More than 16 years ago I was able to regain my own eyesight. For 26 years I wore glasses for near sight. My last grade was - 5.5 Diopters which means that I had clear vision only to about 20 cm from my face. In fact I needed two pairs of glasses one for reading and one to see at the distance. My optometrist was talking about bifocals, but I thought I was too young to wear bifocals.
I recovered my normal (20/20) vision by restoring energy to my eyes. At the time I did not know anything about Vision training, the Bates Method or any of the methodologies available for restoring eyesight. Like most people I simply assumed that vision would deteriorate as a consequence of getting older. It is a question of whether your hair or your eyes go first.
After regaining my own eyesight I did nothing for about 5 years. During that time I learned a lot about how the mind works. I became proficient in the filed of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, the study of excellence, hypnosis and other weird stuff.
In 1995 I attended a month
long su
mmer
course at the University of California, Santa Cruz. During that time my friends
asked me to tell them about how I got rid of my glasses. To my astonishment
about 60 people showed up. This was a real eye opener for me. Because I did
not realize that so many people have problems seeing well.
In fact more than 60% of the population in the western world wear lenses of one kind or another. In Asia it is even worse about 80% of the population is near sighted. To me these statistics are terrible something needs to be done about this.
Initially I believed that you needed to go back and uncover all the deep beliefs you have about what you can see and what you must not see etc. However, I am not by nature suited for therapy work. I get bored seeing the same person every Wednesday at 3 PM. I am interested in things that work fast. If I do not sense any improvement in 20 minutes or less - forget it. So everything I do works fast. I believe that most of you concur with that.
From 1996 onward I started presenting a two day workshop teaching people how they can regain their eyesight naturally. I present this workshop about 25 times in about 10 different countries all over the world. Check the web site www.vision-training.com
One evening in Cork, Ireland, a 14 year old boy was there with his dad. The boy had worn plus lenses for 8 year. So I said to him that the world record in improving ones eyesight was 15 minutes. If he wanted to he could break that record and I would talk about this all over the world. To everyone's astonishment he proved that he could comfortably read tiny 4 point print in less than 10 minutes. That incident set me thinking.
What would happen if we introduced Vision training when the problems was just detected?
At that time most of the people I saw had worn glasses for 10, 15, 20 or more years. So to discover what could be done I did a few test runs in Hong Kong with children of friends. They responded very quickly and the Magic eyes program was born. In the last few years Magic eyes workshops has been introduced in Germany, Austria, Mexico, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Philippines. We are now at a point where we want to train people to conduct the Magic eyes workshops in local communities and in native languages.
"I believe that it should be against the law to put lenses on children. Vision training is a superior methodology because it actually address the problem. It has scientific basis - it works.!"
