My Eye Exercises - How Vision Exercises
Gave Me Better Eye Sight

Hi, Rebecca here. I'm the creator of this free website and it's my goal to help you achieve natural 20/20 vision without glasses.

Before I tell my story I must clear something up. This website makes some impressive claims and so people are naturally cynical; I hope this helps ease your concerns.

1. I am a real person. I had moderate myopia and astigmatism for 15 years (since I was a child). In 2008 I did eye exercises to improve my vision naturally. Some people have trouble believing eye exercises are real so they think I must be either fictional - or lying! Look me up on the net (Rebecca Turner - I'm a writer and run several content-based websites.)
   
   
2. This is not a scam. The fact that you have only ever known eye doctors who prescribe glasses, contact lenses or laser eye surgery, does not mean that they are your only options! Eye exercises are an alternative treatment that have helped tens of thousands of people to improve their vision naturally. I am one of them; you will find more testimonials here. I do my best to explain the principles, the science, and the real life results of vision training on this website. I do not make or sell eye exercise programs myself, but I do recommend the program that worked best for me. It's entirely your choice what you buy or do to improve your eyesight.

Without further ado... this is my story.

How I Became Nearsighted

When I was 10 years old, I went for a routine eye test and was diagnosed as being nearsighted. I was completely and utterly horrified. Not only was I already painfully self-conscious at school - now I had to wear big goofy glasses too. After that, my eyesight deteriorated, year after year. Wearing glasses put a big dent in my self image, and to top it off, they actually made my eyesight worse.

I didn't know at the time but wearing glasses only treated my symptoms of nearsightedness - they did nothing to improve vision naturally at the root cause. Even worse - they made my eyes lazy. And by my teens I wore them every minute of every waking hour. Imagine how much harm they did my eyes.

I'm not just making wild assumptions to scare you. Scientific evidence shows that wearing corrective lenses makes your eyesight worse:

The Problem with Corrective Lenses

First suggested by the pioneer of vision training, Dr William H Bates, MD, prescription lenses serve to overpower and overstress the visual system. This produces the all-too-common trend that once you are prescribed with glasses, your vision will only ever deteriorate over time.

It's even more tragic in kids and teenagers, 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 get worse. 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 learned 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. Now we know why.

As I turned 25, I needed corrective lenses of -3.25 / -3.00 diopters (technically considered "moderate myopia") which translates to about 20/150 vision. So I had the same visual acuity at 20 feet, as healthy people had at 150 feet.

I also had astigmatism - a common condition where your cornea becomes shaped like an oval 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.

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

I also learned that eye exercises are completely safe and unintrusive - a far cry from inherently risky LASIK. 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 eye exercises programs online and began testing them to improve my vision...
