 Fallacies of the Bates System
Bates told in his book how he struggled for four years to obtain a photograph of the lens image, while the eye was at rest and while it was accommodating.
Bates himself wrote that it was often "difficult or impossible" to obtain a clear image of a filament on the front surface of the lens [4].
Bates wrote that the evidence against the orthodox theory of accommodation in cases like these is "overwhelming." Apparently, he forgot that, only a few pages previously, he had stated that in "about nine cases out of ten," the effects of atropine agree with the orthodox theory of accommodation.

Bates had come to this conclusion after performing eye surgery on cataract patients and finding that some of them could still see distance without glasses even though he had removed the lens from their eyes; therefore, he determined that the lens did not play a role in refractive errors such as myopia.
Bates developed a series of eye exercises to retrain the optic muscles to solve this evolutionary glitch.
Bates believed that eye strain caused vision to deteriorate, and his treatment was simple: like any other muscles, the eye muscles need periods of rest and exercise in order to achieve optimal performance.
