If Natural Vision Training Is So Effective and...
Here's a question I get asked a lot:
"If Natural Vision Training Is So Effective and Has So Many Endorsements Then Why Do Most People Get Lasik Surgery Or Corrective Lenses Instead?" Here's why ... In 1998 it was estimated that the U.S. optical industry was worth $30.2 billion dollars (Vision Council of America 1999). This number included such items as exam fees and office visits, surgical fees, ophthalmic pharmaceuticals retail eyewear sales, and non optical retail sales for consumables such as contact lens solutions. Now ask yourself this question. If vision training were presented as a viable option to remedy eye disorders would there be a need for consumers to spend thousands of dollars every year on the products and services that create profits for the eye care industry? While I'm not suggesting that an annual eye examination for more complex eye disorders and diseases isn't needed -- if only a fraction of those who require corrective lenses would participate in vision training, it would represent a staggering loss in profits from the purchase of optical products and services. In an article written by Dr. Mitchell Scheiman (Chief of the Pediatric Binocular Vision Service of the Eye Institute at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry) states some interesting insights as to why most eye doctors don't provide services in these types of methods. Some of the findings he discovered were: --That most eye doctors don't believe there's practice building potential especially with managed care. --And that because most eye doctors don't see vision therapy as being profitable, therefore it's not going to be offered. The fact of the matter is, there's BIG money in selling eyeglasses and eyecontacts. Along with the eye exams and everything else that goes with them. Being that you can pocket several grand a pop every time someone comes in for Lasik surgery, it's much more attractive to run people through an assembly line, zapping their eyes and making big money fast. All of the money that can be quickly made in corrective lenses and eye surgery makes offering natural vision correction a bad business choice. There's just not enough money in it. But the reality is, while not offering natural vision correction may not make good sense money wise -- it's easy to see how not letting people know they have an alternative is arguably an immoral choice. Well now you know the facts. While vision therapy isn't nearly as profitable as surgery or corrective lenses you the consumer can save hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars by safely and naturally rebuilding your vision through the use of tested eye exercises---OO Eye exercise Device.
