Can You Rebuild Your Eyesight?

By Bill Coughlin

Here's the controversial question that gets asked a lot:

If natural vision training is so effective and has so many
endorsements, then why do most people get Lasik surgery or
corrective lenses instead?

And here's the answer…

In 1998, it was estimated that the U.S. optical industry was worth $30.2 billion (Vision Council of America, 1999).

This number included such items as exam fees and office visits, surgical fees, ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, retail eyewear sales, and retail sales for consumables such as contact lens solutions.

Now ask yourself this question:

If vision training were presented as a viable option to remedy eye disorders, would there be a need for consumers to spend thousands of dollars every year on the products and services that create profits for the eye-care industry?

I'm not suggesting that an annual eye examination for more complex eye disorders and diseases isn't needed-but if only a fraction of those who require corrective lenses would participate in vision training, it would mean a staggering loss in profits from the purchase of optical products and services.

In an article written by Dr. Mitchell Scheiman (Chief of the
Pediatric Binocular Vision Service of the Eye Institute at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry), he provides some interesting insights as to why most eye doctors don't provide services in natural vision therapy.

He found that

*Most eye doctors don't believe there's practice-building
potential [in natural vision therapy], especially with managed care.

*Because most eye doctors don't see vision therapy as being
profitable, they therefore do not offer it.

The fact of the matter is, there's BIG money in selling glasses and contacts-along with the eye exams and everything else that goes with them.

While natural vision improvement isn't nearly as profitable as surgery or corrective lenses, you, the consumer, can save hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars by safely and naturally rebuilding your vision through the use of tested eye exercises.

It is a shame, but you are right. Keep on educating folks

When problems with sight are related to incorrect use of the eye, poor lighting or poor posture it is quite reasonable for non-invasive or non-topical remedies to be utilised.

Unfortunately, many eye problems are created by physical problems within the eye or within the orbit of the eye. You have excluded diseases of the eye which cannot be corrected naturally so for those people for whom correction is more to do with general health and bodily efficiency, there is a good argument for using the optician as a port of last resort. Unfortunately, it is the optician who can identify physical defects in the eye so he cannot be cut out of the equation. Patients simply need to ask if their prescription is to help correct a physical problem and, if so, which.

If there is no physical cause, retraining is a very good way to go.

Emotional Freedom Technique (aka tapping) has had some success stories from people who have improved or corrected vision using subtle energy techniques. I believe many things are possible that we do not typically acknowledge.

Thanks Bill. I wear glasses. It's something I'm gonna chew over...

I have been lucky and have never had any problems with my eyes. My vision is not what it used to be and I am sure as I continue to get older that will continue to happen. I appreciate this information as I did not know about it previously and will look into it. I am always one to take a natural method over a drug or surgery. it seems its all part of big Pharmica and kee[ing us sick and thinking we needs drugs and surgery all he time to heal when there are so many other options out there. thanks

Thank you for sharing this information, Bill.
I wear triphocals, so would eye exercises still help at my age?
Best wishes.

Well, if printing weren't so small (I swear text just keeps shrinking), I wouldn't have to hold the book "just so" in order to see. It's a conspiracy, I tell you!

Really though - I'm having a look at your site right now. Great intel!

I expressed an interest in eye exercises to my eye doctor but he thought at age 45 it was too late. I'm looking forward to checking into your info. Thanks.

Great article, Bill, I appreciate you spreading info like this - since many are not even aware of the possibilities!

I see one other aspect to the health care in general, though. Going to the doctor (of any kind) and let someone else be in charge of our health (and blame them when things don't get better) - is unfortunately an easier way - and most people choose to take it. On the other hand, changing thoughts, habits, diets, life-styles etc. - requires some dedication - and responsibility...
