Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was born in the Soviet Union under difficult circumstances. My father was involved in an illegal business, taking and printing photographs for churches. My family decided to flee the Soviet Union and relocate to Israel. During this time of transition for my family, five surgeries were performed on my eyes. The first two were unsuccessful. The other three were successful, but scarred my lenses to the point that 99 percent of them was scar tissue.
#2 I was born blind, and as a response to the fear and insecurity that filled my early life, I developed a sense of commitment. I did not want to be labeled as a blind person, and so I began to transition and change.
#3 I escaped into my Braille books. I was always reading, and I would read for hours on end when my mother said, Time to sleep, lights out. I wanted to be liberated from my condition, but all the doctors said there was nothing I could do.
#4 I had a bright future, but I did not know what it was. I met another boy named Jacob who had dropped out of high school. I learned the eye exercises he taught me, and as I practiced them, I received more complaints from the authority figures in my life.

#1

I was born in the Soviet Union under difficult circumstances. My father was involved in an illegal business, taking and printing photographs for churches. My family decided to flee the Soviet Union and relocate to Israel. During this time of transition for my family, five surgeries were performed on my eyes. The first two were unsuccessful. The other three were successful, but scarred my lenses to the point that 99 percent of them was scar tissue.

#2

I was born blind, and as a response to the fear and insecurity that filled my early life, I developed a sense of commitment. I did not want to be labeled as a blind person, and so I began to transition and change.

#3

I escaped into my Braille books. I was always reading, and I would read for hours on end when my mother said, Time to sleep, lights out. I wanted to be liberated from my condition, but all the doctors said there was nothing I could do.

#4

I had a bright future, but I did not know what it was. I met another boy named Jacob who had dropped out of high school. I learned the eye exercises he taught me, and as I practiced them, I received more complaints from the authority figures in my life.

#5

I was able to see regular letters within a year of practicing the Bates Method. I was not surprised to hear that I no longer needed the cylinders in my glasses to correct my astigmatism, because I didn’t have astigmatism anymore.

#6

My own process was not smooth. My eyes used to move involuntarily three hundred times per minute until I learned palming: rubbing my hands, putting them around my eye orbits very gently, and visualizing darkness. This would calm and relax my eyes.

#7

I learned how to teach individuals and classes, and I learned that the biggest difficulty most people have is that they don’t believe they can find the time to work on themselves. I teach them how to incorporate these exercises into their existing routines.

#8

I have worked with many patients and students over the years, and I have seen that people can improve their vision. You just have to make an effort to combine eye exercises with your everyday life. Then you can thrive and excel.

#9

The problem isn’t age itself, but whether or not a person is practicing the correct exercises for his or her age. It may be easier for a five-year-old child to get used to the weaker eye’s workings by putting on a patch for four or eight hours a day.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The ten steps to healthy vision are based on my seven principles of healthy vision: deep relaxation, adjusting to light frequencies, looking at details, looking into the distance, expanding your periphery, balanced use of the two eyes, and body and eye coordination.

#2

The long swing is an integrative exercise that develops a sense of fluidity and flexibility. It allows you to look at details with more ease, adapt to light easier, and adapt to new, livelier visual habits.

#3

Stand with your legs slightly more than hip-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Hold your index finger about one foot in front of your face, pointing up to the ceiling. Look at your finger with a soft gaze. As you swing your body from side to side, twist your body so that your left heel rises slightly off the ground.

#4

The long swing is an exercise that helps you look at the world without freezing. It is done by holding your finger horizontally in front of your face and moving it up and down in front of you, moving your head vertically along with your finger. When you move up, everything in the background seems to be moving down. When you move down, everything seems to be moving up.

#5

The long swinging exercise is an integrative exercise that takes you away from the stress you’re used to. It will help you develop your peripheral vision and create a better sense of orientation.

#6

When you look near, you unknowingly strain your eyes. When you look into the distance, however, the ciliary muscles relax, and the suspensory ligaments keep the lens flat and more flexible.

#7

Take ten minutes to rest your eyes by looking into the distance. Do not look closer than forty yards away, because you need to look far enough to rest your eyes.

#8
