Book Description

March 2, 1991
Although we are commonly tested for sight, which we are born with, our vision, which involves the interplay between eyes and brain, is too often ignored. What's more, better vision can be learned. Now, Dr. Arthur Seiderman and Dr. Steven Marcus reveal the astonishing new advances in vision therapy that can significantly reduce eye strain, improve concentration, enhance peripheral vision, depth perception, visual reaction time, and much more.

Discover the revolutionary new treatments that can help:
-- Children and students who have undetected learning disabilities, about 70% of which result from vision disorders
-- Adults whose jobs require intensive, close work
-- Drivers whose vision deficiencies make them dangerous on the road
-- Athletes who are not performing to their full potential
-- Older people who are unnecessarily handicapped by weakened vision

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Two noted optometrists discuss the promise of vision therapy, the nonsurgical treatment of vision disorders such as nearsightedness, vision-based learning disabilities, and strabismus. Remarkable case histories illustrate that vision--as opposed to sight--is a learned activity; hence, people of all ages can be trained to have better vision skills for reading, driving, video display terminal use, sports, and general health through exercises, biofeedback, and other methods. Curiously, the authors scarcely discuss the therapeutic procedures unique to this little-known modality. Still, an interesting discussion. Recommended for public libraries.

"Fascinating insights into an important realm of medical research." Booklist

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is not very useful., January 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: 20/20 Is Not Enough (Mass Market Paperback)
Buy "Improve Your Vision Without Glasses Or Contacts" or "Eyerobics" instead of this book. It contains only antedotal information and no actual therapy techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book opens new views of vision problems, January 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: 20/20 Is Not Enough (Mass Market Paperback)
While not a self-help book, "20/20 Is Not Enough" serves to show a growing, but under-noticed area of learning problems: Vision disability. Going beyond the normal ideas of near- and far- sightedness and astigmatism, the authors discuss mechanical and physical reasons for vision problems. Many children have the problems mentioned in the book, but go undiagnosed due to several reasons. Optometrists who look for and treat visual problems (with vision therapy combined with corrective lens) are few and far between. I believe this book should be MUST reading for elementary school teachers, optometrists, and school "nurses." I heartily recommend this book for any parent who has children struggling with their reading and vision skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars 20/20 Is Not Enough ~ The New World of Vision, January 21, 2002

"lindar37" (Manheim, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 20/20 Is Not Enough (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is EXCELLENT!! She is almost 10 yrs old and for almost 2 years, our daughter has been struggling in school. We've watched her grades and attitude plummet. We've tried EVERYTHING to get her help. On an annual, routine eye exam, our eye doctor found a problem and sent us to Dr. Arthur Seiderman. I watched as she was tested and was AMAZED by the results. How did she get as far as she did with this vision disability? Moreover, only being 2 weeks into her therapy, we see a dramatic change in her attitude and boost in her confidence level. We read this book and it says it all! I highly recommend this book to anyone who see a problem with their child's behavior. Many ADHD people are misdiagnosed and they really have vision problems. We are thrilled with this book and are lending it to all of our friends!
