Take Off Your Glasses and See: A Mind/Body Approach to Expanding Your Eyesight and Insight

For 3 months now I have been on a journey of natural eyesight improvement. I have learned plenty about eyesight from a different holistic optometrist and nutritionist .I have been doing eye exercices , became mostly vegetarian for the past year but the hardest part toward recovery is the emotional part. I got this book hoping it would help me understand more about the mental/emotional side of eyesight problems. So while reading this book I realized I already knew and had been practicing most of the eye exercises. This book just offered a different perspective . But the most valuable part of this book is that it deepened the knowledge I already had about natural vision improvement and it added more information to what I already know. there were many times when I couldn't put it down because I was so impressed to realize how things work. While it does focus more on the nearsightedness which is not my situation, I did appreciate the emotional insight . I highly recommend the book . If you have no knowledge on this matter , it will change your life. If you are like me and you already started a journey of eyesight improvement, this book will deepen your understanding. Thank you Dr L for sharing this precious information with us. Fabulous book ! Absolutely loved seeing the perspective of an optometrist! Again! I already started doing the things he tells us to do 3 months prior to reading this book. This book confirmed I was doing the right thing switching from contacts to glasses , and wearing the glasses as little as possible only when needed. I already went down from +3 and +5.25 to +2.50 at each eye. In. just 3 months. Getting close to being able to read with +2 soon.

I was drawn to this book as I recently finished 10 months of vision therapy for a sudden onset of convergence excess (where my eyes began to turn/rest inward) which caused a terrifying list of symptoms I had never experienced before. It's one thing to not be able to see clearly and get glasses, it's a completely different experience to see 20/20 but have your eyes stop working together properly...I genuinely felt like I was losing my mind and or dying! Lol it sounds dramatic, but it was a very real and traumatic time. One of the authors quotes, "vision difficulties can often be the challenge that stimulates a healing transformation" has never rang more true in my life.I learned lots in VT and it did help my situation immensely, but this book OPENED MY EYES..I only wish I had read it before therapy! I was able to clearly determine WHY my eyes did what they did after a traumatic event 3 months prior. This book was so intriguing and insightful! I loved the mind/body approach, and could seriously go on and on about what I learned and what was confirmed in me as I have done other research before this. I have recommended this to all my family members/friends and will absolutely be applying this truth in my every day life! I already feel more "open" and aware than I ever had because of reading this. Order it and be ready to think differently about your vision and how intertwined it is with your entire life.

First of all, let me preface this review by saying that I do not usually write reviews unless a book has really affected me in a positive way. This book definitely falls into that category.My husband and I (both mildly myopic) purchased this book with the hopes of obtaining some exercises we could perform to strengthen our eyes to the point where we could ditch our glasses and contacts. This book does contain some great exercises (my husband did indeed improve his eyes and no longer wears glasses). The book also, however, contains so much more.I was fascinated to read Liberman's explanations of various causes for why one's eyes would deteriorate in the first place. I definitely see how many of the causes he outlines apply to me. I notice how, for instance, that when I think hard or focus strongly upon something, I end up with headaches and my vision becomes worse. I love that Liberman also includes techniques for alleviating these issues and thus improving how the eyes see and process information.By using the techniques in this book, I have significantly cut down on how often I need my contacts (only about once per week now). I am still working to eliminate them for good, but I feel confident that I will be able to.This book is a very thorough, well-done treatise on how the eyes work, the intricate connection between the eyes and the mind, and how to improve one's vision naturally. Liberman has a definite talent for presenting technical information in an engaging, easy-to-understand manner. This book offers a great alternative for those seeking to correct their vision through natural means.

I've enjoyed the book and used the exercises to improve my eyesight care routine. Indeed, while we do take care of all the other body parts, somehow, we ignore our eyes (other than going to the optometrist to get new prescription/glasses...that's not eye care, that's bandaging at best).

Este livro é bom para quem está interessado em novos insights sobre a visão, mas também em novas formas de viver e ver a vida. Muito interessante :)

I have read only about half the book and find it inspiring. I have very strong myopia and have begun using public transportation without my glasses (which I wouldn't even imagine doing before reading the book).

I gave up my specs after reading this book. Definitely worth reading especially if your point has been increasing.I don't even remember the defect in my eyes. It was around -1 in both eyes. Now specs free for 7 years. Natural healing of eyes is possible.

Comprehensive book on how to improve reading vision and non reading vision without glasses .
