:: How Vision Exercises
Gave Me Better Eye Sight ::

Eye exercises WORK. We have the evidence. Now here's the story of how I achieved better vision naturally.

My name is Rebecca Turner. I made this website after having amazing success with eye exercises. Let me explain...

When I was 10 years old I was diagnosed as being nearsighted. I was horrified. I was already painfully self-conscious - and now I had to wear glasses too. The alternative meant having blurry vision and headaches from the eye strain.

As a teenager, I learnt to live with my glasses. I wore them all the time - they were my crutch. Little did I know that wearing my glasses only treated the symptoms of poor vision; they did nothing to improve vision naturally at the root cause. Even worse - they made my eyes lazy.

You better believe it. It's scientifically proven that wearing corrective minus lenses actually makes your natural eyesight worse...

The Problem with Corrective Lenses

When you look into the long distance, the muscles in your eyes to pull tighter. And when you look at things up close, the eye muscles relax.

But when you wear glasses or contact lenses all the time, your eyes simply relax - permanently. Your eye muscles don't have to work anymore.

It's therefore no surprise that when nearsighted people try to look into the distance without glasses, their eyes have terrible problems focusing.

They are simply out of practice.

This is scientifically proven. It's even more tragic in kids and teens, because their eyes are still developing. And yet my optometrist never told me that the more I wore my glasses, the worse my vision would become.

What else are they not telling us?

For a start, I discovered that wearing my glasses for near point work was also a big mistake. I was a bookworm, and all that reading with my nearsighted glasses on forced my eyes to adjust to even more unnecessary near point stress.

Then I learnt that many optometrists over-prescribe, especially in the case of myopia. In doing this, they are not even giving your eyes a fighting chance!

How I Discovered Eye Exercises

Let's skip forward to 2008. Even though my eyes had officially stopped maturing at age 20, my vision was still getting worse every year (and now we know why...)

As I turned 25 years old, I needed corrective lenses of -3.00 diopters (technically considered "moderate myopia"). That translates to about 20/150 vision. So I had the same visual acuity at 20 feet, as other people had at 150 feet. That's a huge natural disadvantage.

I also had astigmatism - a common condition where your cornea becomes shaped like a rugby ball because of the stress of being nearsighted.

I was wearing my glasses constantly - I couldn't live without them. Imagine the damage that corrective lenses did to my eyes, day in, day out, for all those years. No wonder my vision never got any better!

An Introduction to Eye Exercises

So I was pretty excited when I discovered eye exercises to improve vision naturally. I found that tens of thousands of people had already cured their condition and safely restored their vision to 20/20 acuity - or better!

I learned that eye exercises are completely safe and unintrusive - a far cry from surgical intervention. So what's the science behind vision training?

Vision exercises were developed by English eye doctors in the early 20th century. A new field of study emerged, known as Orthoptics, and is now used around the world to help patients with eye muscle problems to have better vision naturally.

Vision therapy uses many different eye exercises to improve vision naturally, by increasing your ability to focus on near and far objects. I found various programs to buy online - including Orlin Sorensen's popular Rebuild Your Vision.

It was the breakthrough I had been looking for...

Why You Haven't Heard of Eye Exercises

I still didn't know anybody who had better vision because of eye exercises. I wanted to know - if they worked so well - why didn't everyone do them?

Then I discovered the sickening truth: eye care is a lucrative industry. Around one third of all Americans have poor vision - that is a lot of paying customers. Optometrists and medical centers make over $30 billion in sales of designer frames, hi-tech lenses, contact lenses, and laser eye surgery every year.

Imagine if even half of these paying customers decided to improve vision naturally... Simply put, there is very little profit in selling eye exercises on a one-time basis. So corporate America doesn't go there.

Instead, a few individual doctors and research institutions have created eye exercises as a means to genuinely help people develop better vision naturally. The reason you probably haven't heard of them before is because they can't compete with the major profit-driven optometrists and laser surgery clinics.

But eye exercises are out there, yielding the biggest secret of natural eye care...
