  • Can Eye Exercises Improve My Eyesight?


    Question:

    What is your view on eye exercises to improve my eyesight, e.g. the Bates method? Does it work?


    Answer:

    There is no irrefutable (undeniable) evidence that eye exercises can affect uncorrected visual acuity (sharpness of vision). Eye exercises may be of benefit for some eye misalignment conditions. Discuss your questions about eye exercises with your ophthalmologist.
