This article compares [[EndMyopia]] to other "vision improvement methods".

We're already dismissive of them when we even refer to them. It stems from the fact that vision improvement stuff is a crowded space, '''full of things that don't work'''. Things that don't address the [[causality]] behind why someone has myopia. People shoving paid stuff in your face soon after you visit the page for the first time.

We dislike it more than anyone, because this added noise distracts from actually fixing people's myopia. It just becomes a bunch of people trying to make money {{sad}}
==Bates method==
The [[Bates method]] is by far the most popular "vision improvement method". I guess we're already prejudiced, let's try that with more critical thinking instead of dismissing it out of hand?

How does the Bates method address the underlying biology in reversing the [[axial elongation]] of the eye? There are [[clinical studies]] that just as [[hyperopic defocus]] can increase axial length and therefore myopia, the [[myopic defocus]] used by EndMyopia can decrease axial length. The Bates method relies on eye exercises such as [[palming]], [[swinging]] and other things which don't appear to provide a known stimulus that reduces the length of the eyeball.

Most EndMyopians agree that [[William Bates]] was a great practitioner for his time, and came up with good insights. With that said, the Bates method as commonly taught by many [[Bates teachers]] is usually far removed from those original ideas. Bates' original writings were also made in a time before prevalant usage of screens which, when combined with glasses, causes a [[stimulus]] for [[lens-induced myopia]] to occur. The Bates method may be okay for relieving [[eye strain]], but it's largely ineffectual.
