Introduction
Currently worldwide the myth that with age all people’s eyesight must necessarily
deteriorate is widespread. After reading this statement, the readers probably have two
questions: why the authors are so sure that this is a myth, and if this is true, then where did
this misconception come from? The answer to the first question is in the next chapter, and as
for the second one, apparently this myth was invented by the same people who invented the
eyeglasses.
The presented technique to the readers is designed to teach people to use their
eyesight properly, rather than to cure it. This apparently paradoxical assertion is based on the
philosophy of the technique developed by the American physician ophthalmologist William
Bates and was improved by the famous Russian scientist and doctor, Professor Vladimir
Zhdanov. According to this statement the vast majority of people having problems with the
eyesight, their eyes are healthy, but they do not work properly, and the wearing of glasses - is
a bad habit.
At the same time, the traditional medicine claims that all the eye problems are the
diseases, and they should be treated. This contradiction between the two approaches to the
restoration of eyesight is due to the fact that they are based on the completely different ideas
about the structure of the human eye. In this book, we will consider both theories attempting
to explain the work of the human eye. Then there will be given the exercises to restore the
eyesight, as well as the methods of their use, taking into account the diagnosis in each case.
The information containing in this book is a guide on health and is not intended for
the self-diagnosis without the participation of a doctor.
Chapter 1
Theory of the eyesight
and its problems
The structure of the eye
The complexity of the structure of the human eye is due to the fact that, unlike the
simple eye of an insect with a convex retina which sees clearly only those objects that are
located on a well-defined distance from it, the human eye should see equally well both
located close and distant objects. Because of this fact the structure of the human eye is much
more complicated.
In the front part of it there is a special lens - the crystalline lens, the main purpose of
which is – the focusing of the image on the retina. In the back part of the eye the retina is
located. This is a body composed of the light-sensitive cells. The retina has a shape of the
inner surface of a sphere, the choroid which is located underneath it. All this construction is
inside a spherical, filled with a special liquid of the eye. In its front part, before the
crystalline lens, there is the eye iris. At the top, bottom and sides the eye- motor muscles fit
the eye.
In such a construction the focus for building a clear image on the retina of closely
spaced or distant objects can be executed in two different ways: either by the changing of the
curvature, and hence the magnification of the lens, or by changing the distance between this
lens and the retina, with the remaining unchanged curvature of the lens. Understanding of the
principle of focusing of the image in the eye it is very important to explain the eyesight
problems, and this question the next part in this chapter is dedicated to.

Theories explaining the mechanism
of accommodation
Theory 1
When training the doctors - ophthalmologists the traditional medicine is based on a
proposal by the German physiologist Hermann von Helmholtz theory about the structure of
the eye. He more than 150 years ago suggested that the focus on the image is due to the
curvature of the lens. To do this, the lens is surrounded by the so-called ciliary (circular)
muscle that flexes the lens stronger and when relaxing, allows it due to its natural elasticity
to take a flat shape again.
Hermann von Helmholtz offered this explanation for the deterioration of eyesight: the
nearsightedness (myopia) arises of the fact that the ciliary muscle is always in tension, and
therefore the lens under its influence is in a convex shape all the time and cannot be
straightened sufficiently this fact does not allow a person to see well at the distance, but he
normally sees the nearer objects.
To resolve this problem Helmholtz suggested to place in front of the eye a decreasing
(minus) lens that is to put on the glasses for normal vision of distant objects.
The farsighted people, according to this theory, are in the reversed situation: they see
the distant objects well, but have difficulty in seeing the close objects due to the inability of
the ciliary muscle due to its age weakening and in a proper way to compress the lens so that
it became sufficiently convex. For treating the farsightedness (hyperopia), he proposed to use
the glasses with increasing (positive) lenses.
Thus, the theory of Hermann von Helmholtz shows that the method of solving the
problem of visual impairment is the only one – to wear glasses.
Theory 2
The completely different theory was developed by the American ophthalmologist
William Bates. He concluded that the theory of Hermann von Helmholtz was wrong, and
offered a different explanation of the structure of the eye, which lead to a completely
different method of treatment of poor eyesight.
William Bates found that the accommodation of the eye (sharpening) takes on a
completely different principle. During this process, the optical magnification of the lens
remains constant, but changes the distance between it and the retina at which the image is
constructed.
Let’s consider this process in details.
As you know, around each eye there are six extraocular muscles (Fig. 2). These
muscles are: the upper longitudinal muscle that serves to elevate the eye upward, the lower
longitudinal muscle, which lowers the eyes down, the outer lateral muscle, receding the eye
outwards, the inner side receding the eye to the nose, the upper transverse muscle, which
covers the top of the eye with the hemisphere, as well the lower transverse muscle, spanning
the eye with the hemisphere below.
Fig. 2 The oculomotor muscles
1 - upper longitudinal muscle, 2 – lower(bottom) longitudinal muscle, 3 - external lateral muscle, 4 internal lateral muscle, 5 - upper transverse muscle, 6 - lower (bottom) transverse muscle
These muscles move the eye up and down and turn to the sides. But they make one
more important function - they perform the accommodation of the eye. According to William
Bates, this process is as follows. The clear image of closely located or distant objects is
based on the internal surfaces of spheres of different radii (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3 Position of the focusing surface of the different
remote objects
1 - the remote (distant, far) object, 2 - the approximate (close) object 3 - surface on which the image of
the remote object is focused, 4 - a surface on which the image of the approximate object is focused
These surfaces are formed with the equidistant from the center of the lens points and
the radii of the respective spheres to them are inversely proportional distance from the
considered object to the eye. Initially, the spherical due to excess of internal pressure filling
with the liquid eye, is focused on distant objects. To transact the view from the distant
objects on the close objects, the transverse muscles compress the top and bottom of the eye,
and thus make it to stretch, in the result it takes an oval shape (Fig. 4). Thus the distance
from the lens to the retina increases, that is, it is transaction of view from the distant objects
to close objects occurs. When the longitudinal muscles relax, and all the crossing slightly
tense at the same time, the eye again takes the form of a sphere, and thus the view is newly
transmitted from close to distant objects…………….

The preventive and auxiliary exercises for the eyes
The technique of the non-surgical recovery of eyesight is in that the result is achieved
by the way of restoring of the proper functioning of the extraocular muscles with the help of
special physical exercises. This system has not only therapeutic, but also prophylactic value.
Therefore the recommended for all without exception people, and not just for those who
already have problems with eyesight.
As the disruption in the eye muscles is caused by excessive stress and weakness of
some others, the technique consists of two major components: firstly with the help of special
exercises the relaxation of the overly tight muscles is achieved, and then the training of
weakened muscles is made. In addition both groups of exercises stimulate the circulation
within the eyes and contribute to the cleaning them of toxins.
Eye relaxation exercises
The first group of exercises is aimed at the relaxation of the eye muscles, retina and calming
of the overexcited optic nerves. In addition, these exercises improve the blood circulation of
the eyes due to the normalization of the ocular vessels.
Exercise 1
Palming
Firstly let’s learn the very simple but important exercise which should be made during
the whole course of treatment or the prophylactics of the infraction of the functioning of
eyes. This exercise is called “Palming”, its scientific analog - is the biofrez of the eyes, i. e.
their heating with the help of the heat of the persons’ body.
The exercise can be fulfilled either in the standing, or sitting position, or putting the
elbows on the table this position is advisable. Rub the palms until the felling of heat and then
blink a few times, slightly bend the palms “boat like” and cover the eyes with them. At the
same time the fingers of one palm recover the others under the 90 degree angle. The palms
cover the nose bridge but the nose remains open to breathe (Fig. 7).
Fig.7
An important moment! Make sure that the light doesn’t get under the palms. Close the
eyelids. In this position of the palms with a little concave centers their form is like the
parabolic one and the giving by them heat and the bioenergy are focused on the apple ball.
During fulfilling the palming it is important to remember the necessary facts or if you have
you eye tract overexcited and you see the final image of the just seen objects, mentally
imagine as you slowly paint these objects with a brush with a thick black paint. The main
purpose of this exercise is the maximal relaxation of the eyes.
It is believed that you reached the maximal relaxation if you optically perceive the
absolutely “black background”……………..

The forms of the treatment - training exercises for the eyes
Complex (form) of the exercises for the improvement of the ocular motility
Exercise 1
Look up, then turn in the quiet pace the glance down, then up and so on (Fig.1). Repeat 5
- 8 times, then blink 5 - 7 times to relax the eyes.
Exercise 2
Look at the left, then right, then left again and so on (Fig.2). Repeat 5 - 8 cycles. After
the finishing of the exercise blink 5 - 7 times to relax the eyes.
Fig.1 - 2
Exercise 3
Look left - up, then turn the glance right – down, to the left again - up and so on (Fig.3).
Repeat 5 - 8 times, then blink 5 - 7 times to relax the eyes.
Exercise 4
Look to the right - up, then turn the glance left - down again to the right - up and so on
(Fig.4). Repeat 5 - 8 times, then blink to relax the eyes.
Fig. 3-4
Exercise 5
Imagine a large square in front of you. Look at its imaginary top left corner. Then move
the view to the upper right corner, from there on the bottom right corner, bottom left corner
and again on the upper left corner (Fig.5). Repeat 5 - 8 times, then blink 5 - 7 times to relax
the eyes.
Exercise 6
This exercise is similar to the previous one, but it is made in the reverse direction (Fig.6).
Fig.5 – 6
Exercise 7
Imagine in front of you a large clock face. Look in the direction of the imaginary
numbers12, then turn the gaze in a circle: 3, 6, 9 and 12 again (Fig.7). Repeat 5 - 8 times,
then blink 5 - 7 times to relax the eyes.
Exercise 8
This exercise is similar to the previous one, but it is made in the reverse direction (Fig.
8).
Fig. 7 – 8
Exercise 9
Several times, draw with a look the imaginary infinity symbol (a horizontal figure eight)
(Fig.9). Repeat 5 - 8 times, then blink 5 - 7 times to relax the eyes.
Exercise 10
Move the glance along the contour of the imaginary hourglass (Fig.10). Repeat 5 - 8
times, then blink 5 - 7 times to relax the eyes.

The “Essential eyes” form
This form is also aimed at training of the ocular motility and is similar to the previous
one, although it is made a little differently. The making of the exercises of this complex is
more clearly compared with the previous exercises. Such a visibility is particularly useful at
the beginning of the development of methods for the restoration of the eyesight.
All the exercises should be made as follows: take the “etheric doubles” of your eyes
with the hands. Turn them on, and put these “essential eyes” at a distance of 20 - 25 cm from
the face at the level of your eyes. This is the starting position.
Then move these “essential eyes” with the hands in the further mentioned directions
and simultaneously watch them with the glance.
The nearsighted people do the exercises with the broader movements as possible,
almost at arm’s length, and while the farsighted people move the “etheric eyes” with more
collected movements closer to the face.
All the exercises are made 5 - 7 times. After the finishing of each exercise you should
“return” your “essential eyes” to the place of your physical eyes. It is necessary to ensure
that, before each next exercise the glance was directed forward and you did not have to make
any sudden movements with the eyes during the transition between the exercises. After the
finishing of each exercise you should blink several times to relax the eye muscles. After
completion of each exercise you should lower the hands and shake them slightly to remove
the physical stress so that the stress would not pass from the hands to the eyes. You should
also remember about the positive mental attitude.
Exercise 1
Take the starting position, then lift the “essential eyes” up, then in a calm pace lower
them down, then up again, and so on (Fig.20 - 25). With the eyes follow the movement of the
“essential eyes”. Repeat five times, then return the “essential eyes” on the “place” of the
physical eyes. Blink to relax the eye muscles, shake the hands and proceed immediately to
the next exercise.
Fig. 20 – 22
Fig.23 – 25
Exercise 2
Move the “essential eyes” to the left, then right, and so on (Fig. 26 - 31). With the
eyes follow the movement of the “essential eyes”. Repeat 5 times, then blink and proceed to
the next exercise.
Fig.26 – 28
Fig.29 – 31
Exercise 3
Move the “essential eyes” to the left - up, then to the right - down (Fig. 32 - 37). With
the eyes follow the movement of the “essential eyes”. Repeat 5 times, then blink and proceed
to the next exercise................................................................................................................

Conclusion
Now you are aware of the effective method of the eyesight restoring. But if you want
to have healthy eyesight for many years, do not forget the following: neither this book itself,
nor the doctors will provide it to you. You need the healthy eyesight, and the responsibility
for its condition also depends on you. Therefore, to ensure its proper state you will have to
make some effort for you. For this you will need to show the discipline and perseverance to
learn some of the above described techniques, and possibly change your lifestyle.
Remember, that your eyes, as well as the other parts of the body require you the daily
attention and care. The result does not come by itself, without efforts. The short-term
improvement in the eyesight, will be noticed in the first days of training on the proposed
method in this book. However, for the full recovery of good eyesight it will take time. The
main thing is not to stop at the initial appearance of success and do not let it go again.
Remember about the necessity of some effort of maintaining of good health. As you know,
the cheapest treatment - is the prevention. We wish you success in your recovery.
