of those "eye crutches". My husband and I managed to improve our eyesight quite a bit

in the last few years, and so this is what this video is going to be about. It's not

that difficult, all you need is just a bit of self-motivation and a bit of effort, and

you can get your eyesight back, too. So let's get started. Three or four years ago we discovered

this book called "The Secret Of Perfect Vision" by David de Angelis. He's an Italian doctor

who had myopia or short-sightedness. He decided to get rid of it naturally by using eye exercises

instead of wearing eye crutches. And he succeeded! So this book is all about what he learned

in his journey. He's not a doctor, he's a lawyer, so he had to prove his ideas. It's

all about different scientific data and experiments, just to prove his point. But you don't have

to read the whole book. All you need is just the part where he explains the exercises and

what you need to do. Or just keep watching this video and I'll tall you what to do as

well. This book is amazing. I highly recommend it. If you have eyesight problems or if you're

a parent and your kid is developing eyesight problems or is already wearing glasses, it's

brilliant. My husband at the beginning of the experiment had around -5, and I had around

-2.5 to -3. I've never really worn glasses, just because I didn't like the idea, and I

don't drive, so that's OK. If I wanted to drive, I would have to wear glasses. But just

for every day life or for walking around, for being at home, it's perfectly fine. I'm

glad I never started wearing glasses because if I did, my eyesight would be much worse

now. My husband managed to cut his prescription in half, and now it's -2.50 in one eye and

-3 in the other one. So that's amazing. And I managed to reach around -1 to -1.5. So that's

also half of my prescription. But we're going to restart the exercising again because we

took a long break. We both want to reach zero. We really want to have perfect vision and

I can see it in sight It's totally possible, you just need to persevere. So here's my story.

When I was around 11 or 12, they took all of our class at school to the hospital for

a check up. My best friend and I both had the same kind of eyesight. it wasn't very

bad. It was probably around -3.5 or -4. But the nurse scared us to death because she said

if we don't start wearing glasses right now, we're going to get blind in a year's time

or something like that. I was so scared I didn't even tell my parents about it for a

long time, until they found out by themselves. But basically, the moral is that I didn't

start wearing glasses because I didn't tell my parents, I kept going the way I was, and

I never got blind, and my eyesight actually got better and better with each year. Instead,

my best friend started wearing glasses and her eyesight got worse and worse and worse.

Now I think she has around -6 or -7. The point is when you're a kid and your eyes are still

growing, if you start wearing glasses, your eyesight will definitely get worse until you

stop growing. If you're an adult and you start wearing glasses, there won't be such a huge

difference. But if you're a kid, it will definitely make a huge difference. So if you are a parent

and you have kids who are starting to develop any kind of eyesight problems, please take

them to eye exercises or teach them how to do these eye exercises. But don't buy eye

crutches for them. Because if you do, their eyesight will just keep getting worse. So

definitely definitely definitely don't do that to your kids. But even if you're an adult,

you can still improve it naturally with these exercises. Why are there so many people in

the world still wearing glasses? I think there are 4 reasons. So first of all, it's all about

the money, obviously. Selling prescriptions and glasses is a huge business for companies.

They make a lot of money from it, especially if you buy designer frames, you're going to

pay probably at least 200-300 dollars for each pair. Very often, when you go for a checkup,

they will give you a stronger prescription saying that your eyesight got worse and in

that way they will sell you so many different pairs of glasses in your lifetime. Reason

number two is that not many doctors talk about eye exercises. Apparently, in Eastern Europe

they still do, and in fact when my eyesight was bad, when I was a child, the doctors did

mention that we should go to the eye exercising classes, which I never went to. I really regret

that because my eyesight would be perfect by now. But in the Western world, doctors

seem to not even know about them, not even talk about them. They just give the prescription

for glasses and that's a real shame because if you catch this early, it will be so much

easier than if you wait until your eyesight gets really bad with glasses and then you're

an adult, and then you have to do exercising. It's still possible, but it's much harder,

so why not catch it early. I just don't get it. So reason number 3 is that the society

nowadays is all about instant gratification and getting results right away, right now,

right here. Nobody wants to exercise and make an effort for 6 months until they can get

any kind of results. Although with these exercises you don't even have to wait that long. You'll

probably start getting results in a couple of weeks. But even that is too much for people.

They don't want to put any kind of work into anything. You know, wearing crutches I guess

is easier than trying to fix your eyesight. And the fourth reason is that people are so

defensive of their eye crutches for some reason. I don't even know why. When we found out about

this and started having incredible results, we started talking to all our friends about

it. All the friends who were wearing glasses, especially with stronger prescriptions, we

started telling them about these exercises. And guess what? They were getting angry and

super defensive. I don't even know why. They were saying that glasses are a part of their

identity, a part of their style, and they don't want to get rid of them. You know, that's

fine by me if that's your style. But you can just get glasses with simple clear glasses

without any diopters. Why wear eye crutches? That's something I don't understand. If that's

your style, keep it, but why do you need to get the muscles in your eyes weaker and weaker

by wearing glasses all the time? I just don't get it. But I don't get many things, so that's

OK. The theory behind these eye exercises is that your eyes are controlled by muscles,

just like your heart and your lungs, and your intestines, and most things in your body are

controlled by muscles. When you look at things far away from you or if you look at a notebook,

different eye muscles are used. The thing is that nowadays with computers and books,

and studying all the time, we mostly use the muscles in the near-sighted work. In this

way, we don't use the full range of our eye muscles They deteriorate, they get weaker,

they atrophy, and that's how you get myopia. I'm not saying that all eyesight problems

are because of that because there are all kinds of problems. But this is the majority.

However, these exercises, according to the author, will work for any kind of eyesight

problems: for myopia or short-sightedness, long-sightedness when you need reading glasses,

or even glaucoma - it will prevent those things or will help prevent any kind of age-related

diseases of your eyes. But if you want more information, just read the book. It's really

really interesting. it will give you lots more information about this. Anything thing

is that when you wear glasses and you go back for a checkup, for a yearly checkup, very

often they will give you a stronger prescription. And that's because I've noticed that often

they give prescription that are stronger than what you need to get perfect vision. You know

that perfect vision is when you have 20/20 vision, but I noticed that when I got my prescription

a few years ago, which I needed to drive and I never got my driving license, but that's

another story. When I got my prescription and I went back home, and I checked my eyesight,

I actually had 24/20, so that's more than you need to have perfect vision, so I was

thinking, "Hmmm, why are they doing that?" And then I checked my husband's vision with

his glasses and it was the same. It was also 24/20. Why would they make you see more than

you need to see? Well, my answer is that if your eye crutches are stronger than you need,

then your eye muscles will need to work less and less, and then they'll get weaker, and

if they get weaker, the next time you go to get a new prescription, you'll probably need

stronger glasses. And so they can see you another product. I know that this is quite

a strong accusation. It might not be like that. But then why would they prescribe you

a prescription that is actually stronger than you need? I just don't get it. If you yourself

are an eye doctor or an ophtalmologist - something like that, then please let me know because

I'm really curious. I want to know why 20/20 vision isn't enough I just don't get it. There

are two different kinds of exercises in this routine. The first kind is stretches, like

going to the gym for your eyes. It's quite fun. And then the second part is something

called de-focusing or fucusing exercises. So for the first type, there are 5 different

exercises, and you need to do them every second day. So you do them on one day, then the next

day is a rest day, and then do them again the next day. And you need to do them in the

morning and in the evening, and each time it will probably take you around 10-15 minutes.

So it will be maximum 30 minutes every other day, so it's not that much. The first one

is you need to stretch your eyes by looking up and then looking down, looking left, looking

right, and diagonally to all the four sides. And you need to keep your eyes there for maybe

around 10 seconds, as long as it feels comfortable. Just until your eyes get tired. You need to

go as far as your eyes will go. So if it starts feeling uncomfortable and painful, that's

when you need to stop. It will probably be quite difficult. I said it's like going to

the gym, but it actually is. My husband and I were sweating like crazy at the beginning.

It was seriously like a gym. But that's normal. A slight warning: you might get a bit of a

headache for the first week two - that's also totally normal. It's just because your eyes

are adjusting and they're getting tired. You need to rebuild the muscle, that's totally

normal. But after those two weeks you'll find that you can work for so much longer without

your eyes getting tired or without starting to get double vision. I forgot to mention:

these exercises also work amazingly well if you're astigmatic. I am an astigmatic, and

these exercises helped a lot. The second exercise is the same stretches, looking down, up, left,

right, and so on, but with your lids closed. it's slightly more challenging, but it's fun.

It just makes you control your eyes so much better. And then the third exercise is you

need to do rotations with your eyes, but without moving your head. You need to also go as far

as your eyes will go. It will be slightly uncomfortable, slightly painful, but that's

exactly where your eyes need to be. And you need to do 10 rotations on each side, so 10

clockwise and 10 counter-clockwise. And then fourth exercise is the same rotations, but

with your eyes closed. This is quite challenging, but doable. And then the fifth exercise is

my favourite. You need to pick an object that is close enough for you to be able to focus

on it quite well. So in my case it's the camera on the tripod right in front of me. You need

to focus on one part of that object and focus on it really well. You need to rotate your

head by keeping your eyes fixed on that object. if you're tired or if it's evening time, you'll

probably find that in some places you're getting double vision. That's definitely normal. It's

just because your eye muscles are tired, not very fit yet. So don't freak out, that's normal.

You'll find that in a few weeks the double vision will totally disappear and that's just

another proof that your eyesight is getting better. If you do it in public, people might

think that you're mental, but that makes it even more fun, doesn't it? Yes! So these are

the 5 stretching exercises that you need to do. And now the second part is called de-focusing.

For this, you need to take some kind of book or a magazine. So I have a magazine here just

for demonstration purposes. You need to put it at a distance where you can still work

out what's written. It's kind of blurry, but you can still work it out if you try really

hard. And then stay there trying to read and you'll notice that in a while, maybe in 30

seconds or a minute, you'll actually start seeing perfectly. Your eyes will get used

to it. So once you reach that point, you need to move that magazine or book slightly further

away again until you again can just make out what's written. It's blurry, but you can see.

Stay there until your eyes start focusing perfectly again, and then move it away slightly

again. Repeat that for 30 minutes or so. Ideally, you should do that every second day as well

but to be honest we never did it that often because it is quite time consuming. You need

around 30 minutes to do that. So if you can't do it so often, that's OK, do it whenever

you remember, it will still be fine. Now, if your prescription is around -3 or -2, then

you need to get reading glasses of around +2 and do this exercise with them. And that's

called anti-correction. If your prescription is stronger, then you might have to do this

exercise without wearing any kind of glasses at all or perhaps get slightly weaker prescription,

so let's say if you're -7, then maybe get -3 or -4 or something like that. Just to get

something that would make it more challenging for your eyes. it will make them stronger.

So that's it really. It's super easy. if you do these two exercises, you'll start noticing

improvements very quickly, probably within around a couple of weeks. Then you'll start

getting these flashes of perfect vision. i totally freaked out when it happened once.

I was just walking on the street and suddenly I could read all the number plates of all
