Product Description

How I Cured My Myopia is an innovative book in the field of visual rehabilitation and it is completely different from everything ever published before.

Indeed, David De Angelis proposes extremely efficacious system regarding prevention and gradual treatment of refractive errors (myopia and hyperopia). De Angelis’ system is different from the Bates’ one (ocular gymnastic) since it is based on completely innovative scientific studies which have been carried out in the last fifty years (retinal defocus). The system’s efficacy comes from the fact that it directly intervenes over the causes which generate myopia onset and development (overaccommmodative/near-point stress). Ocular refractive capability—when adequately stimulated by the exercises that are proposed in his book—leads to gradual strengthening of one’s focusing capability with consequent gradual decreasing of his refractive error.

The book is documented with a huge scientific bibliography (as reference). It is addressed both to the scholars in the field and to everyone who would like to undertake a way of cure which overcomes simple wearing glasses, contact lenses and refractive surgery.

About the Author
David De Angelis lives in Rome. He has written How I Cured My Myopia, basing it over his personal experience, studying, over the scientific research on retinal defocus as well as over his own success in treating and recovering from his initial refractive error-myopia. He wanted to make his own experience become public and set out the basis for a new direction of visual re-education.

Very purposeful and straightfoward
I have read many books on natural vision improvement and Mr. De Angelis' seems to be one of the most honest books to date. He supports his claims with scientific research. He talks about his own journey toward 20/20 vision and he is easily accessible. His focus is just on a few exercises that will help stretch the muscles and restore flexibility to the eyes, thus restoring them to their natural state. He also advocates the use of the plus lense to assist accomodation. This book is not a Bates book. Although I have been using Bates' techniques for some time, I wanted to try something different. As when you exercise your body, your muscles get used to the same exercises over and over again. I want to give my eyes something different as well. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is because I have just started using Mr. De Angelis' techniques. When I am cured I will write another review! :)

Power Vision System...this book deserves the name!
I've read this book and I recommend it to anyone willing to improve his/her nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism. Some months ago, when I started doing the exercises described in this book my prescription was -2.25/-2.5. Well, after constantly practicing my vision has improved and now my nearsightedness is -0.75/-1.0...amazing! The same exercises and principles can also be applied for prevention purposes and the author can be contacted for further questions. Highly recommended!

PS: I don't agree with the other reviewer claiming that "it is just another re-working of the Bates method". It's just not true, but if you feel like, you can integrate both methods!

Different then the others :o)
It's true, that the book is a pretty hard read, and that it shows that Davids native language isn't English just as it isn't for myself. Actually I needed to go through it 2-3 times, underlining the essentials before I was able to put everything together - how to practice and USE the exercises and what the exercises included. But still the book is different then the others..and I have read pretty many.

Davids book writes about the importance of strengthening and stretching the muscles and especially the symmetry between the two eyes.

I'm just about starting using the exercises...because when i START, I want to be VERY dedicated. But the "eye test" showed, that I indeed have "week spots". You can do the test yourself if you like:

Look and fixate on a small object 2-5 meters away. Now turn your head while keeping the gaze fixated all the way round the visual field, where you are still able to maintain binocular vision (you will be able to see the rim of the eye sockets and side of your nose and eyebrows while you turn your head all way round in kind of a circle). That's very important, for in my case I have a hard time maintaining binocular vision in my upper right part of the visual field, where the vision "breaks up" and gets double. So that's my "part", where I have work to do....:o)

And that's one of Davids main points. The muscles and muscular innervation's have sort of atrophied or weakened because of many years of misuse due to near point stress (especially when using glasses for near work). So the muscles need to be stretched and strengthened and learn to work together perfectly as agonist and antagonist again.

Beside that the book IS indeed a hard read, and you don't need all the information given, and you probably will have some hard time sorting out what is really important and what isn't...it is obvious and inspiring, that David is very enthusiastic about his approach and his personal success, he wants to share with everyone, who is open and receptive. That also shows in his email replies.... he is very friendly and motivates you to go for it....and get back, if you have any additional question. Way to go, David :o)

So, give this book a try....I love the principles in it....and you can still combine it with other relaxation and visualization techniques of course.

I'm excitedly looking forward witnessing my own eyes getting back to splendid health and agility.

With LOVE
