In 1932 Hauser published a book promoting the Bates method of eye exercises as a substitute for corrective glasses (listed in his bibliography as Keener Vision Without Glasses, 1932, and revisited in Better Eyes Without Glasses, 1944). Martin Gardner’s 1957 skeptical survey singles out Hauser’s 1932 volume as “the all-time low” among books promoting the Bates system. The Bates method’s claim that eye exercises correct refractive errors such as myopia is refuted: a 2018 controlled study directly testing Bates eye-exercise therapy against myopic refractive error found no significant improvement in refractive error or visual acuity from Bates exercises, and concluded that eye exercises and Trataka Yoga Kriya were not significant treatments for myopia (Tiwari et al. 2018). The claim is recorded here as refuted testimonial, the archive’s clearest example in the Hauser bundle of a claim resting on anecdote rather than any measured mechanism or outcome.
