What a shock!! I'm that SMALL % with NO improvement August 30, 2004 8 out of 15 found this review helpful
I was doing the 10 week program. After 9 weeks of doing the program, I gave up.. I have not seen any improvement. I would notice something because I can't see anything clear past 7 inches from my face. So forgive me for not doing the 10th week but I don't believe the 10 week is the magical number where everything changes suddenly.
Personal review of "Improve Your Eyesight" by James Bellevue March 25, 2004 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I purchased this book and tape ten years ago and have not yet had to purchase new glasses. The book is very easy to understand and the video is easy to follow with very simple and clear to understand directions. I highly recommend this book to anyone for eye vision improvement.

I was a little perplexed by the following two reviews. I do not understand how Mr. Hwang claims the video contains only 3 exercises. There are 16 different exercises on the video tape, some are demonstrated and others are animated graphics which are watched. Maybe Mr. Hwang received a defective video tape, in which case I would request that he return it for a replacement. I assume he didn't watch only the first 5 minutes of the 90 minute video to make his evalution.To the Optometrist who admits he "never read the book", I would suggest he read the information published by the American Optometric Association. The article titled "The Efficacy of Optometric Vision Therapy" (Journal of American Optometric Association, V 59, No. 2) references over 100 research studies supporting vision therapy. The article "Position statement on vision therapy" (Journal of American Optometric Association, V 56, No. 10) supports the use of vision therapy. Vision therapy is not a cure-all for all vision problems. It will not cure eye diseases. But I have received many many letters from people who have been helped by this vision therapy program.

Contains just 3 useless exercises February 21, 2004 9 out of 25 found this review helpful
In the video, you will find just 3 exercises.1) Rotating eyeball 2) Rotating neck 3) Tracking an object with your eyes You can do the exercises (1) and (2) without watching the video. You just rotate your eyeball and neck. That's it. The video is also useless for the exercise (3). It just displays a small dot moving on the TV screen and you track it with your eyes. Nothing more. Moreover, since it is a video on TV screen, the displays are very flickering so the exercise (3) will only give you eye strain.

For what it's worth, I'm an optometrist and the optics in the eye can't be altered by muscles (unless we're talking about accommodation). If my camera is out of focus it's the optics. That's why glasses and contact lenses are used...to correct the optics. I'd be leery of anyone who rates this book at five stars. They probably have a vested interest or they are into mind games because the laws of light are not altered by muscles.Now, if a person who removes their correction (glasses/contacts) they may be able to squint and see better. That is done by limiting off axis rays and only allowing a narrow band of light to enter through the pupil. Again, muscles in the eye didn't affect the optics, only the beam of light was limited. Please....educate yourself on science if you want to know the truth.
