The Experience of a Fool: Who Had an Epiphany About How to Get Rid of His Glasses by Mirzakarim Norbekov
As an optometrist and orthoptist, I encountered this book in a city library. I read it in its entirety, without skipping any sections.
The book is written in simple language, making it easy to read. However, at times, the author’s tone can be somewhat irritating, especially when he addresses the reader directly, assuming they might be offended by being called a “fool.”
Approximately 60% of the book delves into esoteric bullshit, where the author seems to enjoy hearing himself talk. There are instances of misogynistic undertones, with women portrayed through stereotypes, suggesting their primary life goal is to find a man. For example, Norbekov shares an anecdote from his lectures where a woman interrupts, asking when they will finally discuss healing. After completing the course, she finds a husband, becomes happy, and establishes two private schools free of charge. Whether she healed remains unclear, but she has a husband, so congratulations.
Regarding the method to eliminate glasses, Norbekov claims his technique can cure myopia, hyperopia, cataracts (consistently misspelled in the Czech translation and not translated into the Czech equivalent, leaving readers unaware of what it is), and even optic nerve atrophy. He measures success by the reduction of diopters. However, for someone with optic nerve atrophy, diopters are hardly the main concern. In the Czech translation, it’s mentioned that cataracts are resolved by addressing an inorganic mineral in the eye, with the eye’s lens translated as a “crystal.”
Norbekov suggests that vision deterioration occurs when one doesn’t want to see something from the past, present, or future, leading to blurred vision as a form of escape. The remedy involves feeling like a person with a capital “P,” loving oneself, smiling, maintaining good posture, and ignoring those who claim this is nonsense. He labels such skeptics as lazy fools who wish to harm you.
The positive mindset should be complemented with spinal exercises and some eye exercises, focusing on ocular motility (or eye yoga) and shifting focus between near and far objects—a challenge for those with eye diseases. These exercises are interspersed with relaxation techniques, like warming your hands and placing them over your eyes. Vision improvement is said to occur in a sinusoidal pattern, alternating between better and worse moments, so as not to be discouraged—a rather convenient explanation. And if your vision doesn’t improve, it’s because you didn’t believe enough…
Norbekov applies this approach of positive and clearly defined focus on illness to address all diseases. In essence, it’s esoteric nonsense.
A noteworthy aspect is that the author consistently insults the reader, claiming this is the only way to motivate them to take action. However, when criticizing corporations that produce glasses and referencing university research that supposedly supports his claims, he omits identifying details, fearing it might upset someone.
⸻
In conclusion, while the book is easy to read, its content is filled with unscientific claims and questionable perspectives, making it a dubious resource for those seeking genuine methods to improve their vision.

I this Noberkov's humour is contagious, smart and sharp.
I love his points and everything he has mentioned in the book. Literally EYE-opening!

I quite enjoyed the optimism and the insight on how to generate motivation from within. Now, the parts with numerous practical exercises seem more suitable for groups or during the actual classes he gives. Maybe that’s why I’m still wearing glasses :) So feel free to try them out and let me know the outcome !
