5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, September 30, 2006

Perhaps more importantly than anything else about the kit, this vision improvement kit has taught me that my eyesight is NOT a static thing, I am NOT damned to poor sight; my eyesight changes every minute - and with the help of Schneider's activities and thorough guidebook, I've come to be very aware of that. Schneider explains to us that our eyes are a very integral part of our mind and our way of thinking (he goes as far as to call them a part of the brain), and that like any other part of our body, only if we take good care of them can we expect them to perform well. The exercises, included CDs, and guidebook are intended to teach us how to "pay attention" to our eyes, and he is right when he says that they'll respond!

I've been using the exercises on and off for two weeks. You're supposed to do them daily but I haven't found the time; even so, I notice not only a marked improvement in my eyesight, but also a closer and more constant awareness of them (when they're tired and so forth) and a better understanding of how to respond to their state. If your leg twinges when you walk, you generally rest a bit or massage it or go to the doctor; but a lot of people don't even rest their eyes for a minute if their eye is hurting. Now that I understand better how the eyes work (entirely thanks to this package and experimenting with the exercises), caring for them is just a matter of common sense... if you care at all about your physical and mental well-being and have even a half-hour per day to dedicate to yourself, this kit is well-worth the $30!

This kit is the best distillation of the Bates Method and Natural Vision Improvement. I have read almost every book written on the subject and I have experienced the most dramatic improvements with Meir's method. I can read signs and notice details that I never could before, and I have a much better sense of when my eyes are relaxed versus when they are stressed. The booklet itself is worth the cost of this kit, but the real benefit of the kit is Meir's spoken coaching on the 2 CDs. Every sentence he writes and speaks is full of new insights into healthy vision habits and vision correction techniques. I learn more and more with repeated exposure to his work. He knows what he is talking about: he grew up blind and now has an unrestricted driver's license, for heaven's sake! Also he has spent the last 25+ years helping other people with their vision and health problems, so he has seen many, many variations of vision problems. This is well worth the sub-$18 Amazon price. I also recommend his "Yoga for Your Eyes" video. It's a little older and has low production value, but is nice to watch him teach the methods. One word of advice... since vision is so affected by your mental state you must be a willing and active participant, so if you go into it cynically or do not read through the entire booklet you will not enjoy the vision improvements that I or the other successful vision-improvers have.

The instructions are simple and easy to follow. My vision has improved not just by doing the exercises but also by learning to relax my eyes and prevent them from straining. You should do a little research before buying this kit to determine if this is the method for you. It does take time and effort to restore your vision naturally. If you want a quick fix, this is not it.
