This is the first time I've heard about anything of the sort

Are you worried about the Bates Method?
Like, are you worried that this Bates Method might take away jobs for optometrists?

not really, i just found it interesting. seems interesting in that its a holistic method, correct me if im wrong? if an OD's or students know if there was any related scientific literature/studies (thats been peer-reviewed) on the Bates method. i couldnt find much.

Dont even waste your time with that bunk. While, as a developmental optometrist, I believe that there are certain visual conditions and disorders (tracking, focusing, exotropia, fusion dysfnx etc) that can be improved upon with traditional VISION THERAPY, this particular method is complete junk. You cannot change the very shape of your eye by doing any form of eye excercize.... lets be real here.
