto the fact that the process of accommodation is closely linked with ocular muscles’ perfect functioning and that the shape of eyeball can be modified by contracting and relaxing the extrinsic ocular muscles and changing focal point on the retina. (This is your refractive status that is measured by using a trial lens kit (phoroptor) by you or your optometrist.) Our method is different than the Bates’ method, because in the Power Vision System the muscles are trained by regarding the two main characteristics which rule Muscular performance (actually focusing). These two factors are always: strength and flexibility. Bates insisted on “light” approach of relaxing exercises (or movement). The Power Vision System insists on complete improvement of the most important characteristics and properties of ocular muscles – strength and flexibility. To clarify, it’s like difference between (light) yoga and artistic gymnastics, The analogy is where the athletes are trained well and their muscles are very flexible and strong. This is not by accident. The gymnasts are endowed with that what’s called “refined dexterity” in movements which requires extremely precise coordination and motor qualities. Ocular muscles need this extraordinary quality – or refined dexterity – to fulfil as complex as task – as focusing is. However, this phenomenon is underestimated, since we were born with this natural motor ability (our eyes as well) -- but a long, hard work is needed to become gymnast. When you have a visual error, and you eventually reach 10/10 vision, your success is as though you obtained 10/10 score at springboard. Surely, it’s not an easy task. Undoubtedly the path to reach 10/10 exists and the furrow has already been plowed in my judgment. Back
