Meir Schneider was born without sight. Refusing to surrender to his blindness, he began using techniques developed by ophthalmologist William Bates and, building upon them, eventually created his own therapeutic program which he then used to reverse his blindness. Today, Mr. Schneider drives a car in California! Schneider maintains that his exercises emphasize relaxation, strength, and flexibility of the eyes, and if done regularly, will improve vision. (In fact, trying out some exercises while watching the tape, I thought I saw--no pun intended--some improvement in my own vision.) Mr. Schneider is an inspirational figure and his eye yoga program is exceptionally well put together, easy to follow, and--though it certainly won't work for everyone--potentially very effective. This reasonably priced comprehensive program, packaged with a small paperback book, is highly recommended. Editor's Choice. Aud: P. (E. Druda)
