Customer Reviews

Thorough and Clear

The information is presented in a very clear, well-organized, and succinct way. The instructions for the exercises are very clear and thorough. I especially like the "What to Watch For" and "Notes" sections for each exercise. I feel like it's hard not to do these exercises correctly with all the notes and observations the author adds. The testimonials at the beginning and the introductory chapters really gave me hope and enthusiasm in this program. I just started the program, but I feel this book will have been valuable even if I do not see improvement in the "First Stage" of the program. The "First Stage" is only 8 weeks, with a simple exercise for each day. Eight weeks is quite a short time considering how long it took for some of our vision to have deteriorated this much. The exercises taught seem like they should be helpful in the prevention of my worsening nearsightedness, if not improvement. I read through the non-exercises part of this book quickly--its content is all relevant. It seems helpful to read through the exercises before starting because some may require other materials, such as a fusion string for the first exercise or a voice recorder for the visualization exercise later on. The schedule asks that you follow it strictly (6 days a week with the 7th day as a rest day) so I'd rather not discover that I'm missing materials on the day for a certain exercise. I wish the materials were either included in the book or that we were warned that it might be helpful to order the materials from The Cambridge Institute for Better Vision. The materials are easy to make or find, though--it's just a "tad" more trouble.

Vision improves more than 25%

When I started this program, my perscription was -4.75 in each eye with enough astigmatism that I had to wear glasses to correct it. Now, three months later, I wear contacts at -3.50 and no correction for astigmatism and am seeing 20/20. I have hope that someday I might not need lenses at all.

Doctor recommends The Program

I will be 79 this summer and have been coping with glaucoma for 12 years. My doctor recommended that I try the techniques in The Program for Better Vision, which he said could help to improve circulation, which in turn can lower intra-ocular pressure. This seems to be happening and my last 'vision field' tests showed remarkable improvement - some of my lost peripheral vision has returned.I'm extremely gratified that I found your book.

Personal experience in recovering clear vision

Martin Sussman's book, "The Program For Better Vision" is a resource of unlimited value to the glasses and/or contacts wearer who has received the blessing of a glimpse into the value of natural vision improvement. It is also a resource of great use to the experienced natural vision improver. The complete program of The Cambridge Institute For Better Vision is included in the book.The three and a half year involvement that I have had in the Program after 40 years of strong nearsightedness has brought remarkable changes to my life through the joy of seeing more clearly naturally. Improving my vision is an experience of accumulation of positive changes, factor building upon factor, virtually on a daily basis. I have been able to refer to the book as often as I choose and need to for continual education and guidance, and this allows my journey into visual clarity and joy to unfold into deeper and more profound levels of experience as I go. In this society of commitment to the quick fix, the belief has been thrown at us that simply putting on a disfiguring and distortion-bringing pair of glasses or contacts is "vision care." Nothing could be further from the truth. We even now have a wide-spread movement into laser surgery to "correct vision." Mr. Sussman's book offers a most wonderful alternative to these unfortunate approaches, as it addresses the very foundations of the causes of lowered vision in one's life and directs us on a new path of healing answers. As he says, our clear vision has been there all the time, just waiting to re-emerge. Don't look for a quick fix in this book; look for a REAL one.The Program For Better Vision addresses the broader areas affecting vision and life: nutrition, exercise, posture, natural healing, stress and relaxation, and mental and emotional health, to name a few. It is a practical program geared toward practical benefits.One of the educational positives of the book is the opportunity it presents to learn about all the many aspects of vision. Vision is far more than just being able to read the letters on the eye chart, or pass the driver's license exam; it is a full aspect of life. Although natural vision improvement and putting away one's glasses and contacts has been a well-kept secret in the past, it is becoming better known as people seek more sensible and fulfilling ways of living. The Program For Better Vision is a wonderful place to start and return to again and again for those seeking a new, joyful, and healthy way to the powers of our incredible gift of natural visual experience.
