Glaucoma, Cataracts, Astigmatism and all Eye Problems
What You Need To Know About Eye-Robics

Vision comes to normal and relaxed eyes as effortlessly as scent to the nostrils, music to the ear or the touch of velvet to the fingertips. In the following you will read about how you can improve or completely return your vision to normal and experience healthy eyes again, whether you are, nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatic, hyperopic, amblyopic, have nystagmus, macular degeneration, glaucoma, strabismus, cataract, ptosis (drooping eyelid), bells’ palsy, fibro myalgia, eye fatigue, headaches, dry eyes, light sensitivity or computer eyestrain, Eye-Robics will assist you to clarity and normal healthy eyes free of symptoms of dis-ease.

Having worn glasses for ten years, I learned about the Dr. Bates Method of Vision Training from a friend. I didn’t know there was anything one could do about wearing glasses. I never liked them, but was unaware of any alternative until I heard about the Dr. Bates Method. I went through the vision training process of physical therapy for the eyes, normalized my vision and went on to become a teacher of the method. I have coined the term Eye-Robics because that is exactly what physical therapy is, getting the eyes into motion, to function and into its’ natural normal flexible state.

THREE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT EYE-ROBICS

There are several things you should know about Eye-Robics Vision Training. One is that if your eyes can get worse (not seeing clearly) they can get better (see clearly again). This is what Dr. Bates discovered over 90 year ago. He asked,”If glasses are correct why do they continually need to be strengthened, while the eyes under their influence have been weakened?” Glasses are a crutch, and not intended to be used for a lifetime. As with all crutches, their purpose is to allow you to function (see to drive etc.) until your own muscles are strengthened and you no longer need the crutch. We do this in Eye-Robics vision training.

If a person has a strong prescription we have them wear a weaker prescription (safe for driving) for where ever they are visually. This allows the eyes to function more under the lens and allows continued progress in getting healthier and clearer vision; you treat your glasses like a pair of crutches, using them when you need to see for safety etc. and leaving them off other times to allow the eyes to loosen up and function. As the vision improves, a lesser prescription is needed and the person goes into a healthy spiral of weaker and weaker glasses until none are needed. The number of prescription changes varies with the persons need for clarity in their profession and the strength of the prescription. Someone with a mild prescription may never need a weaker prescription. A strong prescription may need two or three changes.

There is a way to keep your eyes healthy and fit, even if you have glaucoma, or cataracts along with whatever reason you originally went into glasses, such as myopia (nearsightedness), presbyopia (farsightedness), astigmatism or any other eye problem.

ARE YOUR EYES HEALTHY?

This brings us to the second thing you need to know. What does it mean to have healthy eyes? If your vision is 20/20 and the demands on your eyes are not causing you physical strain and discomfort in your eyes, head, neck and back, then you have healthy eyes. If you are not seeing clearly and experience getting stronger and stronger lenses every year or two, have glaucoma, cataracts, astigmatism or any other eye problems then you need to consider a healthier alternative. If you look around you and in care homes, you will find that the “Golden Years” are not so “Golden”. So many older people have glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, ptosis (drooping eyelid), etc. Most all of these conditions are a result of stress which causes lack of functioning and circulation over time. This condition (lack of circulation) over a period of time causes deterioration. The medical profession calls it old age, but eyes can learn how to be healthier and function for a lifetime.

THE CAUSE AND CURE OF VISION PROBLEMS

The third thing you need to know is the cause and the cure of vision problems. Dr. Wm. H. Bates, ophthalmologist, pioneered vision therapy in the early1900's; he discovered the cause and the cure of vision problems. He discovered that tension in the mind interfered with the involuntary focusing muscles of the eye. In the normal eye whether you look near or far, the eye automatically focuses where you put your attention. This is called eye-mind coordination. We see with our mind first directing our attention. Vision is 9/10 mental and 1/10 physical. The eyes are tools of the mind. Just as ulcers and heart attacks are caused by prolonged stress (psycho somatic illness), so is the vision affected by stress. These stresses are always accompanied by changes: people moving, changing schools, a divorce, a death, career changes, a difficult relationship. These changes create stress and an element of the unknown which evokes fear. This fear is usually repressed as a survival mechanism and never dealt with again.

As opposed to a medical or mechanical approach, this vision training is based on the principle of relaxation. It teaches specific techniques and skills for relaxing mental stress, releasing muscle tension and restoring muscle flexibility. It releases the strain that keeps you from seeing clearly and re-educates the mind and body in good seeing habits.

You may say, "How can Eye-Robics work with all eye problems?" It works with all eye problems because it works with the cause, not the symptoms as wearing glasses, contacts or having surgery. You release the cause and allow the body to do its own healing as it was intended to do.

We are made in the image of our creator, God. The word disease if broken down can be said another way, dis---ease, not at ease with ourself. Eye-Robics allows awareness to unfold as well. I have developed "The Rapid Healing Technique" for my studens to assist them in dealing with emotions as they come up in this process on the road back to clairity. This e-book is offered as a bonus when you purchase the Eye-Robics program. Click on "The Rapid Healing Technique" for more details.

Eye-Robics is easy, safe, fun and it’s for everyone, regardless of age or strength of glasses (prescription). The Dr. Bates Method which I call Eye-Robics is physical therapy for the eyes. The process allows the muscles to return to functioning and therefore a healthy state allowing good circulation. Healthy eyes do not have eye diseases.

BENEFITS

The benefits are tremendous stress reduction on the autonomic nervous system. Dr. Bates says, ”All vision problems are nerve problems”. So the solution/cure for glaucoma, cataracts astigmtism and all eye problems is this natural physical therapy process called Eye-Robics. Healthy eyes do not have eye problems. This natural process teaches you how to have fit and normal vision again and gives you the tools to keep your eyes healthy and fit for the rest of your life. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure but it does not matter where you are visually, you start from where you are. A journey is not taken until the first step, then its one step at a time. It is a wise man who is willing to improve his/her state of being when a brighter path is shown.

SUNGLASSES; YOUR EYES AND THE LIGHT

As sunny days become more frequent and longer, many people get out their sunglasses or go shopping for the latest style. Why? Do we really need sunglasses? Or do sunglasses represent poor visual habits or just wanting to be fashionable. Sunglass rob the eye of its natural function.

Eye-Robics offers techniques not only to help people rid themselves of ordinary glasses or contacts but also help people with normal vision get rid of their sunglasses. Sun sensitivity is the first symptom of mental strain.

Eye-Robics focuses on relaxation, on learning new habits of seeing and on changing mental habits which affect vision quality.

BENEFITS OF SUNLIGHT

The sun has many beneficial effects for the eyes. Those of you who have enjoyed sunbathing know how good it feels under the influence of its warmth. Nerves tendons and muscles just naturally let go. And so it is with the muscles of the eyeballs.

Working with light is one of the most important phases for the building of relaxation for the eye, also for the relaxation of the retinal nerves.

LIGHT SENSITIVITY

There are many people whose eyes are super sensitive to light. This super sensitivity is caused in most cases by fear of light rather than by the light itself. Unfortunately it is a common sight to see dark glasses worn in a lecture hall or other public gathering at night. What started as a fad some years ago has grown for some a necessity. The dark glasses are being made ornate and spectacular in decoration and shape to entice those who have never worn them. There are now glasses called transitions, that do all the work for you. They automatically change from dark to light automatically when you are in the sun or indoors. These glasses rob you of function even more and create more dependence on sunglasses.

SUNLIGHT AND THE OPTIC NERVE

The eye is the one organ in the body that is constructed by nature to receive light. The eyes need light to stimulate the nerves of the retina. Sunlight is the great stimulator of the optic nerve, also a relaxer of tense muscles. If there is tension and fear of light there will be almost an automatic reaction against it and immediately the dark glasses are put on or the shades are drawn. Sun starved eyes are dim of vision, their optic nerves are sluggish in circulation and unstimulated, their retinas are slow in the replacement of visual purple. Such a person when going from a darkened room into the outdoor sun may even feel pain in the eyes which will further convince him/her that the sun is harmful and do severe damage unless the eyes are protected.

Eye-Robics gently teaches the eyes how to receive light. Eyes can be trained by gradual work and a rational approach to the light problem. Once you fully understand that the eyes were given you for the use in light and that the sun is the eyes best medicine, you have taken the first step in overcoming this "photophobia" or fear of light.

Re-educating the mind and eyes to light must be done in short doses, gradually overcoming the fear as you do it. This will give you a sense of freedom and well being. The Eye-Robics program teaches you how to do that.

TO LAZER OR NOT TO LAZER, THAT IS THE QUESTION!

ARE YOU ON THE FENCE AS TO WHETHER YOU WANT TO HAVE LAZER
SURGERY OR NOT-- READ THIS ARTICLE!

Imagine your life without glasses, contacts or surgery. What would it be like to be free of crutches? Did you know that there is a way you can improve your vision without glasses, contacts or surgery? This natural proven method which I call EYE-ROBICS is based on the scientific discoveries Dr. Wm. H. Bates, noted surgeon, physician and ophthalmologist. Optometrists and ophthalmologists today still only deal with the symptoms of vision problems, by fitting glasses contacts or surgery. This was one of the questions that Dr. Bates asked many
years ago, "Why if glasses are correct, must they continually be strengthened because the eyes, under their influence have weakened"?

THE CAUSE AND CURE

Dr. Bates discovered that tension in the mind interfered with the involuntary focusing muscles of the eye. In the normal eye whether you look, near or far, the eye automatically focuses where you put your attention. This is called eye-mind coordination. We see with our mind first directing our attention. Vision is 9/10 mental and 1/10 physical. The eyes are tools of the mind. Just as ulcers and heart attacks are caused by prolonged stress (psycho somatic illness), so is the vision affected by stress. These stresses are always accompanied by changes. People moving, changing schools, a divorce, a death, career changes, a difficult relationship. These changes create stress and an element of the unknown which evokes fear. This fear is usually repressed as a survival mechanism and never dealt with again.

As apposed to a medical or mechanical approach, Eye-Robics training is based on the principle of relaxation. Eye-Robics teaches specific techniques and skills for relaxing mental stress, releasing muscle tension and restoring muscle flexibility. Eye-Robics releases the strain that keeps you from seeing clearly and re-educates the mind and body in good visual habits. Eye-Robics is easy, exciting, safe, fun and it’s for everyone, regardless of age or strength of glasses. Improve your vision in 30 days or less. Participants in the Eye-Robics program can expect 25% - 75% improvement in the first six weeks.

Eye-Robics is a complete practical program of visual education. It teaches physical and mental drills to release muscular tension, improve acuity, accommodation, coordination and peripheral awareness. It utilizes visualization techniques to develop and enhance visual memory and imagination and stimulates the use of the minds eye, the highest level of visual functioning. Eye-Robics relaxation techniques develop a deep sense of relaxation and well being.

HOW AND WHY EYE-ROBICS WORKS:

In the normal eye there are six extrinsic (outer) muscles, four top and bottom and each side and two belting around the eye. The eye works like the camera, it changes in focal length. It flattens for distance seeing and elongates for close seeing. Muscles only pull and relax. When you look into the distance the four recti muscles contract and flatten the eyeball. When you look up close, they relax and the oblique muscles contract and elongate the eye for near tasks. This all happens by your thoughts and attention, eye-mind coordination, that is if you are mentally relaxed.

QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT EYE-ROBICS:

Q. Why should I do Eye-Robics instead of surgery? Surgery sounds so appealing.

Ans: Yes it does sound appealing, but when you understand how the eye functions surgery is not so appealing. The fact that your vision can get worse and better due to stress makes surgery not so appealing. If the eye has been changing prior to surgery, what is going to change to prevent it from changing after surgery? Before surgery, eyeglasses or contacts change the focal length of the eye to correct vision. With Lasik surgery the surgeon changes the focal length of the eye by reshaping the cornea. The eye has been lazered to your current vision. Stress happens and the eye changes again so that the altered corneal curvature is not correct: many people end up in glasses again. Having more surgery is not the answer. Removing the cause, (stress) is the answer.

Q. What actually happens in the surgery?

Ans. The Lasik surgeon creates hinged flap in the cornea using a motorized blade called a microkeratome. The flap is lifted up, and the ultraviolet laser beam reshapes the exposed underlying cornea. The flap is replaced and the focal length has been changed to clear vision or close to it. As many as 98% of patients end up with 20/40 vision and 80% end up with 20/20 vision. You cannot uncut a cornea.

Q. What benefits are there in doing Eye-Robics?

Ans: Because all vision problems are nerve problems, the process of releasing stress benefits the entire body. People with digestive problems are relieved, because the stress release affects the autonomic nervous system. Insomnia is relieved, hypertension, headaches, I have seen skin rashes go away and blood pressure go down, dry eyes come into balance A general sense of well-being is achieved, the world looks brighter and more friendly, emotions are cleared. Clear focus creates a clear thinking mind, and a mind and body at ease.

Q. Is the process of Eye-Robics difficult?

Ans: The Eye-Robics drills are simple and easy. It is fun to allow the body and mind to relax. As you master the simple drills of eye and mind coordination, memory, imagination and visualization, the muscles loosen up and begin their way back to functioning again. It takes some time as we are dealing with the nervous system, releasing stress and building vision. It is physical therapy for the eyes: tight muscles must relax and build strength and tone through use.

Q. I have had lazer surgery, my vision has deteriorated from what it was after surgery, is there anything I can do, will Eye-Robics help me?

Ans: Yes Eye-Robics can help you return to the vision that was achieved at the time of surgery. The muscles have tightened up changing the corneal curvature. Through relaxing the tension in that group of muscles your vision can return to the point of clarity produced by surgery or better (see case history on website www.eyerobics.net). The relaxation techniques learned will allow you to be in charge of your life and tension. You learn how to manage and release tension.
