Dr. Bates and his ingenious method for stimulating sight

In the early 20th century, renowned ophthalmologist Dr. Bates developed a unique method for improving eye health through simple exercises and practical techniques. In a world where screens dominate our daily lives, it’s essential to take good care of our eyes. His method is based on targeted exercises designed to strengthen eye muscles, improve blood circulation and reduce eyestrain.

Among his recommendations, Dr. Bates suggests focusing exercises, where we alternate between near and distant objects to train the eyes’ ability to accommodate. He also suggests regular breaks when using screens, following the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away (about 6 meters) for 20 seconds. With Elim® eyewear, you can easily and effectively perform these exercises on a daily basis, and the restful effect on the eyes is felt immediately.

In addition, Dr. Bates encourages the use of visual relaxation techniques, such as conscious blinking, to hydrate the eyes and prevent dryness. With these approaches, he hopes to raise public awareness of the importance of eye health and offer solutions accessible to all. His method, which combines simplicity and effectiveness, still seems relevant today.

Based on the work of Dr. Bates, Elim could enhance our relationship with vision. With its anti-fatigue and anti-myopia eyewear, the company offers an effective solution for preventing and curing myopia and eye fatigue caused by excessive exposure to screens and other media (notebooks, books) that strain our near vision.
