Looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it probably is a .... **Developer response:** Hello Hobywony, The wording you speak of is from the original text by Dr. Bate circa 1920, we tried to bring you as close to those tomes as possible. If you search Bate's book and others (google it) you will find the case studies they supplied to substantiate their claims. However, it you click on the app support link you will find that at the bottom of the page is our disclaimer. After you have tried the app we would hope you would reconsider your rating. Thank you for your interest, SniperSight--Editor ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Con job just like Dr Horatio *2019-06-22* App does nothing for you and by advocating the disproven pseudo method can harm eyes especially with all the sun gazing. The app is just articles and laid out in a manner that would be hard to follow even when If it contained useful information. The only truth might be that sleep affects eye sight. Get more or adequate sleep and your eyes may improve. Don’t stare directly at the sun. Ever. Wikipedia: The techniques advocated by Bates are based on fallacious assumptions about the eye and have no effect on improving eyesight; the only effect they can have is to delay the use of effective therapy, with possible adverse consequences.[1] As early as 1929 the Federal Trade Commission lodged a complaint against Bates' for advertising "falsely or misleadingly". ### 1/5 — Total garbage *2019-04-28, version 1.2* Anyone who spends more than a minute on this app is wasting their time. The recommended exercises are garbage - they make no sense and have no scientific validity. ### 1/5 — No Basis In Science *2019-04-19, version 1.2* Reply to Developer 4/18/19 Snipersight- Thanks for your response. 1. AVOID USING THIS APP FOR CHILDREN. There are several childhood visual problems that need the attention of an Ophthalmologist to avoid permanent harm. Also, the recommendation by Bates to restrict reading to school work only in all nearsighted children is just wrong on so many levels. 2. Snipersight, I’m glad we agree that glaucoma should be handled by an Ophthalmologist whether you are following the Bates Method or not. 3. As you note Lasik is a method of turning the cornea (clear “skin” over the pupil) into a kind of contact lens by reshaping it. As you also know this is not at all what the Bates Method is about. Bates believed that the focus of the eye was due to the eyeball changing shape rather than the lens of the eye adjusting the image. Hence all of his useless Shifting, Blinking, Central Fixation, etc. exercises. There is no evidence that Bates theory is true. Multiple studies have been done to try and verify the efficacy of his method without success. The only evidence of success of the Bates Method is his hand picked case studies. These are not the present day clinical trials which try to objectively determine the best treatment. Dr. Bates and his advocates hand picked cases to “prove” his method, conveniently leaving out the failures. 4. I know that Dr. Bates believed in staring at the sun or “Sunning”, but I was unable to find the exact method in your app. Anyway, DON’T STARE AT THE SUN! —————————- First review: Dr.Bates had a theory, back in the the late 1800’s, about how the eye worked by changing its shape. He was wrong and modern science has long since disproved his ideas. (Look up Bates Method in Wikipedia.) As an historical exploration of his methods this app is quit interesting, but don’t expect it to work to improve your eyes. It is even couched in pseudo scientific terms with very specific exercises. Fascinating! I see this app as mostly harmless except in the case of glaucoma, which it claims to cure! Glaucoma requires medication or surgery. If you have glaucoma DO NOT STOP YOUR MEDICATION in favor of this app. You will damage you eyesight and possibly go blind. -M.H., MD ### 1/5 — Worthless *2019-04-18, version 1.2* Don’t pay! This app is literally a compilation of outdated articles. ### 1/5 — Unscientific *2019-04-17, version 1.2* This app is unscientific and should not be taken seriously. There are no magical cures to the eye conditions this app promises to fix. ### 1/5 — Fraud *2019-04-17* This app should be removed immediately. The information quoted in this app is almost a century old and a lot of it has been proven wrong. If you believe you have an ocular health or vision issue, you should seek out the care of a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist. **Developer response:** Hello eye0c, Thank you for your interest. If you search Dr. Bate's book and others (google it) you will find the case studies they supplied to substantiate their claims. These techniques are circa 1920 and have been used by many (including myself) to improve their eye sight. No where have these exercises in this app been proven wrong, in fact they have been the subject and uses of other licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist. You should give them a try first and see if they work for you and hopefully they do, then please reconsider your rating. That would be fair. Again, thank you for your interest, --SniperSight ### 1/5 — Bogus *2019-04-17, version 1.2* Unscientific and potentially dangerous. Shouldn’t even be in the App Store. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2019-04-16* To anyone reading this, this app is false advertising. Vision impairment is caused by the shape of your eye. You aren’t going to change the shape of your eye by doing a few exercises everyday. Sure, there are “stretches” you can do to relieve eye strain, but these are not what this app gives you. Don’t waste your time. **Developer response:** Hello Ninjabudday, If you search Dr. Bate's book and others (google it) you will find the case studies they supplied to substantiate their claims. These techniques are circa 1920 and have been used by many (including myself) to improve their eye sight. You should give them a try first and see if they work for you and hopefully they do, then please reconsider your rating. That would be fair. Thank you for your interest, --SniperSight ### 1/5 — Where is the test card pdf? *2018-10-30* Just bought an app today and try to print a pdf copy of the Snellen test card from their website as was suggested. But thing is that the website doesn’t exist!:)) so I stuck to do vision exercises using only my iPad screen. Where is pdf? **Developer response:** Hi MBRTW, So sorry you could not find our support site and print a copy to the Snellen test card. Our site address is: www.snipersight.app If you scroll down the page you will see a big red button that says "Get Free full Size Eye Chart Here" You can also get to our site by clicking the "App Support" link at our page on the App Store. I just re-checked all the links and they are working. Again, sorry for your inconvenience, and thanks for getting in contact with us. If there is anything else let us know, we'er here for you. SniperSight ### 2/5 — Just a bunch of articles that I could get online *2019-04-16* I thought it would have exercises guided by the app. It doesn’t. It’s just a bunch of suggestions and then they actually refer your to the website for a chart to print out. A website for this information would be more appropriate than an app. **Developer response:** Hello Dysfunctional2, Thank you for your interest in SniperSight: Eye Exercises. Perhaps you did not see the button marked "Straight to Technique" which is where you will find the exercises for the condition you have selected. If you look at the screen shoots on our App Store page you will see an actual screens showing the "Straight to Technique" button and the opened exercises screen for a condition. For the best results with the app you do need to print out the Snellen eye chart, we feel that would be better then sticking your iPhone or iPad to a wall 20 feet away. We hope this will handle this situation for you and that you would consider updating your review and change your rating.
