The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent or Reverse Nearsightedness by De Angelis, David(February 26, 2008) Paperback

by David De Angelis

Author David De Angelis’s search for a cure for nearsightedness was both professional and personal, since he suffered from the disease himself. An expert in muscular work dynamics, he discovered through extensive testing and an immersion in decades of scientific studies that working the extrinsic ocular muscles could preserve sight and re-educate the eyes toward better vision. He came to understand the importance of retinal defocus for transforming ocular refractive status. In this book, the author shares both the science and the “secret”–progressive retinal defocus technique–of how he was able to reverse his own myopia. The system’s efficacy, he says, comes from the fact that it directly intervenes with the causes that generate myopia onset and development (overaccommodative/near-point stress). When adequately stimulated by the simple exercises presented in the book, ocular refractive capability leads to gradual strengthening of focusing capability and gradual decreasing of refractive error. Written in straightforward language, and featuring an extensive section on the scientific research in this field, The Secret of Perfect Vision offers a proven program of healing to the millions of people afflicted with this condition.

I disagree on the books main treatment; the Plus Lens Method;

Presbyopia (impaired close vision) and floaters are the first side effect of this unnatural method. Then more occur.

Replacing the minus lens with another type of harmful eyeglass lens (Plus Lens) is just as harmful. Close vision reading eyeglass lenses, 'Plus Lens' is a main cause of cataract and other eye problems. Senior citizens and even young people who start wearing close vision 'reading' eyeglasses develop fast, increased vision impairment, often cataract and retina health impairment. I meet many people that have developed cataract, holes in the retina, bleeding retina blood vessels causing blind spots and other eye, eye muscle impairment, strain, extreme tension in the visual system from using the 'Plus Lens Method'.

The Plus Lens Method (also know as anti-corrective or stress relieving lenses) definitely strains, freezes up the ciliary muscle and the eyes lens. This impairs circulation to, around the lens, in the lens muscle and other areas of the eye and impairs the lens health, its accommodation power. This is one main way that the plus lens method causes cataracts to develop. The glasses do not relieve stress; they increase it.

The True Bates Method of Natural Eyesight Improvement brings clear vision and healthy eyes without use of eyeglasses. Bates Method students can use a series of weaker and weaker eyeglass lenses, only if needed for driving, safety at work... until the vision reaches a safe level of clarity to permanently stop use of eyeglasses but they don't the use plus lens method. Example; a person with unclear distant vision wearing a strong minus lens can wear weaker and weaker 20/40 clarity minus eyeglass lenses as they practice Natural Eyesight Improvement and the vision improves, reverses back to clear through levels of clarity; this allows the eye muscles, visual system some relaxation and ability to reverse back to perfect clarity, complete relaxation.
Dr. Bates says NO GLASSES is the best, healthiest way to go. When a person contacts me with advanced eye problems; extreme blur, retina condition, cataract, glaucoma, astigmatism... I tell them they must "Immediately Stop Use of Eyeglasses!" Continuing the eyeglasses, even using weaker lenses can advance the eye problem, prevent a cure" Within 1-2 months after stopping eyeglasses they report improvement. Even for some people that don't use Natural Eyesight Improvement, just discontinuing eyeglasses allows the eyes to function natural, correct 'on their own' and return to good health. Cataracts, Astigmatism, Blindness, Retina holes... have been reversed and cured.

Reading Fine Print, the way Ophthalmologist Bates describes and using the eyes relaxed, correct (shifting, central-fixation) when looking at close and far objects, getting sunlight, good nutrition will relax and return all the eye muscles; outer and inner; oblique, recti, ciliary, iris, tear gland... to normal function with clear vision at all distances, healthy eyes without dangerous side effects. This is the natural, safe alternative to using eyeglasses, plus lens method.

All eyeglasses; Plus Lens, Minus Lens, Astigmatism lens, Bifocals, Sunglasses, Contacts, ALL cause and progressively increase tension, imbalance, dysfunction in the outer and inner eye muscles. Different types of eyeglass lenses; Minus, Plus, Astigmatism, Bifocal... cause more impairment, tension in specific eye muscles but always in all the eye muscles. The eye muscle tension places pressure, tension, stretching, pulling on/in the eye, retina, lens, cornea, capillaries, fluid, tear vessels, channels, nerves.., causes abnormal eye pressure impairing health of the eyes, clarity of vision. Detached retina and vitreous, glaucoma, cataract, astigmatism, myopia, far-sight, presbyopia and many other eye problems develop. The cataract can occur at any age, young or old due to wearing any type glasses including plus lens.

I have found some things in this book very enlightening. They tell the truth about the harm that eyeglasses cause, how it happens, how eye doctors lie to us, the book provides some very interesting training on eye functions. Other things in the book have improved my understanding of optics, the eyes.

The author should also tell the truth about Plus Lenses. I have found through research from the present time to back in the early 1900's that people end up using the Plus Lens Treatment for years and are still wearing eyeglasses; Plus and Minus. People that use, advise the Plus lens treatment on the Internet, in books, articles developed cataracts, astigmatism, had cataract eye surgery 2 times, Implanted myopia eyeglass prescription inside the eye, lasik surgery on the cornea for astigmatism after using this harmful method for years. They still wear glasses.

Many of the book's exercises... I find harmful, a cause of tension, strain. They are the opposite of 'natural relaxation, eye shifting movement and central-fixation'; three main natural eye functions Dr. Bates teaches that are necessary for clear eyesight, healthy eyes.

Plus lenses are reading glasses, close vision, magnifiers. I meet many seniors citizens and also younger people that have worn reading glasses for a few years or longer and it often results in cataracts, other eye damage. Eye circulation, lens, retina... health and the vision impair fast, immediately once the reading glasses are used. Ask any person that uses any type of magnifiers; it's a major cause of impaired vision. Bifocals increase the eye problems. Eye doctors often place a eyeglass prescription in cataract replacement lens inside the eye; the person is trapped with eyeglasses in the eye. This maintains, increases the strain, tension, vision impairment. As the vision becomes more impaired, the prescription in the eye becomes too weak, like trying to see through the wrong type of eyeglass lens. More surgery is sold to change the prescription.

Let the eyes go natural, complete relaxation and see better than 20/20 with the true The Bates Method of Natural Eyesight Improvement.

There is Group and Forum where the Author and co-author of the book, both who advise this Plus Lens method to children, pilots, everyone... and have used it for years since youth, posted the truth; the co-author did develop cataracts, astigmatism, has had a myopia eyeglass lens prescription implanted in his eyes during 2 cataract surgeries, had lasik on the cornea for astigmatism and still has unclear vision, still wears the plus lenses. Many other people have been injured by the plus lens method but their posts telling this truth are not allowed on the group, forum. I have saved the Group, forum pages for evidence. After years of using the Plus Lenses, both Author's still wear eyeglasses, are addicted to the Plus Lens. They should stop now, before they develop more eye injuries, blindness. Please consider what I am telling you. Save yourself and others from harm. And 'please' stop pushing the use of eyeglasses on children, pilots, everyone.

I notice someone that sells the plus lens and eye surgery on another internet forum, (IB)and constantly argues with me, drowns out all true natural eyesight improvement teachers, students helpful posts, (he posts against the Bates Method, tries to hide it from the public) has recently written a 5 star review stating the plus is safe and my review is false. His review is based on affiliate money earned from referring people to eyeglass sellers and a group of eye surgeons.

He and business partner are writing 1 star reviews of Dr. Bates books.

The true Bates Method is the safe, healthy way to see perfect 20/20 and clearer without glasses.
Avoid the eyeglasses sales people, the eye surgeons and unnatural teachers that alter/corrupt Dr. Bates Method.

Here's one of the co-authors books. Read my reviews; How to avoid nearsightedness: A scientific study of the normal eye's behavior
Another book or its the same has a picture of a pilot on the cover as the author advises pilots to wear plus lens. Many pilots vision impaired by the method. Research on the internet, few groups where people are allowed to speak the truth.

Save your sight; please avoid the plus lens and other unnatural, harmful methods.

I found this one a little difficult to follow. If you're reading this book then the chances are you're a speccy four eyes like me and you're interested in a method for improving things. I tried the Bates method about 30 years ago and it didn't work. My eyesight got worse and worse until funnily enough I stopped obsessing about it, and then it stablised. This book sounded different and I thought I'd give it a try, but I felt the method didn't really crystallise from the 200 or so pages. I should probably read it again to see if I missed anything.
