Bad Eyesight
How He Beat It: Optical calisthenics
Twenty-six-year-old Orlin Sorensen dreamed of flying combat
missions like his grandfather, but his 20/80 eyesight kept
him below standards for naval flight training (20/30, no glasses
or surgeries allowed). Commercial airlines, however, aren't
as strict -- for several years, Sorensen flew for Horizon
Air while wearing glasses. Then came September 11, leaving
the airline industry decimated and Sorensen flying a lot less.
"I was bummed, but I decided to try to turn my life around,"
he says.
He used the time to put a curiosity to the test: Can a man
improve his vision by "exercising" his eyes? Inspired by World
War II fighter pilots who used vision-training exercises,
and by a 1920 book by Dr. William Bates (The Bates Method
for Better Eyesight without Glasses), Sorensen stockpiled
information until he had enough exercises to begin his own
program. "I trained my eyes to do things they don't normally
do," Sorensen says. "I treated the program like physical exercise."
He "worked out" 25 minutes a day, 6 days a week, for 30 days,
doing exercises like slowly rolling his eyes in a full circle.
The results? The navy measured his vision at 20/30, he no
longer needs glasses, and he's been accepted for pilot training.
Make It Work for You: Improving your sight by retraining
your eye muscles is "very doable," says William Moskowitz,
F.C.O.V.D., an optometrist who has helped scores of
patients with vision training at the Park Vision Therapy
Center in Bridgewater, New Jersey...

The Rebuild Your Vision program can help to improve
common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness,
astigmatism, and aging vision (presbyopia).
The exercises and techniques are designed to
strengthen and relax the muscles of your eye just as you would
any other weak part of your body, improving your vision and
helping you to see clearly -- naturally.
The catch is dedicating 25 minutes a day to
the exercises and techniques. The program is very easy-to-follow
and is laid out in a step-by-step, minute-by-minute format.
Once you receive the package you can begin the exercises within
10-15 minutes. Most people see a marked improvement within
the first few weeks, with significant improvements in the
following 2-3 months.
Even very high degrees of correction can be
helped with our program. It may just take more time and dedication
on your part. The exercises have been designed to be adjusted
for all ranges of clarity.
You can still take advantage of our special
$79 offer which includes the entire Rebuild Your Vision
program, the 2 free bonuses, and our unconditional 6-month
guarantee. It's available at http://www.rebuildyourvision.com
