Improving eyesight without glasses

Williams Bates an ophthalmologist in New York in the early 20th century thought that eyes problems were the result of stress, tension and laziness, he developed a proven system to improve eyesight without surgery or corrective lenses.
Nowadays, people don’t use such a system surgery and glasses are the way to go. However, if you want a free and simple alternative to glasses and surgery , they are system available the Bates Method (inspired of eyes yoga) and others, yes, eyesight can be improved naturally. Let make a tour to those systems:

The AVI program

AVI stands for American Vision Institute, it is a research organization, they developed a system to work on various eyes problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, myopia, poor vision due to aging and eyestrain. The method also help to prevent the deterioration of eyesight. The method is based on a series of exercises such as Pumping and Tromboning which stimulate the flow of nutrients inside the eyes. The method is completed with techniques referred as booster such as affirmations, acupressure (relieve tension and stress, increase blood circulation, light therapy, palming among others. So far the best system and the manual only cost $8, I urge you to go at the Amazon site and read what other users think of this system.

The Bates Method

The Bates Method is a re-education system for the eyes to adjust them and focus them more efficiently. According to Ihealth on the Bates Method “The eye muscles need to be able to move freely in order to make the tiny adaptations necessary to centre on the object of your vision. But, according to Bates, many people habitually strain their eyes by keeping them in a fixed position, ’staring’ at a whole scene rather than allowing constant movement. His exercises teach you to relax the eye muscles and optic nerve and use memory and imagination to improve co-ordination between the eyes and the brain.” They are four main exercises in the method, Palming (resting the eyes by closing them with palm on them), Swinging (this is for breaking the habit of staring and prevent eyestrain), Sunning (taking sunshine on the closed lids to relieve photophobia), combined together the exercises form a good system to improve eyesight without glasses.

Self-Hypnosis

Self-hypnosis can be of great help to improve eyesight especially, if you combine it with the AVI program, a good self-hypnosis session to improve should work the emotional issues behind the eyes problem, many people have eyes problems and disease because , they fear their future, they don’t want see their truth or have lack of self-worth, those psychological conditions impede the vision to some extend. You can read more about that in Karol Truman ‘Feelings Buried Alive Never Die’.

No matter the method, working on the psychological aspect of the eyes problem is always good. If you are one the few who tried every natural vision improvement system under the sun and got no result, I can only encourage to find the psychological reason of your pain.

NLP – Angart Method

The NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) approach is based on the recent retina research, Dane Leo Angart is a NLP trainer who develop a system to improve eyesight based on NLP (belief change techniques), Bates exercises, energy healing and hypnosis. The Angart method is available in book and workshops.
