Improve Your Vision Without Glasses or Contact Lenses

Personally, even though now 69 years old, my eyes are fine and I don’t use glasses for anything, neither in front of a PC screen or when driving a car. But since last year on the PC reading an interview with a 75-year person, who by training had stopped using glasses, which he had started on when he was 55, then when I in Amazon by an accident fall over this book, I immediately ordered one, and then received it 2 days ago.As mentioned, personally I have no eye problem, but as we know, it’s better to prepare, that is continuing being healthy, than allowing problems to start, I therefore bought the book. Besides my wife now 2 times this year, without my knowing, has visit 2 ophthalmologists, and daily complains about her eyes, and in the darkness don’t like to drive car. But of course my Thai women only trust doctors, which has resulted in many failures during time, and therefore doesn’t want to hear what I tell her from the book.The content in the book is very interesting, both concerning the historical knowledge from back to 2,000 years ago, the science explaining about the eyes working, and possible problems, and the training of the eyes (in connected to 11 helpful drawings).Historically it’s especially was funny on the sides 26-27 to read about how Professor Young in 1968 stunned the eye care profession after then leading a research team to Alaska for studying the Eskimos. Until then it among other was thought that the myopia (nearsightedness), was caused genetically, so that the eye functions for parent and children nearly should be identical. But it now showed up that the Eskimo parent eyes had long distance sharpness (0,25D) while it for the children was for a shorter distance (1.50D). The reason was that the children was going in school and thereby using eyes for reading and writing, while the parents newer had been in school, and therefore mostly using their eyes outside for hunting.And as we see in the book much of the eye training actually training of the eye muscles, which can be put in during our daily living and mostly without interrupting anything. For example, when sitting and working by a PC screen, then sometimes looking away from the PC screen to a small object 15 feet or longer away, in 2 seconds sharpen the eyes on the object there seen, then back to something closer than the screen, I use a shirt button, sharpen on this point for 2 seconds. And repeating doing this a couple of times, and repeating this during the day. Easy and helpful training for the eyes muscles.But especially, in the book we again and again are told that we shall try to use the actual glasses as little as possibly, no matter how long we have used glasses, because by doing so we then again wake up the eye muscles by putting then on work. Because if we only use glasses then the eye muscles will “retire” more and more, with the result that after some years we will need the next number in glasses.I now have started with some training for my eyes, to see if I can get back the very little different in sharpness on the longest distance, as it previously had. And among other doing this when I by morning training is sitting on the bicycle, and have points close and long away to look.A book with important contents, and I tell about to my friends. Nearly all of the, of course, using glasses.

I would have been skeptical of this book if I didn't know someone who completely improved his vision and doesn't need glasses anymore. He didn't use this book, but this was the book I stumbled upon so I got it.However, I have done much more research beyond this book, and I have important notes that I'd like you to know.1. It bothered me that they tell you to do some pretty weird exercises (like light therapy) without telling you WHY. If I'm going to sit 6 inches in front of a lamp with my eyes closed for 'light therapy,' I want to know WHY. Another eye book that I got by Nathan Oxenfeld is much more thorough and explains why these things are important. I recommend his book Give Up Your Glasses for Good before I'd recommend this book.2. This book is the cliff notes version of the Bates method. The Bates method, however, costs some $160 - so I will gladly take a book with exercises and no explanation over an expensive book that I don't want to buy. Nathan Oxenfeld's book is based on the Bate's method - and his book is only $30 - and I found it well worth the price and much more robust in detail and number of exercises to try.3. That being said, this book is still great for the price you pay. It's simple with solid exercises. They give you a foundation of 7 exercises plus 16 'booster' exercises. If you don't need explanation behind the weird things they tell you to do, then get this book.4. DO NOT DO THESE EXERCISES EVERYDAY AT FIRST!!! Do you ever workout the same muscle group at the gym 7 days a week? Heck no! But I didn't connect those dots and I suffered from eye strain and eye fatigue for about 1.5 weeks since starting the exercises. It has since gone away, but I would have liked to avoid that.5. YOUR EYE MUSCLES DO NOT HAVE NERVES. Meaning, if you overwork those muscles, you won't feel pain (unlike the pain you feel when you go 'too hard' at the gym). So again - be careful!!! I was doing these exercises for 15 mins a day (which is half of the 30 mins the book recommends) and I suffered from some serious eye fatigue because of it.Don't do what I did. Take at least one day off a week.6. DO NOT SKIP THE LIGHT THERAPY OR PALMING. They are considered 'booster' exercises - not main exercises - but you will see the majority of your vision improvement from these 2 exercises alone. Just trust me on this, or read Nathan's book to learn why.**UPDATE 5 WEEKS LATER:My vision has improved by 0.5 diopters in each eye! (That's 0.1 diopter a week...) I credit my success to discipline (doing these exercises 6x a week without fail) and the other eye book that I previously mentioned by Nathan Oxenfeld.Some other things that I've learned is that whenever you introduce a new exercise into your regimen, you will feel discomfort. I got lucky and have an open-minded optometrist who, after being impressed by my eye exam (my eye fusion was so strong he told me I almost broke the machine!), told me to incorporate more peripheral exercises. This makes sense since fusion is only exercising our focus right in front of our face, but what about the sides? He compared it to working out your biceps without working out your triceps. THIS IS IMPORTANT.I will update this again next time I see the optometrist (in another 5 weeks). My goal is perfect eyesight by the end of the year.Also, I read more of the other reviews and I do NOT suggest skipping the clock rotation or eye roll exercises. They were simply experiencing the normal discomfort that occurs when you FIRST start an exercise that your eyes really aren't used to. Instead of skipping it, just start slow. Clock rotations are very important for vision improvement.
