    FAQS
    Can I use The Program for Better Vision if...I'm nearsighted or farsighted? I have middle-aged sight? I have astigmatism? I'm sensitive to light? I suffer from eyestrain? I'm young? I'm old?
    People with all these visual conditions have been helped by using The Program for Better Vision. In fact, The Program is being used successfully by people from ages 8 to 90. Your age or the strength of your current glasses will not limit you - you can train yourself to have better vision.

    The Program for Better Vision is an educational approach to vision improvement. You'll learn how to develop the skills that are crucial to clear eyesight - Accommodation/Focusing, Binocularity/Convergence, Peripheral Awareness and Mental Concentration.

    The Program gives you a truly holistic approach. You'll improve by using the power of your mind as well as effective physical techniques and vision exercises. Your vision will become as clear and as sharp as it can possibly be.

    The Program for Better Vision is not the first thing to do for medical problems such as macular degeneration or cataracts. The first step to take is re-nourishment of the eyes with a powerful nutritional formula. Click for what we recommend. As you are re-nourishing your eyes use of The Program for Better Vision will help to increase the blood flow, circulation and oxygen supply to the visual system, further enhancing the value of the nutrients.

    Is The Program for Better Vision for medical problems?
    Click here if you have macular degeneration.
    Click here if you have cataracts.
    Click here if you have other medical eye problems.
    Along with taking the steps that directly address your medical eye problem, also use The Program for Better Vision. The Program will promote optimal visual health in five ways: Increase circulation, blood flow, nutrient supply and oxygen supply to all parts of the eye and help restore visual relaxation and balance.

    How do I use The Program for Better Vision?
    Each audio CD guides you through a refreshing and effective 15-20 minute Vision Session each day for an initial 8-week period. This schedule lets you confidently proceed step by step towards better vision. You can use The Program less often than every day, but you'll get the most from regular and consistent practice, however many times per week that might be.

    You will learn how to use your eyes effectively and easily throughout the day, minimizing the build-up of eye stress and possibly preventing future problems before they develop.

    How do I use my glasses or contacts while on The Program?
    You don't necessarily have to stop using glasses completely. Some people improve while using their current glasses (contacts) less and less. Others take the intermediate step of using a weaker prescription.

    The Program will show you the right way to use your glasses so that your vision improves as easily and as quickly as possible.

    Click here for detailed information about the use of glasses/contacts.

    What results can I expect?
    Within the initial 8-week period, many people see a 10% to 50% improvement. No matter how 'bad' your vision may be now - you can train yourself to have better vision. In your next consultation with your optometrist, your prescription may become weaker and you'll be using your glasses less; you may even be able to stop using them altogether!

    You will see more clearly, with less effort, and you will also experience better memory, sharper concentration, more vivid imagination and a more positive self-image. And, as you continue, the greater the changes can be.

    Who created The Program for Better Vision?
    Martin Sussman, president and founder of the Cambridge Institute for Better Vision, created The Program for Better Vision. Since 1976, more than 250,000 people have contacted him for help with their vision.

    Isn't nearsightedness (myopia) caused by the shape of the eye?
    Sure, that's one common belief, but in fact it's a misconception. This limited view of vision says that if the eye is too long that is supposed to cause nearsightedness; if it’s too short that is supposed to cause farsightedness; and if the shape of the eye is distorted, that causes astigmatism.

    But the shape of the eye is only one element of the entire visual system, and it is not the only one that determines how clearly you see. Besides, has anyone ever asked how the eye becomes the wrong shape?

    There are three real causes of poor vision: First, the visual habit patterns that a person has developed - how the visual centers of the brain work with the eyes; second, tension in the eyes and body, and third, mental and emotional stress and strain and patterns of not seeing.

    To get better vision you want to re-train the way that the brain uses the eyes and restore the proper visual habits necessary for clearer vision.

    Sometimes, when a person’s vision improves, the shape of the eye changes. Sometimes it is because the lens becomes more flexible and can adjust more easily to focus at different distances. And other times, there are other factors at play in the improvement.

    The main thing to understand is that the shape and function of the eyes aren't frozen.
    If you were told that exercises and training could change the shape of your nose, that would be nonsense. But if you were told that it's possible to change your waistline, that makes sense. Your eyes are more like your waistline than your nose!

    To improve nearsightedness, try the Program for Better Vision.

    SUCCESS STORIES:

    The best she's seen:
    "I have looked over and purchased several different programs and yours is by far the best, most knowledgeable and most comprehensive."
    Marianne Carduner, Ft. Lauderdale FL

    Passes driver's test in only five weeks:
    "Before I started The Program I wore my glasses 14-15 hours every single day. I passed my driver's test without them only five weeks after starting The Program. Now, I never need glasses at all. I feel much more confident and free. It's a great Program!"
    Donna Sanders, Havre MT

    73 years young and seeing better:
    "I am 73 years old and have been wearing glasses since I was 27 - almost 50 years. I've been using The Program for just eight weeks now and already I notice improvement! I can see road signs more easily as well as smaller print on the TV. My peripheral vision is better and colors seem more vibrant and clear. I'm very excited - practice really brings results. The Program makes it easy to get improvement."
    Horace Kirk, Ceres CA

    Passes driver's test, reads without glasses:
    "At 55 years of age, I passed my driver's test without glasses for the first time in 35 years. I no longer need glasses for reading, either. All this in about 6 to 9 months."
    Albert Rioux, Jr., Manchester NH

    Distance vision is better now:
    "I was nearsighted and started wearing glasses when I was 17 years old. After using The Program for Better Vision I can see - without glasses - in the distance much clearer than I every could before.
    "When I wake up in the morning my eyesight is crystal clear. It fades a little as the day goes on, but I feel that I have already crossed a major hurdle towards clearer vision. I know that I am in control of my eyesight and I plan on continuing with The Program."
    Jeffrey White, Vernon CT

    Trifocals are weaker by more than 50%:
    "My trifocal prescription was plus 2.25 when I started; now I read much of the time with no glasses, and when I use corrective lenses they are usually plus 1.0. If the light is poor I use plus 1.5. I wore my glasses all the waking hours before, but now only when I read and much of the time not even then. I plan to continue the program until I am completely free of corrective lenses."
    Gerald N. Cox, Rapid City SD

    Coke-bottle glasses almost completely gone:
    "I started wearing glasses when I was 7 or 8 years old and my vision kept deteriorating until I was very nearsighted and wearing coke-bottle glasses. (My prescription was -6.00.) Eye doctors had given up on my vision. One year ago I started using The Program for Better Vision and now I have flashes of perfectly clear vision at times! My current vision without eyeglasses is consistently 20/60 or better. My eye doctor is absolutely astonished and amazed at my improvement. All the exercises have been helpful, particularly the affirmations, and I know I can have absolutely perfect eyesight very soon."
    Frances Sgarlatti, Edgewater CO

    Astigmatism disappears, nearsightedness improves:
    "Even though I haven't been consistent in using The Program for Better Vision, I went back to my eye doctor and he told me that my astigmatism has completely disappeared and that my nearsightedness has improved too! Now, I only use my glasses for distance and for a driver's license restriction, and my eye doctor states that I am very close to getting the restriction removed. I'm so excited about my results that I plan on using The Program more regularly."
    Tronnie Brassfield, Plano TX

    85-year-old reverses amblyopia and astigmatism:
    "I now know the muscles of my eyes as well as the fingers of my hand. I am 85 years old and can focus very well and read for a long time without fatigue. Using The Program for Better Vision, I am recovered from amblyopia and astigmatism."
    Aldo Mortera, Boulogne France

    Has lower prescription:
    "I saw dramatic results. I went down to a lower prescription, which I had been using six years ago. I used to feel a desperation about my vision. Now I feel hope I had never dreamed of. My vision is more relaxed and images are sharper and clearer."
    Carlos Escajeda, Fabens TX

    More relaxed and more conscious, and aware:
    "I like how my eyes feel softer and more relaxed. I am more conscious of relaxing my eyes and my mental state. This is a valuable observation. The Program is comprehensive and well thought out. I'd recommend it!"
    Adrian Palmer, Salt Lake City UT

    Helps vision by releasing traumatic memories:
    "Thanks to your program, my eye muscles, focusing ability, eye coordination, memory, and ability to visualize have been strengthened.
    "Due to my strengthened ability to visualize, I had some very strong dreams. These dreams were very important because they revealed to me some events that happened early in my childhood. Due to the traumatic nature of those events, I, without knowing, blocked them from my memory.
    "In addition, I'm more relaxed, and my ability to see better has improved greatly. My eye doctor tested my vision and it has improved by 25% in just two months."
    D.W., Atlantic City NJ

    Reduces use of glasses, holds reading material further away:
    "When I first started The Program, I wore my glasses all the time. After the first 8 weeks, I was able to reduce my wearing time to 8 hours a day.
    "My vision is improving and my eyes feel so much better. I can now hold the reading material farther away and still see clearly. I feel that if my improvement so far is any indication, I have every reason to continue The Program."
    Nita Gause, San Diego CA

    Was 20/200, now has clear flashes:

    Impresses family with changes:

    Mardelle McClure, Lake Jackson TX

    Stimulates mind, improves attitudes:
    "I have experienced major improvement in my visual attitude. The Program stimulates the mind, which is the key to everything, not just clear vision. I was impressed with The Program and with the people I spoke to at the Institute."
    Lawrence Merkler, Morrisville PA

    Grateful for deep healing of painful memories:
    "I was pleasantly surprised and very grateful for the depth and scope of this program. Especially the healing techniques involved, even to the healing of memories. Now I can see more clearly for longer periods of time with less strain. I intend to never, never wear glasses again."
    Michele Largey, Waltham MA

    Donald Drake, Niagara Falls NY

    Needs glasses less than before:
    "When I first started The Program, I wore my glasses all the time. After the first 8 weeks, I was able to experience periods of clear vision and reduce my wearing time to 5 hours a day. Thank you again - this program is a precious stepping stone for me in my rise to clearer vision."
    Claire Morneau, Montreal, Quebec, CANADA

    Uses weaker prescription:
    "I've worn glasses since age 7. So at first I was frustrated without wearing them, but now I enjoy not wearing glasses. The Program showed me how much more beautiful we all can be and see without glasses. It did help me to get 20/40 glasses, and I'm sure that using weaker lenses had something to do with my success."
    Richard Hamre, Basel, Switzerland

    Passes driver's test without glasses:
    "I don't need glasses anymore. I passed my driver's test without them after only four months!"
    Carolyn Zelenka, Topsfield MA

    Eyes feel better every week:

    Robert Coddington, Eugene OR

    L. Dirksen, Pacific Grove CA

    Has metaphysical experience:
    "I was amazed to discover that my brain can command my eyes to focus. One of the sessions is a beautiful metaphysical experience for me. I find the exercises bring me new answers and insight every time I do them. Thank you for your program and all it has meant to me."
    Stephanie Collins, Las Vegas NV

    Has perfect vision now:
    "I went from wearing glasses all the time to tested 20/20 vision."
    Pat Boll, Hartford CT

    Dramatic improvement:
    "I have been wearing glasses/contacts for over 40 years and wanted to let you know how much my eyes have improved since I have been using your program. My right eye went from -3.75 to -1.75 and my left eye went from -2.50 to -.50.
    The exercises are easy enough - I have the beaded line in my bathroom so I can use it almost every morning. The book that came with the system is close at hand which reminds me which exercises I need to do.
    Glad I can share with others - follow the instructions because they work! Thanks so much!"
    Marilyn Schroeter, Morton IL
