Improve Your Vision Without Glasses or Contact Lenses

... Actually, there are two catches: 1) You need the discipline to do the vision therapy (VT) exercises religiously every day, or at least a few times a week. 2) You need an optometrist who will agree to support you and give you progressively undercorrected lenses. (This, of course, takes some $, although optometrists who believe in this technique will probably work with you and offer discounts). I bought this book from an alternative health expo in my city last summer and played around with some of the exercises, but I knew that, although my myopia might stabilize, I wouldn't see any improvement unless I found an optometrist willing to give me undercorrected lenses. I finally found one (to my knowledge he's the only behavioral optometrist in my area), using the following site: http://www.babousa.org/doctors/default.asp I went to my first appointment with him five weeks ago, and he said that my eyes had not changed from my lenses at the time of -5.75 and -5.50 (I believe the exercises up to that point helped to stabilize me). He agreed to undercorrect me to -5.25 in both eyes, if anything to relieve nearpoint stress even if I didn't do VT, and I committed to doing the VT exercises out of this book on my own. I did the exercises for 15 to 30 minutes every evening, and noticed a dramatic improvement in the first two weeks, after which I stabilized. I know this because the book instructs you to measure your "blur zone," the point for myopes at which things become blurry, from the bridge of your nose every week to see your progress. I started out at 5-1/2 inches. After two weeks, I was at 6-3/4 inches - an improvement of 1-1/4 inches! My follow-up appointment wasn't for another three weeks after that, and during that time, I didn't see any further improvement in blur zone measurement, although I continued doing the exercises. This past Thursday, I went back to my optometrist, and he said that I was seeing 20-20 through my new lenses, and thought I might even be a little over-corrected now. It seems the reason I stopped improving after two weeks was that I had already reached the best I could with the lenses I had. He has undercorrected me again, this time more aggressively, to -4.5. I have a follow-up with him again in about a month. I don't know how far I can get with this, and I know that eventually I will reach a "plateau." However, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be able to continue improving over the long term if I stick with the exercises. Maybe it will be a year, maybe two, but I'm determined enough to continue doing them. Even if I stop improving, the exercises, as the book states, are just plain good for the health of your eyes, whether you intend to improve your vision or not. I highly recommend this book and its exercises to anyone who is interested and serious about improving their vision naturally. Here's one final tip: I think all of the exercises helped me immensely, but the single one that I could tell was working as I wa

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve eyesight. The book is straightforward with complete instructions on the eye exercises. It is true that everyone can improve one's eyesight by doing eye exercise. Although the method does work, it takes time. Don't expect a quick fix. You have to be patient and persistent. I think the book has exaggerated the speed of results. I believe, for someone who has low a prescription, they can improve to see perfectly in a short period of time because I saw a big improvement in my vision for the first 3 months after I did the exercise. However, it levels off. To reduce a high presciption like me, it is slow. In my case, I was -8.75. After exerersing for a year and half, my vision has been reduced to -7. I am still doing it beliving that I will one day, many years from now, do not have to wear contacts.By the way, don't buy the "See Clearly Method" program. It is exactly the same program described in this book but is packaged with additional video/tapes and fancy marketing for over ten times the cost of this book. Buy this book instead.

I bought this book a while back whilst still in london. This book is absolutley amazing. The information is accurate and concise. I was at -4.25 in each eye and went to -3.00 in a month, just by doing the excercises for 30 minutes daily! I know others with worse conditions who have done the excercises for 2 hours a day and improved dramatically (-6 to -2 in 6 weeks! ) Also once reading this information I actually had a discussion with my optometrist- He eventually admitted that it was possible using the information in this book that someone can fix their eyesight! BUY THIS BOOK BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, USE IT!

This book is very outspoken about the inadequate practices that's going on in the optometry industry. Eye doctors do not want people to know what you will learn in this book, for they fear that they will go out of business. Shortsighted thinking.I've already recommended this book to over 20 people among families and friends. One friend, after only 2 weeks of doing the exercises, noticed that he was able to read the fine print on the shampoo bottle while showering. Excited, he went to his eye doctor for a re-examination. The doctor said that there was a dramatic reduction of the myopic state of his eye. His new prescription was reduced by .75 in both eyes. The left was reduced from -3.00 to -2.25 and the right eye was reduced from -2.50 to -1.75.In my case, after 3 months of exercises, my objective myopic measurement reduced from -2.25 in the left eye to -1, and -2.00 in the right eye to -1. When I discovered vision therapy I was outraged, because I particularly asked my eye doctor on several occasions if there's anything that he can recommend that will prevent my eyes from getting worse, and he said "No". That is the same doctor I went back to for a re-examination because I wanted to confront him with the issue. He attempted to give me a referral to a behavioral optometrist, but I told him that I wanted him to examine my eyes to see the improvement I got by using the AVI Method, the Bates Method, and the Janet Goodrich Methods. While examining my eyes, he admitted that my vision had improved significantly to 20/70. It was about 20/400 progressing to 20/800.You'll never regret reading this book. If you use glasses or know ANYONE who uses glasses, please tell about this book. People should not have to pay to go blind or to be kept in ignorance. Doctors are here to help us get better nor worse. This book helps your vision get better. Finally, direct ALL of your friends and relatives to a behavioral optometrist. They are the ones who deserve to be paid, because they are trying to get you off glasses not hooked on it.This is not the end! When I get my vision back to 20/20 there's going to be a big noise in the land regarding the practice of optometry. I will help the doctors who wrote this book tell the whole world the truth about the practice of traditional optometrist and the alternative methods available

I had read many books on natural vision improvement and tried many things before I found this book. It gives easy instructions for simple techniques that actually improved my nearsightedness. If you've ever wondered why your vision got worse even when you followed the eye doctor's advice, this book is for you.I'd have preferred literature references or deeper theoretical explanations for some of the techniques, but I can understand that it was meant to be short and sweet. I wish I'd learned this when I was 10!
