In the fifty-third episode of the Better Eyesight Podcast, Esther Joy van der Werf, Margaret Montgomery, and Ree Coleman read through the fifty-third Better Eyesight magazine that was originally published in November 1923 by Dr. William H. Bates, the pioneer of natural vision improvement.

Exactly 100 years later, these three natural vision educators breathe life back into the words of Dr. Bates, and also provide some modern commentary on the topics brought up in each article.
