Preface

I am nearsighted and have been wearing glasses since 1986. My eyesight continued to get worst each year, likely due to the nature of my work. I was a computer programmer and project manager. My job was to create complex things in the simplest manner. I kept my clients informed of what they need to know to make critical decision for the project, but after years of stressful work, poor eating habits, and long hours in front of a computer, finally caught up with me. I was overweight, unfit, and felt unwell. I made the drastic decision to take a few years off work. That gave me the opportunity to focus on my health and improve it. It was not an easy journey to take.

Have you ever been drop in the middle of the Amazon without any food, tools, or a map? Neither have I. Trekking through the health world is like being dumped in the overgrown Amazon jungle. No health care professional seem to agree on anything, not even the food that we should eat! So my journey began in that jungle and ten years later, I am still in the jungle although I have managed to clear away some foliage, built a small hut, and gather enough food to survive. With some knowledge and tools behind me, I set my sight on the one thing that had bothered me for a long time, my eyesight.

I wanted a way to not only stabilize, but even possibly regain normal eyesight again. On my twentieth year of wearing glasses, I set out to do just that. I began to gather information about how to improve my eyesight. The mainstream scientific information is detailed, voluminous and comprehensively points to the fact that once our eyesight turns blurry, it will always be blurred. Luckily I stumbled upon a book from Dr. William H. Bates who disagreed with the mainstream opinions. He showed that it is possible to maintain our 20/20 eyesight and even reverse any problems to regain perfect eyesight. He filled his book, The Cure of Imperfect Sight by Treatment Without Glasses with great details about his experiments to prove that the oblique muscles1 focuses the image (accommodate). It tried to disprove the accepted theory that only the lens accommodates. He showed that strain cause our eyesight to be blurry (refractive errors), and shared a handful of exercises to help reduce the strain. Due to his success with improving his patients’ sight, he created an uproar in the eye care industry during the 1900’s. Unfortunately it faded. I suspect it was buried by an avalanche of articles and research by the eye care community.

If you have tried to improve your vision, you know how frustratingly slow and tedious it can get. I have tried dozens of eye exercises in hope that it would cure my nearsightedness. The vision training program was cumbersome and progress was slow with long plateaus where there is little or no improvements. They did help to slightly improve and maintain my eyesight. My prescription for the left eye (OS) was -4.75 and the right eye (OD) was -4.50, and both had some astigmatism. After two years, my prescription for the left eye (OS) was -3.5 and the right eye (OD) was -3.0, and both with slight astigmatism. It plateaued there for more than a year despite my continuous effort with the exercises. The progress was good, but far from my goal to throw away my glasses. For a lay person like me, it felt hopeless after a while.

It bothered me that the progress was so slow. I felt there was something was missing in this process to improve my eyesight, so I continued to research and to figure out why. It was a tedious journey that lead to many dead end, but persistence finally led me to an “aha!” moment. I realized that our eyes work best in certain conditions. In order to maximize results, we need to train our eyes in these conditions. I tested my theory and found that it quickly and dramatically improved my eyesight. For the first time in years, progress is fast and exhilarating. After only three and a half months, I have attained almost normal vision again. The solution is so simple yet so effective that I believe anyone can benefit from doing these simple exercises.

Looking back through the many years of finding the best and simplest way to accomplish a goal, sieving through the mountains of health knowledge for the nuggets of truth, practicing chi gong and practicing meditation have lead me to this point. All the pieces of the puzzle are in place. The timing was right for me to strip away the useless data, ideas, and complexity surrounding this eyesight problems. In the simplest way possible, I am giving you the exact knowledge and exercises you need in the Wynning Vision Program to move forward and heal your eyes.
