Vision Freedom program by Brian Severson

Has anyone tried the Vision Freedom program by Brian Severson and had any
results -- or do you know of anyone?
Thanks.

I bought it way back in the day and have had mixed results. I have been very gradually improving ever since. One thing which is hard is that the topic is very abstract and some of the ideas are metaphorical. "Strengthening" your muscles is not always the way to view it. "Reprogramming" your visual system is more like it. My myopia was completely cleared by the vision freedom system within a few months, I have wrestled with astigmatism and my progress is very slow. I think I was doing it wrong. I would recommend this system as well as studying the many bates method resources, they really do work.

Are you telling us that you can cure the improper curvature of your
cornea with this method? Guffaw.

definitely. the visual system is capable of change, not just for the worse, and just because present medical theory does not understand this does not mean it is untrue. It is true that the pathological changes of the eye usually change only in one directly. this is largely because our interference in the feedback loop of the system forces deleterious adaptation. I see what Dr. Bates was saying when he said 'man cannot be convinced by reason of an opinion he did not use reason to acquire"

I got tired of glasses, especially for skiing back in my 30's. I went to
a doctor that did biofeedback training and taught vision exercises. In a
matter of months, I could see fine without my glasses, and did not wear
any for decades. Several years ago I did start occasionally using
reading glasses for close work, and finally got prescription reading and
computer glasses this last year because of developing astigmatism
causing double vision. I am now 72 YO.

When I was younger, doing the near-far focus exercise could quickly move
my near focus from maybe 18" to 6" in 5 minutes of exercise.

Exercise sure worked for my vision.

At the age of 48 I was a corporate pilot and wearing trifocal glasses. I used the vision freedom system to correct my vision to 20/20. I'm now 68 and do not wear glasses. My vision has deteriorated slightly in dim light. My secret was to open my eyes as wide as possible any time my vision was not perfect and within seconds my vision cleared, sometimes I would have to blink and then hold eyes wide open. It became a habit I never had to think about to do. When I started, my vision was 180/200 left eye and 200/200 right eye. At the beginning of my journey I could barely read the E at the top of the chart. At about 20 hours into the eye exercises I was trying to read as far down the eye chart as I could when I felt this pulling sensation in my right eye, the chart cleared to the 20/10 line. I felt a sensation like a needle going through my eye and it hurt so bad I had to close my eyes. That was the motivation I needed to know it works. It took a couple years to strengthen the eyes to not wear glasses at all. Wearing glasses will slow the journey. In dim light I now wear reading glasses. The system works but it takes a lot of motivation. How motivated are you?

Impressive. My issue now is astigmatism. I can still read books or
computer screens, but my eyes definitely get tired faster, and keep
going blurry enough to narrow the vision field, so I have been using
glasses for those activities. I have not needed them for distant vision,
although for stargazing

It just gets worse the older you get. I hoped that the expensive toric
cataract lenses would take care of that as well as the extreme
farsigntedness, but it wasn't perfect and the macular defect in the
sharper eye is REALLY annoying!

Curiously enough, in spite of the fact that I've had a certain amount of
apparently-uncorrectable astigmatism which I only noticed when I was 36,
my eyes have never been tired and I've never had headaches. Just
double/smeared images. And the best part is that the smears are
different in each eye, making a circle into an X.
