Editorial Reviews
Drawing on his own experiences and the success of the people he has treated, Liberman reveals how the fundamental self-healing properties of the body/mind connection can change the way you see the world. Liberman focuses on the intimate connection between "eyesight" and "insight" and makes it clear that changing our awareness and perceptions is the best "prescription" of all. Illustrations.

33% improivement from just reading this book!

I read this many years ago and upon completion, visited my local optometrist for my annual visit. Prior to the visit, my glasses were -2.25 each eye and after examination, reduced to -1.75 each eye and later reduced again to -1.5 each eye, without doing the exercises!

Believing you get what you focus on (no pun intended), I achieved a 33% improvement.

There have been days when I've woken up and been able to see clearly without glasses or contacts and I've actually thought I forgot to remove them (which would not be the case, as my vision would be very cloudy if I had indeed done that.)

My girlfriend is now reading this book and it will be interesting to see what kind of improvement she may be able to obtain.

What have you got to lose?

Anybody Can Write a Book....

Anybody can write a book about anything. That does not make it true. Many authors site patients that they have healed. Those ancedotes are not necessarily true. I have worn glasses since I was 7 and added contacts in my teens. When I got into my early twenties, my prescriptions stablized. I am now in my mid forties. I get my eyes checked every year or two and my presciption is always the same. I like to have an open mind, but I found this mind/body, energy fields, paranormal stuff related to vision hard to believe. I guess the only thing to do is try it. If that is one would like to do, this book seems a good start.

This book is a gift for everone using glasses

This book is written from knowledge and experience. Jacob takes the Bates Method, adds plenty of his own experience and explains it in a way that you cannot ignore. The book is full of factual, methods for relearning to see easily and effortlessly without glasses and also deals with the more subtle psychological resistances many of us have towards seeing clearly. Its a great book and written with love. 4 weeks in and my eyesight has improved 6%(from 5.5D with 1D astigmatism to 5.25D with .75D astigmatism. I wear glasses only for the computer and driving now. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to throw away their glasses!

Best yet

I almost didn't buy this book based on a review. So I am writing to say that this is the best book on vision I have read yet. Since I must have 10 or 12 such books in my possession, I consider this quite a statement.

Positive experience...

First off I will simply say that this is, in my experience, an excellent book on the topic of the deeper nature of eye-sight and why (in many cases) it deteriorates.

In order to help you, the reader of this review, gain a little insight into the nature of the main emphasis of this book I wish to share with you a couple of personal experiences.

I was prescribed reading glasses when I was 15. At that time I intuitively felt into "why do people end up with deteriorated eyesight?" -- why is my eye-sight failing?. Intuitively I knew that in most instances it was literally the result of "not wanting to see" something within my world and/or within myself. Within less than six months I no longer needed my glasses and now can't wear them (as they no longer "correct" my vision, but distort it).

About 8 years ago I met a friend of mine when she was 22. She had thick glasses that she had to wear at all times if she was to see much in her world. She'd had them since age 6. They got stronger and stronger every few years. She was convinced (like most people) that this was "normal" and she'd have these for the rest of her life. In talking to her about matters of health and healing, I mentioned that I felt her challenged eye-sight was the result of her not wishing to see something from her childhood. I felt it was related to her father. (Perhaps I qualify that comment by saying that, among other things, I work as an intuitive healer).

She thought this idea to be quite ridiculous. A few days later we went to a 2nd hand book store. I found in there the book I am now reviewing. After flicking through it I quickly recognised that Liberman had very similar views on eyesight to myself. I bought it and gave it to my partner to read. I also read it myself. Within no more than 4 weeks after reading this book she has not worn her glasses since. She had to literally throw them away as they were no longer a suitable prescription. She has been reading, driving, living, etc., without all glasses every since (that was 8 years ago).

I will add that she didn't have to do much in the way of eye exercises. She did learn and practice doing what Liberman calls "Open Focus". This is, however, a good practice for all people -- glasses or not. It simply involves relaxing ones focus so that it is not drilling down onto the object/view at hand, but rather takes in the entire field of ones vision at all times (at least, whilst in open focus,,, which can become an ongoing way of viewing the world).

I am not suggesting that all people who read this book will have the same results as my friend. I am suggesting that it is entirely possible though. The probability of this will, however, depend on you and how ready and willing you are to see the world in a new way. What I do wish to share with you is that what Liberman explores in this book is, in my experience, an accurate view of the metaphysical aspect of eyesight and vision.

For people that rigidly adhere to a purely physical/materialist view of the world they might find this book is not compatible with their world view. If, however, you are open to the time-honoured perspective that there is "far more to life than meets the eye" then this book is written in such a way, and presented in such a way, that I am sure you will find it of great value. Liberman has a great deal of experience in this field... both as a trained optomitrist and as someone that broke away from the conventions of that profession and has since helped many people free themselves from the need to wear glasses.

I give this book my highest recommendation to anyone with poor eye sight, who is genuinely open to and interested in taking on a deeper understanding of the nature human of eye sight, and to then literally "take your glasses off and see". In my experience, this is a fantastic book.

I wish you all the best success in regaining your precious eye-sight.
