What prompted you to write this book?
I wanted to share my successful experience about the scientific and real possibility of lessening and even completely recovering from refractive errors. I would like, somehow, to awaken people and not only show them a way to heal their refractive errors but also to help them understand that a great many things written by academic authorities aren’t the absolute truth. Conventional glasses are not what the authorities want us to believe (a way to heal our sight) but just a palliative remedy, which does nothing else but worsen the initial refractive error.
What do you expect from your readers?
I expect everyone who has eyes for seeing to see and all those who have the ears for hearing to listen. Whoever has the sense to do it now has a new way of healing besides the famous Bates Method. Apart from the price of the book, using this method costs nothing in monetary terms. It is true that a considerable degree of personal commitment and effort is required to do the specific exercises.
Do you think that researchers in ophthalmology or the ophthalmologists themselves could react?
There is no doubt that I will not be appreciated by all those who are stuck to the old and obsolete theories on the human eye’s functioning. The human eye is often compared to a camera with fixed focusing, but it isn’t so. Eminent authors of scientific studies on this issue and all the results that I’ve achieved personally prove that it is just a “partial” concept. The eye can change its refractive status, including its focal length. Speaking in technical terms, it means that the length of an eye, and therefore its capability of focus, changes depending on the kind of stimuli it is subjected to on a regular basis (the theory of accommodative balance). Numerous studies of various animal species have proven it: myopic and hyperopic stimuli lead to myopia and hyperopia development in primates (and humans) over time.
These results are due to the proven fact that the retina undergoes specific adaptations and shifting, depending on the position of the focal point of an image. Therefore, the eye isn’t a kind of camera with fixed focusing but a very sophisticated camera with autofocusing. Working consciously on the position of focus (through suitable work with gradual retinal defocus), over time, we can get at changing the “default” adjustment. Any organ, according to the SAID (Specific Adaptation to the Imposed Demand) Principle, gets used to any stimulus if it is strong enough and repeated over time. The eyes are not an exception.
What could the professionals (ophthalmologists and the researchers on ophthalmology) be thinking? I’ve written The Secret of Perfect Vision for them too, so as to change their point of view about vision. By understanding the true meaning of the experimental data, the appreciation of the problem can change. This could lead to a broad-based scientific approach that would reduce our dependence on a minus-lens palliative and find a true and better solution by the methods advocated in this book.
The Power Vision System, the masterful use of positive lenses for myopes, may have a great effect in myopia prevention. Myopia is very common nowadays, because of our exposure to constant near-point stress (the theory of accommodative balance).
