In the fifty-ninth episode of the Better Eyesight Podcast, Esther Joy van der Werf, Irena Castle, and Amelia Jurado Fernández read through the fifty-ninth Better Eyesight magazine that was originally published in May 1924 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.
