OT: Vision Improvement Exercises

[Guest guest]

Anyone tried this program:

http://www.rebuildyourvision.com/

I had PRK a few years ago to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism,

but I was too young and my eyes continued to change. My eyes are

still MUCH better than they used to be, but I have to wear glasses to

see theatre, movies, drive, etc. Has anyone tried the program above

or any other program/book that has eye exercises? It's only $79 and

has a money back guarantee, but I'd love to hear thoughts on this

stuff.

I don't know about the site you posted, but there's a wonderful book out by

Quackenbush. Sorry I can't recall the title, but the author's name

should be sufficiently unusual to make a search easy. It helped me (myopia,

astigmatism), but then I got sidetracked into dietary issues, and I have yet

to get back to that program.

" Relearning to See " . That's a great book. From the looks of it,

Rebuild your Vision is based on the Bates method, as is most of the

other popular methods like See Clearly etc. After Dr. Bates

published his book, he wrote numerous articles discussing what he

learned since his book. Tom Quackenbush's book is a practical

discusstion of what Bates recommends in both his book and his later

articles. The vision programs based on Bates's earlier idea of

strengthing eye muscles works, but must be maintained. " Releaning

to See " , and Bates later work is really retraining your eyes/brain,

so once retrained, you don't have maintain what you gained. He

believes bad vision is largely bad unconscious habits that need to

be unlearned and good vision habits relearned.

I read about 5 books on the topic, and found Relearning to See to be

the best. I went from -4.00, -4.00 to -2.00, -2.00 in about 2

years. My origional perscription was -2.00, -1.75. There aren't

structured daily exercises, but habits to practice whenever

possible. I didn't do any exercises, but just tried to use the

vision techniques whenever I happened to think about it.

I don't think I could summarize it very well, but amazon

will let you search inside the book and look at the table of

contents.
