Imagine your life without glasses or contacts. What would it be like?

If you could wake up in the morning and see the numbers on your alarm clock or read the newspaper for the first time in years, would you jump out of bed and shout with joy? 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"? 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. 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®: VERSUS SURGERY

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 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. So many 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 a hinged flap in the cornea using a motorized blade called a microkeratome. The flap is lifted up and the untraviolet lazer beam reshapes the exposed underlying cornea. The flapis replaced and the focal length has been changed to clear vision or close to it. As many as 98% of patients endup with 20/40 vision and 80% end upwith 20.20

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 like 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 surgry, 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.
