Looks at human vision, including how it works, what its purposes are, how some disorders affect the way people see, and how to maintain healthy eyes.

Glasses and contacts are a pain. I tried to wear contact lenses while playing college and professional football and it just doesn't work. I was always getting sweat, dirt or even fingers in my eyes that just became annoying. After my football days, I decided to go on a quest. My mission was to find out if there were any ways to recover vision naturally, without corrective lenses. This book is a summary of what I found. In it I share how I was able to eliminate my glasses completely after ONE DAY! Granted, eventually I had to revisit some of these techniques but that was 2 years later! The majority of what I personally used was from the Bates Method. I am only a satisfied Bates student not a certified Bates practitioner. I wrote this book just to share the information so that it may help those in need. Here is some of what you will discover: Relaxation of body and eyes Breathing Exercise One: Deep Breathing Exercise Two: Lens Flexor Stretching Body Movement Exercise One: Sway Exercise Two: Long Swing Exercise Three: Cross-Crawl Energetic Yawning Blinking Palming Sunning Pinhole glasses Alternate Eye Movements Lazy Eights Central fixation Exercise 1: Tibetan Wheel Exercise 2: Snellen Chart Exercise 3: Domino Chart Exercise 4: Edging Exercise 5: Mandala Eye Oblique Stretch Near & Far Visualization Analytic seeing Chiropractic & Vision Nutrition This is a comprehensive collection from books, articles and research that I discovered on this journey to natural clear vision. Who is this book for? Anyone, from 5 to 100 who wishes to make their vision better as it's never too late to do so. Anyone who has problems with seeing correctly and wants to be able to do so. Anyone who uses weak, moderate or even strong reading glasses, or even bifocals or trifocals. Anyone who experiences eye strain, fatigue, or headaches when reading or trying to focus on the computer screen. Anyone with excellent near-point vision who wishes to keep it that way and save themselves from having to wear glasses. I hope you enjoy the information shared here. I've also included a list of 20 foods that optimize visual health. To Better Vision!"

Meet Douglas, a dog with a big problem: he needs eyeglasses but doesn’t know it, and his bad eyesight tends to land him in some pretty hairy situations. Readers will laugh along with the new picture book character Douglas as he chases a leaf that he mistakes for a squirrel, walks through wet cement because he can’t see the warning sign, and annoys the neighbor’s dog by mistakenly eating out of his bowl. And when Douglas’s owner Nancy finally takes him to what is clearly an eyeglass store and Douglas asks, “Why are you taking me to a shoe store?” everyone will be giggling. After an eye exam confirms that Douglas needs glasses, and Nancy helps him find the perfect pair, readers will rejoice with Douglas as he sees all the amazing things he’s been missing! Both kids and parents will laugh out loud—and may even recognize themselves!—while reading this utterly irresistible, hilarious picture book.

Based on the series produced for the BBC World Service Who thought up paper money? How did the contraceptive pill change the face of the legal profession? Why was the horse collar as important for human progress as the steam engine? How did the humble spreadsheet turn the world of finance upside-down? The world economy defies comprehension. A continuously-changing system of immense complexity, it offers over ten billion distinct products and services, doubles in size every fifteen years, and links almost every one of the planet's seven billion people. It delivers astonishing luxury to hundreds of millions. It also leaves hundreds of millions behind, puts tremendous strains on the ecosystem, and has an alarming habit of stalling. Nobody is in charge of it. Indeed, no individual understands more than a fraction of what's going on. How can we make sense of this bewildering system on which our lives depend? From the tally-stick to Bitcoin, the canal lock to the jumbo jet, each invention in Tim Harford's fascinating new book has its own curious, surprising and memorable story, a vignette against a grand backdrop. Step by step, readers will start to understand where we are, how we got here, and where we might be going next. Hidden connections will be laid bare: how the barcode undermined family corner shops; why the gramophone widened inequality; how barbed wire shaped America. We'll meet the characters who developed some of these inventions, profited from them, or were ruined by them. We'll trace the economic principles that help to explain their transformative effects. And we'll ask what lessons we can learn to make wise use of future inventions, in a world where the pace of innovation will only accelerate.
