1. Introduction

Vision is the most precious of our senses. You see the splendor of a sunset, you see the smile on the face of someone you love and you see the innocence in the eyes of a child. Mother Nature has made certain that this sense is perfectly developed as we grow up. It may come as a surprise to you to hear that eyesight acuity is actually a skill we learn as we mature, and that the eyes of an infant are not fully developed. A baby begins to recognize colors at the age of about 4 months. Hand and eye co-ordination develop next and then co-ordination between eyes and body. At about 12 months of age babies begin to walk and from then on their vision continues to develop in the way that nature intended.

I am writing this book based on my own experience of wearing glasses for more than 25 years. Initially, like most people, I believed there was nothing that could be done about failing eyesight. It seemed that it was just a consequence of growing old – the only thing in question being whether hair or eyes would go first. At the time, 1991, my eyesight measured 5.5 diopters of near-sight. That means it was necessary for me to wear glasses for most things, including reading. In fact I needed two pairs of glasses, one for reading and another for distance.

A friend of mine had been working on improving his eyesight, but he had been trying for three years and was still wearing glasses. Long-term projects do not appeal to me. I like to feel that I am making progress in 20 minutes or less, otherwise I am not interested. I don’t expect to have 20/20 vision after just one exercise, but I do want to sense that I am progressing and not just imagining that something is happening. So the approach I teach works fast.

In 1990 I became interested in something called neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). A seminal book in that field is Trance-formations, by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. The book is basically a transcript of a hypnosis seminar. On page 177 the authors describe a regression where they take a client back into their childhood. As we know, as children we generally have perfect eyesight. In a flash of inspiration, Grinder brought the client back to the present, but with the eyesight of his childhood. Suddenly the client was able, as in his childhood, to see without glasses.

I was very excited about this. Imagine what it would be like if you could visit a hypnotherapist and emerge, after a mere hour, with perfect eyesight. Unfortunately, the universe had other ideas, since I could not find anyone who could lead me through this process. However, my interest was aroused because I concluded that there must be a way of regaining one’s eyesight naturally.

Initially I played around with visualization exercises and they helped to a degree. However, I wanted to be completely cured and altogether eliminate the need for lenses. So I continued my quest for a way to recover my innate natural vision.

One Friday night I was going through the books I had acquired and happened to pick up one about healing with energy. In this book there was an exercise that was supposed to be good for near-sight. So I tried it and immediately felt that my eyes were becoming stronger. I continued doing this exercise every two hours and, eureka, the next day, after lunch, I was able to read without glasses. I have never needed reading glasses since. Throughout the weekend I continued with the exercise and on Monday morning I decided to go to work without glasses. I took a train and, as far as I know, there were no accidents that day! I was determined to keep the glasses off until after lunch at least. By lunchtime my eyes were very tired. If you have a high degree of near-sight you will know that taking off your glasses makes your eyes feel weary very quickly. However, I continued practicing the energy exercise and was gradually able to keep the glasses off for longer and longer periods. By the end of the week I was able to manage without glasses for the whole day. From then on I kept the glasses in my pocket, only taking them out to use as a magnifying glass on the A–Z if I needed to pick up someone from the airport. I did not want my subconscious mind to get any ideas that I wasn’t serious about this.

From then on my vision kept improving and after another two weeks I could recognize people on the other side of the street, so my social life picked up once again. I did nothing about my eyes for the next five years and more or less forgot that I had ever worn glasses. Then, in 1995, I attended a month-long NLP Master Practitioner training at the NLP University, Santa Cruz, California. During the program I mentioned to my friends that I used to wear glasses. They appeared to be very interested and urged me to tell them what I did to achieve this seemingly remarkable feat. So I planned an evening talk and no less than 60 people showed up. This was an eye-opener (!) for me. Until then I had not realized that so many people were interested in getting rid of their glasses.

The following year, 1996, I was back at the NLP University for another course. This time we were required to have a “modeling project” – some area of excellence that we could explore and then develop a way of transferring this knowledge to others. At the time I did not know anyone who had regained their eyesight so there was nobody I could ask to help me with this. I decided that I would model myself and use my own experience as the basis for a new approach to curing near-sight. At this time I started buying books on how to recover your eyesight, such as William Bates’ Seeing without Glasses (1920) and Janet Goodrich’s Natural Vision Improvement (1986). From these I learned about the techniques of palming, sunning and so on.

By this point, I had come to the conclusion that it was prudent to have an understanding of any underlying beliefs that could be getting in the way of having clear eyesight. This was probably because, by then, I had learned effective ways of regressing people back in time. I uncovered a lot of interesting information about the kinds of life experiences that could have an impact on one’s eyesight. Mostly it boiled down to innocent conclusions made by the mind of a child. For example, one little boy was moved from one school to another as an 8-year-old and as a consequence he lost all his friends. Another child uncovered a memory about taking a dislike to a teacher. Some of the experiences involved people seeing things they were not supposed to see. Others concerned events happening in their lives that they did not like but were powerless to do anything about. When I first started putting workshops together, I was convinced that about half of those attending would need subsequent personal one-on-one sessions in order to help them to see their beliefs for what they are and become free of these limitations.

In the process of creating the workshops I started learning about other kinds of common vision problems. For example, at the time I had no idea what astigmatism was, much less what to do about it. In the process of learning about different conditions, I started figuring out what exercises could be of help.

Before the lunch break on the first workshop, one myopic participant found that he could read the 20/20 line on the eye-chart, as well as the small print. This was a great pat on the back and I realized that most of the participants could benefit from my program. Coincidences and small miracles kept occurring and I was invited to more and more places to present the workshop. Since 1996 I have presented about 25 workshops per year in cities around the world. For example, I have given the workshop more than 25 times in London. Often I meet people who tell me they had wanted to come to my workshop for years before an opportunity presented itself.

I prefer the workshop approach to one-on-one sessions. This is because in 14 hours you will experience and learn more about your eyesight than I can possibly teach in an hour. Group dynamics are helpful in encouraging and motivating people to go away and actually do the exercises. It is not only a matter of getting the information, but also about realizing that you have more power than you think over your own eyesight and that there are steps you can take to improve it. The intended outcome of the workshop is that participants will discover the fact that they have control over their own eyesight and will get to know exactly what exercises they have to do and what results to expect.

I do not intend to play down the amount of work that is needed, which in some cases will mean doing eye exercises for years. What I do promise is that you will experience progress – your eyes will show you that they can improve and change. Scientific research shows that your eyesight has improved if you can see and identify five letters one line lower than previously on the eye-chart. In my workshop many people report seeing three or even four lines lower at the end of the session. Incidentally, as you descend the eye-chart, each line that you drop represents a 5 percent improvement in visual acuity. Experiencing a 10 to 20 percent observable and measurable improvement in just two days is a considerable achievement. On one occasion, in Berlin, we had an optometrist measuring people’s eyesight before and after the workshop. One woman’s eyesight measured 2 diopters less on Sunday evening before she went home. What is remarkable about this lady is that she was 92 years old!

Children respond even more rapidly. I have often seen children regain their...
