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 first opened his holistic eye practice in Asheville, North Carolina and then moved up to Montpelier, Vermont. He has been assisting others along their natural vision improvement journeys ever since!
- In 2014 he launched his YouTube Channel called Bates Method 101, which has amassed 40+ thousand followers and over 2.5+ 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.
