I wore glasses to correct shortsightedness for 20 years, I no longer need them. I can now see clearly at all distances with my natural eyesight. I still find this amazing, and really appreciate and enjoy my vision.

My vision improvement story started in 1997 when I was travelling in the Caribbean. I chanced upon a book - Better eyesight without glasses (W.H. Bates) - in a bookshop.

I started practising some of the techniques described, and stopped wearing my glasses. In 2 weeks I had seen a definite improvement. A few months after my return to the U.K. I had my eyes tested at an optician.
My prescription had changed from -2.0 diopters to -0.75 diopters.

I was excited, but had no idea how to help other people improve their eyesight. I did recommend Bates's book, but soon realised that it was unusual to be able to improve eyesight just from this information.

I discovered that one of the current leading authorities on natural vision improvement is Thomas Quackenbush. Tom has studied Bates's work for many years and built his own very successful vision improvement program incorporating the modern advances in teaching methods developed since the 1920's.

I trained as a natural vision improvement teacher with Tom. My own vision improved further as a result of the new information that I learnt and is now 20/20.
