Summary: In control of my own vision now
Review: When I was in sixth grade, I realized I could not read the blackboard from the back of the classroom. Since then I have struggled with glasses and contacts. I felt frustrated that my vision was to deteriorate and their was nothing I could do about it. I was told to accept my fate and deal with the necessity of glasses and contacts. Now as an alternative there is laser surgery. As with any surgery, it is permanent, irreversable and their are real risks. I was offered no education or guidelines by my doctors on how I can take active steps to improve my vision.My whole outlook on my vision has changed since reading "The Program for Better Vision" by Martin Sussman. It is for those who have felt helpless or uneducated to do anything for their own visual heath. It teaches you how to take positive steps to imporove your own vision naturally and safely in a clear, easy to follow program. I learned a great deal from Martin Sussman's book. For instance vision is not just mechanical function of the eyes. Vision is a trinity of physical eysight, emotional seeing and inner vision. The program is designed to improve your vision on all three levels. Many of my misconceptions about vision were proved wrong such as poor vision is inherited,
vision inevitably deteriorates with age, poor vision is caused by certain visual activities, and weak eye muscles cause poor vision. There are detailed chapters on how the eyes work, how posture effects vision, the role of nutrition, the mind, and emotions on vision. The program begins with an 8-week period. Each day consists of about twenty minutes of practice for the visual system ranging from self massage, vision exercises, to visualization. The exercises are simple and explainded clearly. I now have a whole new outlook on my vision. I feel the health of my vision is in my own hands. I feel empowered to take positive steps in my life to improve my vision with out glasses, contacts or surgery.
