by William H. Bates, M. D. The Bates Method is a method to restore eyesight naturally-without the use of glasses, contact lenses, surgery or drugs.

These articles were published in various medical journals of the day, and covers several of Dr. Bates' important discoveries.

I would like to make this list as complete as possible. Any contributions—whether it is any missing article—or just information about any missing article, or further information about one of the articles already listed—would be most welcome.
