<a href="http://www.i-see.org/perfect_sight/" rel="nofollow">http://www.i-see.org/perfect_sight/</a><p>William Horatio Bates (1860-1931) first published his treatise, The Cure of Imperfect Sight by Treatment Without Glasses (title page), also known as Perfect Sight Without Glasses (cover), in 1920.<p>This guy has some kind of crazy ideas; but the general thing I learned from him is that the shape of the lens of the eye is a function of three sets of muscles that can be trained/relaxed to help vision come back to 'normal'.<p>A great read.  The HN worthy title would be "hacking your crappy vision"
