Product Details


Product Description

Product Description

This revolutionary new look at vision will broaden your understanding of how you see and how you can see without your glasses or contact lenses. 
   Take Off Your Glasses and See shows you how to free yourself from the crutch of prescription lenses, to build your self-confidence and awareness, and to open up your inner and outer vision in order to see more clearly.
   Jacob Liberman, an internationally recognized authority on holistic vision care, explains how most vision problems are the result of an unconscious decision to "close your eyes" to emotional discomfort or pain, and how increasingly powerful corrective lenses only encourage eyesight to withdraw even further. By removing lenses and practicing breath- and movement-awareness techniques to shift your perception, you can reintegrate the original disruption in the mind/body system. Dr. Liberman’s approach can help you join the thousands who have escaped from the self-defeating cycle of poor vision.

Ingram

Drawing on his own experiences and the success of the people he has treated, Liberman reveals how the fundamental self-healing properties of the body/mind connection can change the way you see the world. Liberman focuses on the intimate connection between "eyesight" and "insight" and makes it clear that changing our awareness and perceptions is the best "prescription" of all. Illustrations.

3.0 out of 5 stars A really mixed bag of tricks, May 31 2003
By 
Gaetan Lion - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Take Off Your Glasses and See: A Mind/Body Approach to Expanding Your Eyesight and Insight (Paperback)
This is a very interesting book. It shed some light on the limitation of optometry. But, it replaces with a lot of alternative advice that is inaccurate.

First, he comes up with a strange psychological theory that would explain why people's eyesight deteriorated by either becoming myopic or far-sighted. If you became myopic, it is because you became scared of the outside world through a life changing event that you did not cope well. Thus, you are refusing to look at the outside world, because you are afraid of it. If you became presbyopic, you did it because you became angry at the world through another life changing experience you did not digest well. So, you just had it with the world, and you refuse to look at any of its details close at hand. This is all bogus.

The author also did many experiment that I tried to duplicate myself, but never could. He takes a bunch of people who are really myopic and orders them to take off their glasses , and then measures their visual prescription twice within the next 24 hours. I did that, using the testing devise he offers to measure your improvement in vision. Mine did not budge, yours will not either.

In a nutshell, you can't just take off your glasses and see. This is giving you false hope. And, he should be sued for false advertisement.

So, why am I giving it a 3. Well, here are some positive valuable information I got out of it:
1) Be skeptical of your optometrist measurement of your own prescription. It is not as accurate as you think;
2) I have learned to live with "under prescribed" glasses. I now use a prescription that is weaker than one I had 11 years ago. And, I wear these 90% of the time I am wearing glasses;
3) I have learned to actually not wear any glasses when I don't need to. I probably do that 10% to 20%, when I am home eating a meal with my family.

By doing points 2) and 3) as described above, I maintain my vision at its current level, and control the speed at which myopia would accelerate for someone my age. I watch my colleagues at work rushing to get a new prescription every single year or so. And, that is nuts. If we all did that, we would end up with glasses as thick as wine bottle bottoms within 5 years. If you are doing that, stop it right now. This book will give you the confidence to stop this vicious cycle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye Opener - A Must for Everyone With Corrective Eyeware, Oct 31 2001
By 
George Dimitri (Waldorf, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Take Off Your Glasses and See: A Mind/Body Approach to Expanding Your Eyesight and Insight (Paperback)
I have been into behavioral optometry and natural vision therapy for the last 6 months or so and I have found this book to be excellent in explaining the causitive nature and subsequent corrective techniques for the various eye disorders. I am myopic and have been wearing glasses since I was 14. After 6 months of eye exercises and relaxation techniques I have reduced my prescription by 5 dioptors (from -4.50 to -3.25). I still have a ways to go but this is exhilerating because there is hope that I need not be a visual cripple the rest of my life. For those people that want to rid themselves of their eye crutches, this book is an excellent tool in helping achieve that goal.

5.0 out of 5 stars good, but not all there is, Jun 21 2001
By 
This review is from: Take Off Your Glasses and See: A Mind/Body Approach to Expanding Your Eyesight and Insight (Paperback)
Liberman's an optometrist who realized the truths of vision and glasses that are obvious to anyone who takes the time to study the topic, and consequently he changed his ways of thinking about vision and about the entire being. The beginning sections of some vision improvement books can be like reviews for people who are already familiar with it, and this book is no exception, but as with other authors, he does offer valuable insights that other authors don't, and I recommend this book.
