The Read Clearly Naturally Kit  For Presbyopia



A comprehensive programme for over-40's reading blur (also known as presbyopia), this Kit will get you started and help you maintain your good vision programme for life.

The RCN Kit includes cds with audio lessons and activities, instruction manual, pinhole glasses, eye charts and more.

"The RCN Kit is a really fantastic package! In a short time (5 days) I can definitely feel how improvement will take place, and it’s already helping to change my habits for the better. The self-evaluation process really made me realize where my vision is at and that now is the time to take action.

I was thinking I was powerless about my eyesight, and just the knowledge that I can take control over the situation is really important to me. It’s so simple and straight-forward, yet informative and life-changing.  And you can do it anywhere, anytime." Lorelle Fisher, Qld Australia

"The PET programme CLEARLY explains in detail how perfect eyesight can be achieved by working holistically with one's health.

This is an incredibly well put together programme with huge insight into the characteristics that make up the myopic personality."  Sue Ferguson, Qld Australia

NEW!  Eye Power:  Power your Eyes... Empower your Vision  by Barry Auchettl
 
Eye Power is an ebook that changes how you "see" the world with an eye exercise program that just takes 10 minutes per day. I have just edited the second edition and have found little need for any major change to what has been a very successful program.
 
I believe that this ebook is of value for both the information included and as a financial opportunity for the vision educators. 

I am offering vision educators an opportunity to join this world wide alliance program that gives you a 50% profit from all sales of the ebook sold through their connections.  The retail price is only $10 per ebook, and as I am using conscious business principles, would like to tithe $1 from every book sold this way to AVE.

The Fundamentals of Natural Vision Improvement by William H. Bates, M.D.
Compiled by Esther Joy van der Werf.
(2010) ISBN 978-1-935894-00-1

The Bates Method Nuggets are the golden nuggets of the Bates Method of natural eyesight improvement. These are true gems, in their original form, the way Dr. William H. Bates published them in his monthly Better Eyesight magazines in the 1920s.

Rather than reading the huge volume of information of all the magazines, Bates Method Nuggets contains the essence in a compact form. The various parts of the method are sorted by subject, and step by step they provide you with a clear picture of the Bates Method in an easy and logical flow.

This book can be used as an easy reference guide to the Bates Method, and is very useful to newcomers to the method as well as to long-time Bates fans. You get the best of Dr. Bates' writings from the ten years after he published his book!
 Paperback, 128 pages, US$15.00

This is the very best information on improving eyesight naturally.

If you've only ever read the 1920 book "Perfect Sight Without Glasses" you may think that you know the Bates Method.  However, the information and case histories in this complete and unedited magazine collection will bring you to a much deeper level of understanding.  These magazines reflect Dr Bates' own growth and increased skills as he continued to develop his methods of achieving clear vision for his patients during the 10 years following the publication of his book.  
You'll be amazed and inspired, you'll learn and understand.  Clear vision will have a new meaning.

Elsewhere the first half of the unedited collection of Dr Bates' Better Eyesight Magazines is sold for US$150.00.

The Read Without Glasses Method DVD
The simple way to reverse middle age sight (presbyopia)

     Many of you may be familiar with Dr. Ray Gottlieb's method to reverse middle age sight and help people get out of annoying reading glasses. For years, Dr. Gottlieb has been showing his method to vision teachers at conferences and symposiums, but there has never been an effective, easy-to-learn way for everyone to benefit from this amazing method that produces results in as little as 6 minutes a day.
     Until now! Produced by Martin Sussman and the Cambridge Institute for Better Vision, the Read Without Glasses Method DVD (which includes 2 special eye charts) outlines the step-by-step, two part process of Dr. Gottlieb's method. The DVD includes Dr. Gottlieb demonstrating the method, an in-depth review, advanced ways to use the method and troubleshooting tips.

Board Certified in Vision Therapy

Why listen to audio material for improving vision?

During the past 35 years, I have used recorded suggestions to alter inner perceptual realities for my patients. By listening to CD’s, you are able to reprogram inner limiting beliefs you have about your eyes and vision. Your brain stores this information. By re-listening for 30 to 90 days you are re-programming your brain cells so your eyes can enjoy healthier functioning. You will see the changes in your clearer eyesight.

There is a special self-healing CD for each eye condition. In addition, you can listen to a special CD called LETTING GO and REGENERATE.

Self-Healing CD’s:
Glaucoma
Cataracts
Iris Conditions
Floaters
Macular Degeneration
Retinitis Pigmentosa
Retinal Conditions
Optic Nerve Conditions
Corneal Conditions
Nearsightedness
Astigmatism
Farsightedness
Relax and See

Seeing Without Glasses- Four CD’s
These CD’s take you through a sequenced adventure that helps you master the vision fitness games while you are walking, cooking, or riding in a car. Via a coaching process, these practices give you the understanding of ways to improve your vision. The repetitious learning enables you to develop new habits of seeing clearly. You will use each separately and then integrate with both eyes. Thereafter, you play a twenty-minute maintenance CD to continue your progress.

Each CD costs $25. Buy any 5 for $100. (Mailage and shipping in North America included. GST and PST Taxes in Canada will be added.)
