Perfect Sight Without Glasses (or The Cure of Imperfect Sight by Treatment Without Glasses which it says on the title page) was first published in 1920. The book was printed on Dr. Bates' own publishing company: Central Fixation Publishing Co.

The book contains Dr. Bates' findings after decades of research and experimental work into various eye disorders. Even though he expected to find some errors in the old theories and beliefs used for the past 150 years, he was amazed at his own discoveries and the effect they had for the treatment of defective vision.
