Hello Im quite new to the Bates method I started about 2 weeks ago. Im 14 years old and I hate wearing my glasses(-2.25 left and -2.5 right) I got 2 years ago and rarely wear them. I am determined to have perfect eyesight and will continue doing the Bates method until I have perfect vision no matter how long it takes.
That's the spirit!
Just continue using your eyes well (relaxed), and practicing the Bates method techniques whenever you get moments, and you'll do just great.

Good, you were very wise to avoid wearing them. I would suggest
that you check your Snellen -- see "Site Suggestions" for that
Snellen.
Your visual acuity (from your prescription) is about 20/100. When
Bates works correctly for you, you should be able
to confirm the fact that your vision clears to pass
the DMV level legal requirement. That is REAL success.

Good! But during the process of clearing your Snellen, you
will find that it takes time. First to get to 20/60, then
to 20/50, 20/40, 20/30 and then 20/20!
The final goal is that you have good distant vision and
can function with no minus lens on your face.
One thing i forgot to mention. my current glasses I have I got in late august this year and not 2 years ago I have an older pair and I got those two years ago. Whenever I need glasses(which isnt very much) I wear my older pair that gives me about 20/30 vision (I dont know the prescription exactly I think its about -1 something) because I think my current pair is too strong compared to my acuity and they are uncomfortable. I have a snellen chart and my vision acuity is about 20/60-20/40, most of the time around 20/50.
my acuity definitely isnt 20/100 as you say so that proves my current glasses were wrongly prescribed too strong.(Or maybe my eyesight has improved since then!)
