Vision Resources
You can usually find a good book or two about the Bates Method at your public library, including:Better Vision Now by Clara Hackett (includes a chapter on vision care for children)
28 Days to Reading Without Glasses by Lisette Scholl
For a meatier discourse on the subject:
Relearning to See by Thomas Quakenbush
(Quakenbush formally directed a natural vision institute in the San Francisco Bay Area.)
On a more philosphical note:
The Art of Seeing by Aldous Huxley.
Huxley, who wrote the classic Brave New World, used the Bates Method to restore his own failing eyesight.
