Seeing Without Glasses: A Step-By-Step Approach To Improving Eyesight Naturally

It is as easy to develop "vision-fitness" as it is to tone and strengthen other parts of the body. You can improve your vision through unique exercises, proper diet, and even by modifying your thought patterns, according to Dr. Robert-Michael Kaplan, author of Seeing Without Glasses and an international authority in vision training. Over 100 million Americans are nearsighted and at least six out of ten depend on glasses or contacts to correct their vision. Even those with healthy eyesight experience eyestrain from vision stress.

This was absolutely not what I was expecting... started chuckling when they presented a table relating different eye diseases to vaguely horoscope-like descriptions.... I was laughing when they said being left by your father can cause right eye vision problems because it's controlled by the left brain and that's the masculine side... ABSOLUTELY LOST IT when they listed TWO PAGES of eyesight affirmations... I would not have minded if this was promoted as psychological self help instead of strict vision improvement.

That being said, the funniest affirmations for me were:

My vision is improving every day
I love my blur
I look forward to seeing less blur
It is OK for my eyes to see

This books only had value as a collectible that exemplifies what sorts of quackery and pseudoscience could be published in the past, and can still be published today in 2026.

What the book’s author suggests that vision problems could be fixed or improved using entirely unscientific methods he borrowed from various traditional medicine and from the holistic “medicine” pile of nonsense. Over the years his claims have been evaluated by many optometrists and other educated persons and most of them agree that what he claimed is just nonsense.

If you have vision problems go to an optometrist, or an ophthalmologist. Get glasses or the surgery. Don’t waste time on pseudo medicine.

for the person who laughed abt the father (or family relations, stress, trauma or psychology issues) contributed to the eyesight and the affirmations, I have different opinion than you. I am very into TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and it seems like the author incorporates eastern style into his book, which I’d say very valid. In eastern believe those things contribute to health, I will not say I agree with the writer 100% because I haven’t seen the result or did his advices to give 5 stars.

Simple exercises and advice that really work, if you do the work.
