1. The first cardinal rule of better vision is to stop wearing glasses. If you can’t see without your glasses, then go get one that’s 2 to 3 degrees weaker than then one you’re prescribed. This allows your eyes to relearn how to see the way nature intended. Glasses are also a source of strain because when the optometrist test your eyesight, he/she is testing it for a fixed distance away. When you wear your glasses to see distances shorter than what’s tested, it produces strain on your eyes because your eyes have to adjust. Unfortunately, most of us spend most of our time seeing things in close distance – things such as TV, monitors and books.

Do you know what’s the 80/20 rule? If so, do you know how it applies to vision therapy?

The 80/20 rule states that for everything that you do, 20% of your effort results in 80% of your achievements, while the rest of the 80% of your effort results in the rest of the 20%. This rule generally applies to any type of endeavour you undertake.

Businesses often generate 80% of their revenue from 20% of their customers. Body builders built 80% their muscles from 20% of their workouts. And people who rebuilt their vision have 20% of the eye exercises to thank for 80% of the result.
