I seem to remember hearing about these guys who did "eye exercises" that
lead them to naturally, "miraculously heal" their vision back to 20/20,
and they went on to become pilots, or I think one of them became an
optometrist.

I'd like to meet some of those. I never had much luck eliminating myopia
with exercises.

Anyways, I was just doing a little research and I thought this might be a
good place to get some differing opinions. So, please, how do you feel
about exercises to better your vision and eyesight, and if you know of any
that work, which ones are they? How do you know they work?

The biggest and best one offered in recent years was the "See Clearly"
method. Unfortunately, they offered a satisfaction guarantee, and so many
people wrote in wanting refunds that they couldn't keep up and they went out
of business. Here's a news release from the Iowa Dept of Justice:

DES MOINES. The Polk County District Court has ordered Vision Improvement
Technologies, Inc., to stop all sales immediately of its so-called natural
vision improvement kit called the "See Clearly Method." The Court also
ordered the Fairfield company to pay $200,000 for consumer restitution.(Copy
of the Consent Judgment.)

Doctors say that many young people have some "muscle tone" that contributes
a little (or a lot) to their myopia. These folks are able to "relax away"
some amount of nearsightedness. But after age 30 or so, natural loss of
flexibility accomplishes the same thing. Lots of myopes "improve"
spontaneously in their late 20s and 30s.

This accommodative myopia is enough to lend credence to "natural vision
improvement" programs, but nobody has shown those procedures to be effective
when compared to untreated controls. If it worked, the benefits should be
easy to demonstrate. Instead, all of the "supporting data" consists of
anecdotes and uncontrolled trials.

The prototype of this quackery is a 1929 book called "Perfect Sight Without
Glasses" by W. H. Bates. If you want a good example of the sloppy reasoning
behind these techniques, track down that book.

maybe its free now, but those scum-bags were selling that method with
a money-back guarantee and then they wouldn't stand by their guarantee
(when the purchaser failed to improve their vision: surprise-- it
doesn't work!). that's how the State of Iowa got involved, via
consumer complaints, and then their further investigations into the
validity of this method also unturned the fact that it has not been
proven AT ALL and that parts of it have even been clearly proven to be
invalid.

just some dirt bags that were trying to make money off of people's
false hopes that they could be cured. Otis and clan don't try to make
money, but they do make false claims and foster false hopes. in
particular, plus lens prevention is a method that has CLEARLY been
shown to not work.
