Hi guys! Today I wanted to talk to you about
eyesight: regaining eyesight and getting rid

Past simple

of those "eye crutches". My husband and I
managed to improve our eyesight quite a bit

To-infinitive

in the last few years, and so this is what
this video is going to be about. It's not

that difficult, all you need is just a bit
of self-motivation and a bit of effort, and

you can get your eyesight back, too. So let's
get started. Three or four years ago we discovered

this book called "The Secret Of Perfect Vision"
by David de Angelis. He's an Italian doctor

who had myopia or short-sightedness. He decided
to get rid of it naturally by using eye exercises

instead of wearing eye crutches. And he succeeded!
So this book is all about what he learned

in his journey. He's not a doctor, he's a
lawyer, so he had to prove his ideas. It's

all about different scientific data and experiments,
just to prove his point. But you don't have

to read the whole book. All you need is just
the part where he explains the exercises and

what you need to do. Or just keep watching
this video and I'll tall you what to do as

well. This book is amazing. I highly recommend
it. If you have eyesight problems or if you're

a parent and your kid is developing eyesight
problems or is already wearing glasses, it's

brilliant. My husband at the beginning of
the experiment had around -5, and I had around

-2.5 to -3. I've never really worn glasses,
just because I didn't like the idea, and I

don't drive, so that's OK. If I wanted to
drive, I would have to wear glasses. But just

for every day life or for walking around,
for being at home, it's perfectly fine. I'm

glad I never started wearing glasses because
if I did, my eyesight would be much worse

now. My husband managed to cut his prescription
in half, and now it's -2.50 in one eye and

-3 in the other one. So that's amazing. And
I managed to reach around -1 to -1.5. So that's

also half of my prescription. But we're going
to restart the exercising again because we

took a long break. We both want to reach zero.
We really want to have perfect vision and

I can see it in sight It's totally possible,
you just need to persevere. So here's my story.

When I was around 11 or 12, they took all
of our class at school to the hospital for

a check up. My best friend and I both had
the same kind of eyesight. it wasn't very

bad. It was probably around -3.5 or -4. But
the nurse scared us to death because she said

if we don't start wearing glasses right now,
we're going to get blind in a year's time

or something like that. I was so scared I
didn't even tell my parents about it for a

long time, until they found out by themselves.
But basically, the moral is that I didn't

start wearing glasses because I didn't tell
my parents, I kept going the way I was, and

I never got blind, and my eyesight actually
got better and better with each year. Instead,

my best friend started wearing glasses and
her eyesight got worse and worse and worse.

Now I think she has around -6 or -7. The point
is when you're a kid and your eyes are still

growing, if you start wearing glasses, your
eyesight will definitely get worse until you

stop growing. If you're an adult and you start
wearing glasses, there won't be such a huge

difference. But if you're a kid, it will definitely
make a huge difference. So if you are a parent

and you have kids who are starting to develop
any kind of eyesight problems, please take

them to eye exercises or teach them how to
do these eye exercises. But don't buy eye

crutches for them. Because if you do, their
eyesight will just keep getting worse. So

definitely definitely definitely don't do
that to your kids. But even if you're an adult,

you can still improve it naturally with these
exercises. Why are there so many people in

the world still wearing glasses? I think there
are 4 reasons. So first of all, it's all about

the money, obviously. Selling prescriptions
and glasses is a huge business for companies.

They make a lot of money from it, especially
if you buy designer frames, you're going to

pay probably at least 200-300 dollars for
each pair. Very often, when you go for a checkup,

they will give you a stronger prescription
saying that your eyesight got worse and in

that way they will sell you so many different
pairs of glasses in your lifetime. Reason

number two is that not many doctors talk about
eye exercises. Apparently, in Eastern Europe

they still do, and in fact when my eyesight
was bad, when I was a child, the doctors did

mention that we should go to the eye exercising
classes, which I never went to. I really regret

that because my eyesight would be perfect
by now. But in the Western world, doctors

seem to not even know about them, not even
talk about them. They just give the prescription

for glasses and that's a real shame because
if you catch this early, it will be so much

easier than if you wait until your eyesight
gets really bad with glasses and then you're

an adult, and then you have to do exercising.
It's still possible, but it's much harder,

so why not catch it early. I just don't get
it. So reason number 3 is that the society

nowadays is all about instant gratification
and getting results right away, right now,

right here. Nobody wants to exercise and make
an effort for 6 months until they can get

any kind of results. Although with these exercises
you don't even have to wait that long. You'll

probably start getting results in a couple
of weeks. But even that is too much for people.

They don't want to put any kind of work into
anything. You know, wearing crutches I guess

is easier than trying to fix your eyesight.
And the fourth reason is that people are so

defensive of their eye crutches for some reason.
I don't even know why. When we found out about

this and started having incredible results,
we started talking to all our friends about

it. All the friends who were wearing glasses,
especially with stronger prescriptions, we

started telling them about these exercises.
And guess what? They were getting angry and

super defensive. I don't even know why. They
were saying that glasses are a part of their

identity, a part of their style, and they
don't want to get rid of them. You know, that's

fine by me if that's your style. But you can
just get glasses with simple clear glasses

without any diopters. Why wear eye crutches?
That's something I don't understand. If that's

your style, keep it, but why do you need to
get the muscles in your eyes weaker and weaker

by wearing glasses all the time? I just don't
get it. But I don't get many things, so that's

OK. The theory behind these eye exercises
is that your eyes are controlled by muscles,

just like your heart and your lungs, and your
intestines, and most things in your body are

controlled by muscles. When you look at things
far away from you or if you look at a notebook,

different eye muscles are used. The thing
is that nowadays with computers and books,

and studying all the time, we mostly use the
muscles in the near-sighted work. In this

way, we don't use the full range of our eye
muscles They deteriorate, they get weaker,

they atrophy, and that's how you get myopia.
I'm not saying that all eyesight problems

are because of that because there are all
kinds of problems. But this is the majority.

However, these exercises, according to the
author, will work for any kind of eyesight

problems: for myopia or short-sightedness,
long-sightedness when you need reading glasses,

or even glaucoma - it will prevent those things
or will help prevent any kind of age-related

diseases of your eyes. But if you want more
information, just read the book. It's really

really interesting. it will give you lots
more information about this. Anything thing

is that when you wear glasses and you go back
for a checkup, for a yearly checkup, very

often they will give you a stronger prescription.
And that's because I've noticed that often

they give prescription that are stronger than
what you need to get perfect vision. You know

that perfect vision is when you have 20/20
vision, but I noticed that when I got my prescription

a few years ago, which I needed to drive and
I never got my driving license, but that's

another story. When I got my prescription
and I went back home, and I checked my eyesight,

I actually had 24/20, so that's more than
you need to have perfect vision, so I was

thinking, "Hmmm, why are they doing that?"
And then I checked my husband's vision with

his glasses and it was the same. It was also
24/20. Why would they make you see more than

you need to see? Well, my answer is that if
your eye crutches are stronger than you need,

then your eye muscles will need to work less
and less, and then they'll get weaker, and

if they get weaker, the next time you go to
get a new prescription, you'll probably need

stronger glasses. And so they can see you
another product. I know that this is quite

a strong accusation. It might not be like
that. But then why would they prescribe you
