Leo Angart developed the Magic eyes program in response to the enormous need for simple and effective ways of dealing with the typical childhood vision problems. The outcome of Vision training is to completely restore the natural ability to see clearly and use the eyes fully.

The Magic eyes program consists of a series of fun games and exercises that are designed to develop and restore normal visual function in children. We have chosen the workshop format because we have found that this enables us to reach a large group of people and thus help as many children as possible. The more time consuming and more expensive therapy model is more suitable for difficult to treat problems. However, the waste majority of childhood vision problems can practiced safely at home.

The first Magic eyes workshop focus on discovering what the vision status is. The very first activity involve checking distance visual acuity with an eye chart and then draw a maze reflecting where a child start and will subsequently monitor the progress.

Parents and children will learn simple ways of relaxing the eyes. A lost of vision problems have their root in eyestrain so it is very important to have ways of getting the energy to flow in the eyes and brain.

All children enjoy drawing and coloring so one of the important exercises is to draw how it would be like, what can you do, what would you see, when you have your Magic eyes back again? Many of the drawings you see on this web site are drawn by children participating in a Magic eyes workshop.

You will discover exactly where your eyesight is. If there is a difference between the eyes and of course you will learn neat exercises for restoring normal eyesight. One of the problems that often go unnoticed is eye-coordination. This is a very important visual skill for reading. Research show that as many as 80% of children diagnosed with reading disability, including those labeled Dyslexic, lack proficiency in one or more basic vision skills.

At the end of the first day you will get homework consisting of one or two basic eye exercises that are particularly important for your child. It is now the challenge for parents to encourage and motivate the child to do the exercises. Leo Angart recommend that you do eye exercises for only a few minutes at a time, and exercise at least 10 times a day or more. Short but frequent exercise is what makes the big difference.

During the second day of Magic eyes workshop we celebrate the progress everyone have made. Praise and encouragement are important teaching tools.

Many children have astigmatism so we will check for that and teach you fun ways you can get rid of that problem. Astigmatism responds very well to Vision training exercises.

Another important aspect is the best way to do homework, especially the lighting. We will talk about the best kind of lighting in the children's room. We have more fun exercises designed to develop good cross lateral movement as well as improve your brain function.

We will teach you ways to continue improving your eyes beyond the common 20/20. Children under 12 can easily see the 20/16 line or better. So, just for the fun of it we will go for the 20/16 line as a minimum.

Finally, the children draw their own Magic eyes certificate showing everything they learned.

Everyone go home, knowing that they have Magic eyes, and that they will always have Magic eyes.
