Two Experiences of Effects

EXPERIENCES OF THE EFFECTS OF
EYE-ROBICS® VISION TRAINING ON EYESIGHT

This first experience is written by A.F. McKinley, MS-EE, MS-EES,a lecturer in physics at San Diego State University.

"Eye training began with Dr. Jerriann Taber after twenty-five years of wearing glasses, from the fourth grade on. At age 26, my optometrist told me that my eyesight would one day become so bad that the retina would detach and I would go blind. He offered no alternative to wearing glasses and even said that there were no exercises I could do which would bring back normal 20/20 vision. Using the EYE-ROBICS® program under Dr. Taber's tutelage my vision has improved markedly from 20/1600 (-8.50 d.) to the point where I can now drive my car comfortably without glasses. The dependence on lenses to which I was subject no longer exists, I felt freer, more capable of doing so many things that I dare not do before for fear of being caught with broken or lost glasses. The process of coming to see is most interesting.

At the beginning, the eyes see only blurs, these blurs with time begin to take shape, but these shapes come in flashes, few at first,then many, one after another. These shapes stay until a plateau of improved vision is attained. From this plateau come more flashes, a greater clarity to objects and a new plateau. The plateaus arrive rapidly, each a "breakthrough" of some sort in vision until the final plateau of normal vision is reached. Not long ago I saw the moon as an undecipherable ball of light of no particular shape. After a time, as my eyes learned to focus, the ball became an orb of many moons in a glow of light. Now there is only one moon, of proper size and shape. True, what I see is not yet perfect, but it is nearly so, and certainly enough to know that one day I will see perfectly. I have been keeping watch on a particular sign which, in the beginning, I could only read from 3 feet. In time, I began to see the sign clearly from 5 feet and then from 10 feet. The other day I saw this sign from 50 feet at a quick glance without any effort and with very little blur.

Perhaps the biggest stumbling block to the completion of the EYE-ROBICS® process is impatience. The block is purely mental. Most people seem to want clearer vision without the growth and education that must accompany it. Impatient people find glasses a boon because with them they can see instantly, but glasses are really a crutch. For someone like myself, glasses simply continue a process that I began as a child, a process of retreating from the world and into myself. I cannot expect to reverse in a few weeks a condition that developed over 25 years. That the EYE-ROBICS® program, in a little more than a year, has not only stopped the degradation but also improved my sight so greatly, is like a miracle to me. In the past I have worked much longer for things of lesser importance. For me, to be able to walk again after 25 years on crutches.

I feel as though I am on the homeward stretch now. Sometimes the scenery clears up so much that I wonder how sight can be clearer. There is no effort in this seeing; the eyes tingle and dance, they were once lifeless, rigid, useless instruments, now they are alive with movement, and I can see as I have never seen before."

This second experience was written by Gail Stewart, a lovely young, talented artist working in pottery and sculpture. This is her experience as she was working through her nearsightedness.

"First of all, glasses and contacts have kept me from experiencing the real world. There was glass between me and the world. It is like having to look through a window and all that implies, isolation and distortion of the glasses and so isolation and distortion of the world.

It is truly wonderful to be rid of the worry of glasses. No looking for lost glasses or cleaning dirty glasses, no repairing broken glasses. . . . . what a relief! I have always hated the idea that I was looking through glasses at the world. Who knows what distortions I may see, thinking I am seeing the real world. Just look how the view is changed when looking through the window as opposed to looking from the outside. One of the first things I noticed when I first took off my glasses was the difference in color. Everything seemed brighter, cleaner, and more vivid, like the world had just been cleaned. I also noticed more definition between a colors hues. A tree was no longer just green but silver gray, baby green, pea green, and mossy brown.

As I progressed, I noticed another phenomenon. Things started looking more three dimensional. A tree wasn't just a green blob, but now it had branches that stuck out and receded. It was much like looking at a pop up book for the first time, with such drastic changes in perception. It was indeed a thrilling adventure just taking a walk.

Having to wear glasses is a symptom of some larger disorder. The mind and therefore the body must be tensed and diseased to allow the eyes to malfunction. Until the eyes are corrected, it seems impossible that the mind and body can truly be at ease. In treating the eyes, one is also balancing the whole. When the eyes achieve 20/20 the body will be relaxed and the mind free of tension."

What Eye-Robicisers Are Saying
M.A. Neighbors
Huntsville, Ala. - "Have enjoyed using your EYE-ROBICS® program. I recently passed my drivers exam without glasses after having worn them for 35 years. At one point I was up to 20/1600 (a -7.00 d. lens)."

John Clegg
Santee, Ca. - "Just thought you'd like to know I got my drivers license - NO GLASSES! Not too many guys make it with bare eyes at age 63, I'll bet."

A.F. McKinley, MS-EE,MS-EES
Lecturer in Physics, SDSU - "At age 26, my optometrist told me that my eyesight would one day become so bad that the retina would detach and I would go blind Using the Eye-Robics program my vision has improved markedly from 20/2000 ( -8.50 d) to the point where I can now drive my car comfortably without glasses."

Roy Hopper
Retired Trust Officer - "You can't imagine the thrill of seeing clearly once again, it's exhilarating".
Rachel Drost, Data Processor - "In addition to improving my vision, EYE-ROBICS® has enabled me to be more confident in situations where I could not have been before."

Shirley Villarino
Facial Care Business - "In just 10 weeks of EYE-ROBICS®, my eyes are back to normal. I can read menus and small print again without glasses."

Mildred Lyons
Retired Secretary (age 69) - "After only six weeks, I no longer felt the need for sunglasses, for as long as I cam remember I have been uncomfortable in the sun, squinting etc. Also I no longer experience headaches, which have plagued me regularly in the past".

Troy Stravanski
Rental Business - "After twelve weeks of EYE-ROBICS®, I no longer experience severe pain and discomfort in my left eye. I went to the ophthalmologist four times for this pain with no results."
Beverly Powers, Grateful Mother - "My two children, Tim, age 11 and Sheila age 8, after only 10 sessions returned to normal vision. Thank you Dr. Taber!"

Dr. Taber wore glasses for ten years before learning the Bates Method and normalizing her own vision. Dr. Taber has worked with all ages and all types of vision problems, nearsighted, farsighted, astigmatism, lazy eye, co-ordination problems, strabismus, amblyopia learning disabilities and eye problems usually associated with the golden years (cataract, glaucoma, and macular degeneration).

EYE-ROBICS® techniques are wonderful to know as a preventive for those with normal vision to insure against eyestrain and tension. College students, pilots, policemen, firemen, persons who work with computers and those who use their eyes continually could benefit greatly. If a person experiencing eye strain would practice
EYE-ROBICS® techniques at the onset of a vision problem, he/she could prevent the use of glasses entirely.
