About a month ago, I went to a lecture on vision therapy: a holistic approach to improving ones vision via nutrition, eye exercises, positive thinking, etc. I was rather skeptical, but went ahead and bought the book and tape, and decided to go ahead and give it a try. After all, the most I could lose is the price of the book and tape. Before I began the vision exercises described in the book, my vision was 20/100. Now, to my pleasant surprise, my vision has improved to 20/50, and I occasionally have flashes of even clearer vision (20/20). For the first time in years, I'm watching movies without glasses, can read overhead projections without glasses. Don't worry, I still use my glasses when driving (20/40 is legal limit here in Oregon). I work on a VDT quite a bit, and do some of the eye exercises throughout the day. This has helped reduce my eye strain. When I first heard the vision therapist lecture, I thought he was half- way off his rocker; and infact, my opthamalogist told me that as far as he's concerned "vision therapy is a bunch of hogwash". But as the saying goes, You can't argue with success! I'm very happy and amazed that my vision has improved. I don't know if I'll ever reach 20/20 vision, but 20/50 is a lot better than 20/100!

I would be interested in the book and tape. I am sure others may be as well. Can you please post the name of the book. I am willing to try it since all else has failed! M. Sarno ...hogpc!sarno
