Your Instructor
Nathan Oxenfeld founded Integral Eyesight Improvement LLC in 2013 after successfully improving his own vision using all natural methods. After depending on glasses and contacts every day for over a decade, he was introduced to the Bates Method of natural vision improvement. With time and practice, both his myopia and astigmatism decreased to the point of no longer needing glasses to see clearly. Once he saw the results in himself, he felt called to train to become a Certified Bates Method Teacher under his mentor Dr. Jerriann Taber, who has been teaching the Bates Method for over 45 years. Once certified, he opened his holistic eye practice in Asheville, North Carolina and began assisting others along their natural vision improvement journey.
- In 2014 he launched his YouTube Channel called Bates Method 101, which has amassed 30 thousand followers and over 1.5 million views.
- In 2015 he published his book Give Up Your Glasses For Good: Holistic Eye Care for the 21st Century and also launched The Naked Eye Podcast.
- In 2016 he created the Holistic Vision Program to help people beyond Asheville learn the Bates Method in the form of an online course.
- In 2017 he completed his first European Vision Tour and attended the International Holistic Vision Conference.
- In 2018 he released an updated edition of his book, and went on book tours across the United States.
- In 2019 he created his 6 Month Vision Improvement Program and started The Better Eyesight Podcast.
- In 2020 he released The Computer Eyes Program specifically for children who use screens for school, as well as the first documentary about natural vision educators called Vision 2020: From Eyesight To Insight.
Over the years he has spoken and taught nationally and internationally, has hosted multiple immersion-style vision retreats, and has joined the board of the Association of Vision Educators. Nathan has a deep passion for opening people's eyes to new possibilities with their vision.
