Learn those 7 ways and you could be reading without glasses.

It’s That Simple!

Using the Magic Eye Chart couldn’t be easier. It’s quick to learn and just takes a few minutes each day to use.

Pretty much all you have to do is sit back and watch your close up vision get sharper as you reach for those reading glasses less and less.

From, Martin Sussman First, I’ll tell you about the almost hard-to-believe magic of the Read Without Glasses Method, and then I’ll tell you about the 100-year-old science behind it…

I couldn’t believe my eyes the first time I saw eye doctor Dr. Ray Gottlieb (the creator of the method) demonstrate it with a female patient. In virtually no time at all – just a couple of minutes, in fact – she was reading the tiniest print on the chart. Yet, before the session started she was telling Dr. Gottlieb how she thought she needed a stronger pair of reading glasses!

Needless to say, her attitude changed right along with her eyesight!

I was so impressed with what I saw that I worked with Dr. Gottlieb to streamline the method and make it available on DVD so that nearly anyone, anywhere, could use it – not just the patients in his office.

http://www.experts-at.com/Better-Vision/read-without-glasses-method.htm
Once we had it on DVD, I taught classes on The Read Without Glasses Method in the United Sates and Europe. And what I saw in those classes was just as amazing: More than 4 out of 5 students were able to improve their close up vision – regardless of how old they were, how strong their reading glasses were, or if they were just noticing a problem for the first time. For many, the changes stuck. Others had to continue practicing the method for a while after the class was over to get the permanent changes.

Everyone really enjoyed it, too – The Read Without Glasses Method is really fun and easy to do.

http://www.experts-at.com/Better-Vision/read-without-glasses-method.htm

But the real beauty of the method is that it produces great results – IN AS LITTLE AS SIX MINUTES A DAY!

The Secret’s In the Eye Chart

The secret to this amazing method is in the powerful eye charts Dr. Gottlieb developed.

These charts aren’t like any you’ve seen before: They don’t test your vision; instead, they improve your vision. You’ll be amazed when you discover that there’s different ways to look at the charts. Learn them and you could be reading without glasses!

Dr. Gottlieb gave this new chart to his 52-year-old patient and taught him a set of easy exercises to practice with it at home.

Two weeks later his patient returned with amazing results: Practicing just a few minutes daily, his near vision had improved from 20/200 to 20/40 and he could see clearly again without reading glasses.

So, Dr. Gottlieb began to give this new chart – the very same chart that you’ll receive with your Read Without Glasses Method – to other patients who wanted to challenge their aging eyes.

And, much more often than not, Dr. Gottlieb saw the same kind of results.

Can Your Eyes Do This?

In order to benefit from the method your brain and your eyes need work together. (Remember, the method is for improving close up vision only. If you want to improve distance vision or have medical eye problems, visit www.BetterVision.com.)

Let’s see if the method can work for you.

First, sit about 18 inches from your computer screen. Then, hold the thumb of your right hand 5-6 inches in front of your eyes, between you and the screen.

Now, as you focus directly on your thumb notice that – in the background – you see two images of the circle below.

Now, focus directly on the circle. Then you should see two images of your thumb in the foreground.

Most people easily get this illusion of double images – it’s perfectly normal. In fact, seeing this illusion is the only thing that is necessary for the Read Without Glasses Method to work for you.

If you can’t get the illusion of double images right away, just relax. Then try shifting your focus back and forth from your thumb to the circle 10 or 20 times. That may be all it takes. (If you still can’t get the illusion, you may have a pre-existing visual imbalance that needs to be addressed first. Email infor@bettervision.com for advice.

How It All Began . . .

About 25 years ago one of Dr. Gottlieb’s patients, a 52-year-old man, asked him if there was a way to avoid reading glasses. Dr. Gottlieb was just about ready to respond in the negative – as his extensive medical training had taught him.

Instead, he said, “Let me think about it.”

Dr. Gottlieb, who had been on the clinical faculty at the University of California-Berkeley Optometry School and a professor of optometry at the University of Houston College of Optometry, decided to investigate.

Confronted with his patient’s question, Dr. Gottlieb wondered anew: Does it have to be inevitable to lose close-up vision? Could it be possible to stave it off or even reverse it?

After considerable research, study and thought, Dr. Gottlieb revisited a well-known, professionally accepted principle of vision that every eye doctor learned in medical school.

Perhaps, he thought, this principle about how the eyes function could be applied to the problem of presbyopia.

The Science Behind The Method . . .

The focusing lens of the eye and the fine muscles that surround the eye stiffen with age and lose their natural, youthful flexibility to focus easily and clearly at near.

That’s how doctors explain the loss of near vision as we age.

But there is also another visual function that stimulates focusing at near.

It’s called Accommodative Convergence/Accommodation.

Let me explain:

In order to see up close, first we have to turn – or converge – both eyes inward so that together they aim – or point – at what we want to see.

“Turning our eyes inward stimulates the eyes’ ability to focus clearly at near,” Dr. Gottlieb says.

The fact that converging the eyes stimulates near focusing has been known for over 100 years. It’s a vision fact that’s taught in every medical school, without question.

What was never before examined – until Dr. Gottlieb began looking at the issue – was whether this visual mechanism could successfully be applied to presbyopia.

Dr. Gottlieb found that it can.

“I’ve seen my patients improve their near vision, avoid reading glasses, get free of reading glasses or need weaker ones,” says Dr. Gottlieb, who, for the last 20 years, has been Dean of the College of Syntonic Optometry.

Just about every other eye doctor will tell you that there is no remedy for presbyopia (the loss of near vision as we age) except surgery or corrective lenses.

But here’s what they don’t tell you…

There is absolutely NO scientific proof that near vision MUST deteriorate as a person ages! NONE.

Scientists studying aging eyes can report in great detail what those old eyes can’t do anymore. But Dr. Gottlieb was one of the first to ask what aging eyes could do.

See Clearly Again…

Your eyes respond to exercise and relaxation, like any other part of your body. In just a few minutes a day you can keep your eyes healthy, keep them young and keep them seeing as seeing up close as well as they possibly can.

No more hassles of getting – or forgetting – your glasses . . . No need to chain them around your neck or fish for them in your purse . . . or break them in your pocket . . .

Don’t take my word for it. I want you to see for yourself. The Read Without Glasses Method will show you how!

i GOT THIS IN MY EMAIL TODAY AND WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU,
Why did this song forget about your eyes…

The Thigh Bone’s Connected to the Hip Bone and the Hip Bone’s Connected to the Back Bone…
And They Forgot
About the Eyes!
Maybe you’re old enough to remember that campfire song, Dem Bones, each lyric of which connects one set of bones in the body to the next.

Well, they forgot about the eyes!

Every muscle group in the body affects another. Tension, stress, and mis-alignment in one group seeps into others, forcing different muscles to over-compensate.

Nowhere is this more evident than with astigmatism. One of the causes of astigmatism is the un-balanced pull on the eyes from the extra-ocular muscles – the muscles that move your eyes in different directions.

As eye doctor Dr. Richard Kavner says in his ground-breaking book, Total Vision, “if the posture is tilted the eyes will attempt to compensate, straining some muscles and relaxing others.”

Astigmatism – Another Vision Myth

It was once believed that astigmatism was inherited and fixed, but that’s turning out to be nothing more than another myth about vision.

Eye doctor, Dr. Samuel Berne, writes in his book, Creating Your Personal Vision, “Astigmatism can be due to a twisting of the spine, pelvis or neck. In terms of body posture, there is a tightness or restriction in the musculature.”

My Experience
I’ve lost count of how many people I’ve worked with who have gone back to their eye doctors – and their astigmatism is gone, changed or greatly reduced.

It doesn’t surprise me, but it certainly surprises their eye doctors!

Just as importantly, many people find that by working on their eyes they have found a doorway into re-balancing their entire body. When the eye muscles become more toned, flexible and balanced, the muscles in the head and neck feel the effect. And when the head and neck muscles become more toned, flexible and balanced, so do the shoulder muscles. And when the shoulder muscles…..

All the way through your body – down to your toes!

The benefits of working on your eyes filter through the rest of you – ALL of you!

That’s why I created The Easily Erase Astigmatism Program.

Current research confirms the benefits of the fish oil you’ll find in Ocu-Omega:

The National Eye Institute research found that patients with Macular Degeneration who consumed high amounts of Omega-3 were 25% less likely to progress to vision loss.

According to Tufts University, women who consumed fish rich in Omega-3 at least once a week had a 15% lower risk of cataracts.

According to Harvard Medical School, women with the highest levels of Omega-3 in their diets reduced their risk of dry eye syndrome by 20% to 68%.

The experts agree that getting the Omega-3 fatty acids will help you see better – and for longer.

If Omega-3 is so important, then why isn’t it included in the comprehensive EYEMAX-plus formula?

Because you can readily get it from your diet: all you need is two servings a week of cold-water fish (mackerel, herring, sardine, tuna or salmon [wild Alaskan salmon is preferred over Atlantic and farmed varieties]).

But if you’re not getting Omega-3 from your diet, then it’s vitally important to the health of your eyes that you supplement with the highest quality you can find.

So, if you can’t (or won’t) eat two servings of fish a week, then use Ocu-Omega to give your eyes what they need.

I just wanted to share this with you…. It’s kind of really cool.

When I Saw This Beatle… On Youtube,

Paul McCartney demonstrating a series of yoga eye stretches that he learned years ago when he visited India!
It’s straight-forward and clear, yet charming and quirky, in a slightly Beatle kind of way.

Those of you familiar with the Program for Better Vision do know that our eyes do stretch – There are over 24 different processes comprehensively organized into The Better Vision Program.

What is a behavioral optometrist?

A behavioral optometrist is a doctor who believes that how you see is the result of how you have learned to use your eyes and that visual skills – including how clearly you can see – can be enhanced through exercise, relaxation and training. He/she has received specialized training, can give you a comprehensive examination and can perform all the tests listed below.

Of course, a behavioral optometrist, like a regular optometrist, can prescribe glasses and contacts. But a behavioral optometrist would be more likely to comply with your request for an undercorrected prescription (a weaker pair of glasses or contacts that allows your eyes to benefit from a program of vision improvement).

In addition, a behavioral optometrist can provide a program of training that improves overall visual functioning.

Many behavioral optometrists support the work of the Cambridge Institute for Better Vision.

Why You should See a Behavioral Optometrist

Picture a visit to the optometrist or ophthalmologist and what do you think of? An eye chart on the wall on one side of the examining room and you in a chair on the opposite side trying to read the tiny letters on the bottom line, first with one eye then with the other.

And, if you can read the bottom line, your vision is perfect. If you can’t, you need glasses. Right?

Not necessarily!

Good vision is much more than just 20/20.

Even if you have 20/20 (with or without correction), there could still exist other deficiencies in the visual system that would go undetected during a simple test for visual acuity. And if these deficiencies continue to go unnoticed, they could eventually lead to problems with acuity. So a person could end up needing glasses (or stronger glasses) when the real causes of the problem are going uncorrected.

Problems in these other areas might cause some of the following symptoms: double vision, headaches, tiredness, poor depth perception, difficulty concentrating while reading, eye strain, burning, stinging, dry eyes and more.

Balanced visual functioning requires that the eyes move easily from point to point and work together as a team, that the brain can effectively use peripheral vision and that the brain can easily process visual information.

Using glasses that were prescribed after only a test for distance or near-point acuity could very likely lead to further visual stress. If there are other undetected visual problems that remain unaddressed, this could lead to prescriptions that get stronger and stronger, deteriorating vision and a general feeling of discomfort and fatigue. All of which could set the stage for even more serious eye problems to develop.

That’s why it is so important to get a complete and thorough examination from a doctor who understands the interconnectedness of all aspects of vision.

Here is a list of the vision checks and tests that a behavioral optometrist will most likely perform during the first visit:

• Measure distance vision with an eye chart.
• Determine how your eyes function at close range.
• Measure the teamwork between your eyes and your brain.
• See how smoothly your eyes move from point to point.
• See how smoothly and easily your eyes follow a moving target.
• See how easily each eye can shift focus from near to far.
• Screen for medical conditions like glaucoma and cataracts.

Pro Bowl is not the only sports using “eye exercises” to help improve tracking ability in it’s players.  And, outside of sports, it was also used for the pilots in WW11, for tracking and spotting their enemies in the air..

Did you see the Pro Bowl on NBC last Sunday? Were you quite impressed watching Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals put the NFC up 14-0 by scoring the first two touchdowns of the game?

Did you hear the announcer raving about Fitzgerald’s great ability to “track the ball in the air”?

Larry credits much of his success to the vision training that he did when he was a teenager.

http://www.experts-at.com/Better-Vision/For-You.htm

Sports vision training has been a well-kept secret, even though its been used for decades to improve athletic performance.

Whether you want to sharpen your sight, improve your peripheral awareness, judge depth and distance better, track moving objects with more precision, and much, much more, vision training can be the answer.

I’m glad to see that vision training has made it to the 2012 Pro Bowl!

I am a very proud affiliate of the Better Vision Program.  It is a program I deeply believe in and I share it with my readers because of my commitment to a healthier, better reader.  I myself am an active doer of natural eye improvement.  I have had great results.

I received the following email, and I would like to share it with you, word for word,  Regards, Ruth

Your Eyesight Is Precious, And, Your body knows it:

** 90% of what we learn about the world comes to us through our eyes.

** 1/4 of all the nutrition we take in goes to feed our visual system.

** 1/3 of the oxygen we take in goes to our visual system.

** The eyes have a higher concentration of vitamin C, zinc and lutein than almost any other part of the body.

The Miracle of Sight, You know it:

** For centuries, the eyes have been called the windows to the soul.

** When you want to connect to another person, you look in their eyes (not their ears or nose!).

** On the darker side, polls reveal that more people fear blindness than getting cancer.

** The eye is capable of seeing the light of a candle 16 miles away, under ideal conditions.

The Joy of Seeing

What can be more moving and inspiring than, for example:

** Seeing a beautiful sunset or rainbow in the sky.

** Seeing the loving eyes of a child, spouse, friend.

** Looking out at the world with wonder and awe for what you see.

** Letting yourself be looked at with eyes of love, acceptance, admiration or respect.

The Holidays that are celebrated around this time of year are about light, whatever their particular tradition.

Without light, there is no sight.

I wish you the clearest, sharpest and healthiest vision that you can possibly have, on every level!

All the best in sight,
