Janet Goodrich

While we are on the subject of Bates teachers I’d like to introduce to you one more Bates teacher: Janet Goodrich. her book is called Natural Vision Improvement. It is much shorter and her style is lighter and easier to read than Quackenbush’s but her work suffers from the same two flaws mentioned above: she likes sketching (again, nothing wrong with it but remember that it is not Bates) and too much psychological mish-mash. However, her book is full of cartoons, tips and techniques, especially for vision defects other than myopia.

On the side: Myopia, in my opinion, is the most difficult anomaly of refraction to get rid of, if you can do that… well, you are the one.

There is no ground breaking information there. But overall, it is a good book and I recommend it.
