New Research Proves That Bad Vision Is Not Genetic

I’ll never forget the day my optometrist told me, “You’ll never have perfect vision. Bad vision is genetically preprogrammed and there is nothing you can do about it.”

Rebuild your vision – naturally

I tried to find the optometrist who told me that many years ago and shattered my dream of flying fighter jets in the U.S. Navy, but I never was able to locate him.

I wanted to show him 3 things:

*My test results from the U.S. Navy that said “Left eye = 20/30, right eye 20/20,” after just one month of using the Vision for Life program.

*My FAA medical examination that said “Overall vision = 20/20:
No restrictions required.”

*The letter I received from the U.S. Navy that said “Pilot Candidate: ACCEPTED.”

After the amazing results I achieved with the Rebuild Your Vision program, I searched for an explanation. In my research, I came across the following:

There was a controlled study conducted on a group of Inuit families in Barrow, Alaska, years ago by a very respected group of eye doctors. It evaluated the relation between genetics and the environment in bad vision.

It was an ideal setting in that parents and grandparents had little or no formal education, while children regularly attended public school.

The study results showed that the uneducated parents and grandparents had little or no form of myopia (nearsightedness), while nearly 58% of the children attending school were diagnosed
as myopic.

A genetic malfunction increase of 58% over one generation would be impossible! The researchers came to the conclusion that the stress put upon the eyes while performing continuous near-point
work in the classroom was causing myopia among the children. (Young et al. 1969. American Journal of Optometry and Archives of American Academy of Optometry)

So what causes nearsightedness if it’s not genetic? Science has also answered this question.

It’s a condition called near-point stress. Near-point stress is what your eyes experience when you focus on anything close to you: computers, books, television, etc. Focusing up close is
not natural to your eyes. Your eyes are in a relaxed state when they are looking at a distance and focusing up close puts a stress on them.

The American Optometric Association identifies near-point stress as being one of the leading causes of nearsightedness and its progression.

I find this amazing, considering many doctors, like mine, will still tell you that nearsightedness is solely a genetic condition!

It just doesn’t add up.

*How have thousands of people improved their vision naturally if bad vision is a genetic problem?

*Why is near-point stress defined as a leading cause of nearsightedness if nearsightedness is a genetic condition?

The fact is, the data is in, and times and beliefs are changing. There are many eye doctors that now support eye exercises and their role in natural vision improvement.

You can learn these eye exercises and vision improvement techniques in the Rebuild Your Vision program. It’s all you need to begin reversing the damage that has been done to your eyes.

Whether you’re nearsighted, have an astigmatism, or have “aging eyes,” there is a customized program specifically for your condition included in the Rebuild Your Vision program.

More and more people every day are choosing the Rebuild Your Vision program as their method of vision improvement.

“I wanted to write and tell you how thrilled I am with your program. I can’t help telling everyone I meet. After being told that I am not a good candidate for Lasik, I searched for another option. I skeptically ordered the Rebuild Your Vision program and am now full of praise. After just 5 days of doing the exercises for 25 minutes each day, I could no longer see through my glasses.

A trip to the eye doctor confirmed what I already knew: the optometrist said that I had gone from myopia (nearsightedness) level 8 in my left eye and 5 in the right to 5 and 2, respectively. That’s a HUGE I MPROVEMENT! Half of my previous prescriptions!

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

http://www.your-vision-care.com

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?

http://www.your-vision-care.com

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.

http://www.your-vision-care.com

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.

http://www.your-vision-care.com

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.

And I feel good about offering it.

It initially takes some time to master each of the 3 Levels, but
as you progress through the Rebuild Your Vision program you’ll find
they become much easier.

To help you get motivated, let me share a story we received a few
months back from John Bershak in Pennsylvania .
http://www.your-vision-care.com

John wrote:

“I’ve worn glasses for forty years. My last prescription was
20/170 in my left eye and 20/220 in my right eye. I was on the
verge of needing bifocals. After four-and-a-half months of using
the Rebuild Your Vision program, I can now see 20/30 (near perfect)
in both eyes. The greatest improvement, to about 20/40, occurred
in the first month, but real clarity occurred more gradually.
I found the Three Cups Exercise to be extremely powerful.

Improvements in visual clarity seemed to be preceded by
improvements in this exercise. Now I’m looking forward to my
first pair of non-prescription sunglasses!” –John Bershak, Morrisville , PA

John’s is only one of numerous stories we have gotten from folks
across the globe — all of whom have achieved profound results
using the exercises in the Rebuild Your Vision program. But I know
your time is precious, so let’s begin.
If you haven’t already, you’ll find the instructions for
Level 1 of the Three Cups Exercise on our website at

3 Cup Exercise

You’ll also need a comfortable chair and a quiet room in which to sit.

Maintaining good vision is very important, as much as 80% of the information you obtain from the world around you is received through your eyesight! The history of natural eye correction dates back to Dr. William Bated who was born in 1860 and died in 1931. He was a distinguished eye surgeon who was not happy with the fact that glasses were used as a standard for curing visual impairment.

Over the millennia our eyes have changed in keeping with the way we live our lives. Hunter, gatherers of the past used their eyes for both long distance and close examination at all times, for example looking into the distance in search of food or enemies, and in the next breath closely examining a berry filled bush. This kept the eye muscles agile which in turn allows for keen vision.

Times changed, particularly with the industrial revolution, and today people spend many hours immobile with their eyes fixed on a specific task. The eye muscles no longer receive the type of exercise they require to keep agile and many unnecessary eye problems occur.

Dr. Bates spent many years researching vision, he concluded that strain in the eyes was caused by mental strain or stress and poor lifestyle. This led to ocular dysfunction such as double vision, blurriness, sensitivity to light and other problems. He also spent time studying people with perfect sight and noted that the function of the eyes was different.

The outcome of his studies led him to treat his patients by teaching them to relax and also vision training. The outcome of this was that the visual brain and eyes were often restored to maximum potential.

His techniques have spread and are still used world-wide, many people have improved and regularly perfected their vision by means of his methods. He wrote a book for this purpose called “better eyesight without Glasses” which is published by Grafton Press.

Maybe natural vision improvement can help to improve the health of the eye. It is a holistic approach which includes simple exercises and habits which are key to maintaining and improving good eyesight. The majority of your vision occurs in the brain, these exercises help the brain to make more meaning of the visual world.

Rebuild Your Vision – Naturally

Natural vision therapy is still not as popular as the mainstream approach, but it is becoming a little more commonplace. Most optometrists and ophthalmologists rely solely on glasses, contact lenses and corrective surgery, rather than taking a more holistic approach.

The things that affect your eyesight are the same as those that affect the rest of your body. Your body needs nourishment, water, regular movement and rest. Your eyes need those same things.

Rebuild Your Vision – Naturally

If you aren’t drinking enough water, your eyes will become dry and your sight will deteriorate. Regular use of electronic equipment, such as computer screens and similar devices, increases the likelihood that your eyes will become dehydrated. Constant computer use requires constant replenishment of the body’s fluids. Drinking plain water is the best way to rehydrate.

Most holistic approaches to natural vision therapy include the use of dietary supplements. Regardless of how healthy you may feel that your current diet is, supplementation can be highly beneficial. Some of the essential nutrients for eye health include the common antioxidant vitamins A, C and E.

Other nutrients are less common, rarely found in the typical Western diet. They include lutein and zeaxanthin, which help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration; glutathione, which helps prevent glaucoma and diseases of the retina; and gingko biloba, which increases blood flow to the retina and improves visual acuity.

People notice that when they start increasing water and nutrient intake, they begin to feel better, in general. That is one of the goals of holistic medicine, to treat the body as a whole and improve the condition of the entire body. So, you can think of natural vision therapy as a way to improve your overall health.

Regular movement of the eyes is something that many people never think about. Even people that spend lots of time working out or playing sports are often unaware of how little they actually move their eyes. They don’t pay attention to what they are seeing. Sight is not a passive activity.

When you go out for a walk, look at the leaves on the trees, the birds in the air, the passing cars or anything else that interests you. Focus on these things. Pick up a stone and look at the details in it. Then look at something far away. Natural vision therapy includes a number of different activities that exercise the eyes. You may be surprised at the difference it makes.

Eye Exercises that Work – The modern Rebuild Your Vision Program The Keys to Improving Your Eyesight
Try this Natural Program at Home!

From the magazine of the fore father of eye exercises: Dr Bates:

Just what, in simple words, is Central Fixation? If you will read this story of a ten-year-old girl who discovered it for herself you will know, not in terms of theory or in scientific phrases, but in practical simplicity.

SOME years ago a young girl, aged 10, was brought to me for the cure of imperfect sight and squint. She was wearing quite strong glasses for relief.

The right or squinting eye, even with her strong glasses, had very poor vision. The best she could see with this eye with or without glasses was counting fingers at about three feet. Looking straight ahead of her with this squinting eye, with the other eye covered, everything was visible and, she said, perfectly dark, and what she did see at any time with this eye was off to one side. She was unable to read with this eye with or without her glasses.

With her left eye her vision was improved by glasses so that she had about one-quarter of normal vision and could read large print with more or less difficulty for short periods of time. She usually had a headache every day and at times great pain in one or both eyes.

Reading or studying her lessons was a punishment. Unlike other children she had no pleasure in reading story books. The trouble with her eyes interferred with her play. She spent most of her time sitting alone with no desire to talk and kept her eyes closed a good deal of the time. Without her glasses she could not read at all ordinary print.

The case to me was very interesting because of the results obtained in a short time, three weeks. When the mother asked me how long it would take, I believed and told her that if the girl got any improvement in three months she would be very fortunate. In fact she was practically cured in a week but I was so fearful of a relapse I had her come a few weeks longer to be sure she retained what she had gained.
