Don't let the Doctor's review fool you, it works
If you're looking for a book with eye EXERCISES that was written by someone with curiosity who EXPERIMENTED and STUDIED at the same time to improve their vision, with advice that may help you, you've found it. I used to be in eye therapy at the Alderwood Vision Clinic in WA, I know these exercises work and I know that without daily exercises... your vision will tend towards what you mainly look at. I was nearsighted, then eventually didn't need glasses thanks to the vision therapy, then I played video games for 3 years as well as computer games and gradually got worse. a physical approach
The author presents vision improvement in a way that likens relaxed use of the eyes to other forms of fitness that keep the body, or various aspects of it, working smoothly and efficiently. The material isn't strictly the Bates Method, but it's basically in line with it, with some things added that some Bates teachers may not agree with. The book goes over why glasses are not the solution, then it gets into specific exercises that are to help refractive errors.

Your eyes are important;it pays to keep them in shape!
Despite all the emphasis today on healthy lifestyles and physical fitness, I can't recall seeing any other recent book that has advocated applying those same principles to a person's eyes.As Ms. Roy points out in"Eyerobics", the eyes contain muscles that need a good workout,too, in order to stay strong and limber.Many years ago, as a teenager, Istruggled with the fact that I was nearsighted and had no choice but towear the heavy "nerdy-looking" glasses that were available backin the 50's. I was intrigued when I found a paperback book that describeda variety of exercises that one could perform in order to improve vision.The book seemed to be based on sound principles, but unfortunately, ittreated eye exercises as if they were the "calisthentics" thatwere so popular in those days:something boring and uncomfortable that was"good for you".The book sat on a shelf for years, filled withgood ideas that never became a reality. I eventually learned of thenewly-available contact lens, and was able to take advantage of thiswonderful development to shed my glasses for a while.However, at somepoint the discomfort of contact with smoke and dust overcame my vanity, andI decided that a pair of lightweight, wire-rim glasses was really not sobad. Now, as I approach the big "50", I have found that I have anew challenge, one that we all face eventually: the tendency to havedifficulty with close work when wearing my regular glasses.I have triedusing the latest version of "bi-focals", and I find a lot ofdisadvantages.I believe that with a little work, I can improve my closevision so that the single-vision lenses will be sufficient. I may decide atsome point to undergo laser vision correction for cosmetic reasons, but Iknow that the close-vision issue will remain unless I develop healthy,flexible eye muscles. I have found "Eyerobics" to be a sourceof inspiration and a kind of "owner's manual for the eyes". Theexercises are designed to fit into today's busy schedules, and seem to bemore like an interesting little games than like "calisthentics". Marilyn Roy has brought some important eye-care issues to the attention ofthe general public in a readable, down-to-earth book.Perhaps it should bemade into a "Dummies" book, because it deserves to be just aspopular. ...
