Don't let the Doctor's review fool you, it works

If you're looking for a book with eye EXERCISES that was written by someone with curiosity who EXPERIMENTED and STUDIED at the same time to improve their vision, with advice that may help you, you've found it. I used to be in eye therapy at the Alderwood Vision Clinic in WA, I know these exercises work and I know that without daily exercises... your vision will tend towards what you mainly look at. I was nearsighted, then eventually didn't need glasses thanks to the vision therapy, then I played video games for 3 years as well as computer games and gradually got worse. The only exercise I miss from the book is "eccentric circles", I believe they have a version using squares. Looks kinda like [ []] [[] ] and you have to make them look like one square or 3 squares by focusing in, then focusing away. (using a window helps).I believe the internet lacks resources for vision therapy...One more tip: Take your most nearsighted eye, and with your finger, pull the skin on the outer side back. It will make your vision blurrier, but focus it right and you'll get 20/20 vision or better temporarily. Took me some time... the theory behind it is that I have a muscle there that got used to focusing in, so I focused it out. There's also the factor of making the eye round again because muscle strain made it oval-shaped. Either way, it deals with your muscles... (also, think about what squinting does... relate it to the above).Unfortunately you do have to work for better vision. Remember to rest your eyes every now and then. But, doctor$ do exi$t and if you'd like to give them your ca$h you can always believe their "expert" review$, which I'm sure are more ba$ed on your benefit than their profit. Be careful. And do what works for you.This book is an excellent start, and much cheaper than eye therapy. I do believe it will correct your vision a noticeable amount within a year if you keep at it... might fix it totally within 2.

A Good Start For Eyesight inprovement

This book, while not a "cure," certainly helps one to improve and take control of one's own eyesight. I disagree with the Ohio reviewer in that this book is a good way in which to control ones vision. I know two individuals who have lowered their persecriptions since using this book. Also, I was confused by why this "accountant" wished to examine the author. I found the book quite interesting and helpful.

EyeRobics gave me back my distance vision. Thank you!

I was skeptical that eye exercises and common-sense precautions against excessive eye strain could restore and now preservie my distance vision (I was myopic). Not anymore. In one year I improved my vision from 20/120 in my right eye and 20/100 in my left, to 20/40 in both eyes -- enough improvement to pass my driver's license eye examination. I'd been wearing glasses and contact lenses for 30 years! Now I carry a very weak pair of glasses (-.5 lenses) in my car just in case my eyes are particularly fatigued late at night. I have them on about once a month. My question: Why didn't anybody tell me that I could save my vision by avoiding excessive close-up strain (which, as it turns out, is easy to do) and by doing simple exercises? Shouldn't I have gotten that information from my opthamologist? If you're a myopic parent who doesn't want your children to also lose their eyesight, by all means get this book. Save your kids' vision and restore your own. Add eye fitness to your regimen of jogging and weight lifting and healthy dieting. You'll be amazed at the results.

Very readable practical guide to improving your vision

Here is an exceptional opportunity to take charge of your own vision fitness. Using the exercises recommended in "EyeRobics" I was able to pass my driver's license eye test within six months -- and I've been driving with glasses for over 25 years! I am absolutely thrilled by my results from using "EyeRobics." I had no idea that I could reverse my myopia by exercising and using basic, common sense approaches to vision restoration. This gets my highest possible recommendation. Just do it!
