Natural Vision Improvement
With Joy Thompson Natural Vision Educator
Natural Vision Improvement (NVI)
practices are important to anyone who cares about the health of their eyes
and wants to preserve this most precious of all senses: Eyesight.
NVI is also for people who want to
improve conditions of near-sightedness, (myopia) far-sightedness, (presbyopia)
astigmatism, or other visual conditions, and also for those who wish to
lessen or eliminate their dependency on prescription glasses or contacts.
There is nothing ‘normal’ about using lenses in order to see – our eyes
were meant to be able to see and focus clearly, for life! Just as we need
to learn how to best preserve the health of our bodies, skin, and other
internal functioning, we need to understand our visual systems and how to
protect and keep our vision as strong and clear as possible, for life.
Using prescription lenses or contacts in
order to see clearly introduces the real possibility of eyes becoming
dependent on the lenses used, and therefore, inevitably weaker. This is
the reason why people usually find themselves in a downward spiral once
they begin using lenses; the prescriptions often get stronger and
stronger, while unaided vision gets fuzzier and weaker.
It is completely possible, at any stage
of visual deterioration, and at any age, to improve the health of our eyes
and to lessen or eliminate dependency on lenses for seeing. Lenses,
contacts and surgery correct the visual error without addressing the
actual cause of the visual problem, which therefore, often re-occurs.
Natural Vision Improvement utilizes a
system of practices and exercises which strengthen and tone the visual
system in order for us to see clearly, unaided, as we were meant to see.
There is nothing natural about wearing glasses – they are a crutch which
can be helpful at times, but then must be removed in order for the eyes to
heal.
Our eyes are the only openings in our
bodies where light enters. Glasses or contacts inhibit and distort this
light so that we don’t receive stimulation of the full spectrum when using
our glasses. We now know and are learning more and more about the fact
that light is critical to our physical, emotional and spiritual health.
Regardless of your degree of near- or
far- sightedness, astigmatism, or other visual diseases or woes, your eyes
will benefit greatly from using a Natural Vision program to relax and
strengthen them. What could be more important than protecting and
strengthening this most important part of our bodies, so that we can see
as well as possible, all of our lives?
Think about it: “If the rest of the
body can heal when ill or injured, why not the eyes?”
- Wm. Bates, author of “Better Eyesight Without Glasses” and creator of
the Bates Method of Natural Vision Improvement.
Teachers and students of the Bates method
have proven over and over again that the eyes can and do heal, once there
is an awareness of how to care for them and nurture their functioning
through safe, natural methods. Don’t your eyes deserve this kind of care?
For less than the cost of one pair of
corrective lenses, you can become your own vision therapist and keep your
eyes healthy for life!
