Synopsis

In Vision for Life, natural health pioneer Meir Schneider shares ten essential principles of healthy vision discovered in his forty-year personal and professional journey. Born almost blind, Schneider taught himself to see and developed an innovative program of healing and recovery that has helped thousands of people regain and improve their health.

Vision for Life is packed with exercises for a natural eye health routine, which you can immediately incorporate into your life, and includes a set of eye chart posters to use together with the book. This program is not only strengthening but also restorative and deeply relaxing. You will learn how to reverse developing issues before they cause damage and how to remedy existing problems including near- and far-sightedness and lazy eye as well as cataracts, glaucoma, optic neuritis, detached retinas and tears, macular degeneration, and retinitis pigmentosa. Vision for Life is not only for people who see poorly and would like to improve their vision, but also for those with 20/20 vision who wish to maintain their perfect eyesight as they grow older.

Clients of the Meir Schneider Self-Healing Method experience their own capacity to bring about recovery, reversing the progress of a wide range of degenerative conditions such as arthritis and muscular dystrophy as well as eye disease. Based in part on the established Bates Method of eyesight improvement and in part on his own professional and personal discoveries, Meir Schneider's pioneering approach has helped thousands of people successfully treat a host of eye problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, lazy eye, double vision, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, and nystagmus.

Born blind to deaf parents, Schneider underwent a series of painful operations as a young child and was left with ninety-nine percent scar tissue on his eyes, resulting in his being declared incurably blind. At the age of seventeen, he discovered how to improve his vision from one percent to fifty-five percent of normal vision with the eye exercises presented in this book. Today Schneider drives a car, reads, and proves time and again that vision can and does improve with exercise. His contributions to the field of self-healing are recognized by alternative health practitioners and medical doctors alike.

About this title

Review:

"In this generous book, Meir Schneider shares the secrets--won through his own movingly documented triumph over near-blindness--of strengthening, rejuvenating, and healing the eyes by activating the body's own intelligence. A man of vision in every sense, he offers a program of exercises that is both inspiring and eminently practicable."―Timothy Crouse, author of The Boys on the Bus

"I have been impressed with the work of Meir Schneider for many years, having personally seen improvements in patients' vision of those who have worked with him. The ability of the visual system to adapt and regain function is still full of mysteries. Through Meir's work, we are finding some of those mysteries to be realities."―August L. Reader III, MD, FACS, clinical professor of ophthalmology, California Pacific Medical Center

"This book isn't just another useful handbook for those who want to prevent vision problems or already have a condition; it is also an injection of hope."―Sônia Cristina Tinós Carrocine, instructor of Meir Schneider's Self-Healing Method

"As an ophthalmologist, I always search for the best way to treat my patients. Based on the Bates Method, self-healing has complemented my practice in those cases where our traditional medicine has its limitations. The best treatment is the one that is directed to the patient's needs, and the best medicine is the one that uses all knowledge and not only a part of it. Traditional science and complementary medicine are tools that should be used together, focusing on a more holistic health concept."―Leonardo Verri Paulino, MD, ophthalmologist and anterior segment surgeon at ABC Medical School, Brazil

"Meir's method is effective as a complementary physical therapy for the eyes."―Emília Ritsuko Yasuoka Assad, ophthalmologist and acupuncturist

"Working with my patients has verified that many sight problems get better and heal by taking up the right habits. Meir presents us with a complete guide to do so. He helps us to regain our trust in the power we have over our vision and our lives. As he says in the book, 'We all can take the time. We just have to decide that we are worth the time and that the process is worth our while.'"
―Amelia Salvador, ophthalmologist, Spain

"It is wonderful how each new book by Meir Schneider provokes us to incorporate more and more of the self-healing principles into our lives."--Laercio Motoryn, MD, ophthalmologist and homeopath

"I had the pleasure to meet Meir Schneider and use his method when I was finishing my apprenticeship to become a Bachelor of Optometry in 2005. His holistic approach toward visual dysfunctions changed me forever as a professional. His concepts remain present in my appointments, therapies, and lens prescriptions. Meir's work invites us to naturally preserve our organism and to practice healthier visual habits in this very technological world."--Fernando Nassif, optometrist with specialization in orthoptics and visual therapy

"The knowledge and application of the Self-Healing Method was very important to improve my practice as an ophthalmologist. The results attained by my patients and with my own vision are proof of the importance of the union of traditional medicine with complementary therapies. I thank Meir for being such a marvelous instrument for my personal and professional improvement."--Ana Cecilia Gois Franco, ophthalmologist and anterior segment surgeon and naturopath, São Paulo, Brazil
