Show Notes

In the fiftieth episode of the Better Eyesight Podcast, Nathan Oxenfeld, Kevin Wooding, and Lizzie May read through the fiftieth Better Eyesight magazine that was originally published in August 1923 by Dr. William H. Bates, the pioneer of natural vision improvement.

Exactly 100 years later, these three natural vision educators breathe life back into the words of Dr. Bates, and also provide some modern commentary on the topics brought up in each article.
