Improve Your Eyesight covers an alternative method for eyesight correction called vision therapy. Accompanied by an eye chart and a video tape, Improve Your Eyesight is specifically intended for the non-specialist general reader seeking to use his or her eyes more efficiently and effectively for the simple purpose of seeing better.
James Bellevue, a non-physician, created this video after experiencing its positive effects of vision therapy for himself. He points out that almost all seeing is self-taught, and as with any other motor skill, can be trained and developed to an optimal peak of performance. Improvement can actually be great enough to make contact lenses and vision defect corrective eyeglasses unnecessary, as was the case for Bellevue. Through suggested skill building techniques, often dramatic improvements can be made for such conditions as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, decreasing vision associated with advancing age, and more. Improve Your Eyesight basically updates the classic "Bates Method" with applications drawn from the latest and most up to date optical research. According to the Journal of the American Optometric Association ". . . Vision Therapy is effective for patients of any age who have difficulty utilizing their vision system to process information. . . ."
Four complete vision therapy programs are provided, plus guidelines to customizing a program for the individual reader's needs. The text is enhanced with on-screen exercises provided by the accompanying video tape. Improve Your Eyesight is a welcome and uniquely original contribution to alternative health and medicine reference and resource materials.
