Good vision is more than the ability to see 20/20 on an eye chart. Any vision problem is a message alerting us to an unbalanced inner state. Eyeglasses, medications, and surgery may correct poor vision but they cannot correct this inner imbalance. In The Power Behind Your Eyes, Robert-Michael Kaplan presents Integrated Vision Therapy a comprehensive daily program that can actually improve as well as treat the inner causes of poor vision. More comprehensive than other vision care techniques, Integrated Vision Therapy takes a holistic approach to identifying the causes of vision problems and developing noninvasive, natural strategies for treatment, including clear, easy-to-follow exercises, diets, and changes in daily habits.

Editorial Reviews
From Scientific American
This insightful book will, for many, open new vistas and possibilities related to our dominant sense, helping us see new possibilities for our vision and our lives.
From The New Yorker
Robert-Michael Kaplan is a true visionary. For 20 years I have deeply respected the way his life is a living manifestation of his work. His new book will surely rock the foundation of our present vision paradigm and provide a revolutionary new understanding for all who have the eyes to see.

I borrowed this from the library...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Power Behind Your Eyes: Improving Your Eyesight with Integrated Vision Therapy (Paperback)
I didn't find this book helpful. The author proposes that vision problems are the result of emotional difficulties, or improper diet etc. There is very little reference to any exercises that might help. Mainly it consists of anecdotes, and is quite repetitive. This wouldn't be my first choice in vision improvement literature.

2.0 out of 5 stars
overall a good philosophy, but poorly written,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Power Behind Your Eyes: Improving Your Eyesight with Integrated Vision Therapy (Paperback)
I'm returning to vision therapy fairly nearsighted with -7.5 diopters in both eyes, but with memory of past success in vision therapy programs as a youth.Kaplan takes a holistic approach to vision therapy, tying in emotional development and current life patterns to vision health. I too subscribe to a holistic approach, but I find myself unable to sit through the book's presentation for long: It's heavy on anecdotes, ruminations, reflections, imaginary stories, analogies and the like, but light on actual substantative advice. Ironically, I find this book on vision therapy surprisingly unfocused! Only about 30 of the 180 pages are devoted to explaining vision techniques to practice, and even some of these are hidden within the text undistinguished. This sparseness is evidenced by the the length of book's appendix "Essential Integrated Vision Therapy Program": it's only a short column long. I'd also like to have seen footnotes citing specific studies, rather than relying on anecdotes and the bibliography, especially in support of some of his more surprising claims, such as that iris texture reflects personality type (Rayid). While this book does take a holistic approach to vision therapy -- which I think useful to anyone with poor vision health -- I'd look elsewhere for a concise and substantive book that's also easy to digest and apply.

This book offers perspectives on and tools for healing of the eyes. It opens the readers perspective on how to consider eye conditions. And, if the concepts are followed, eye improvement occurs.
