“Perfect eyesight” by Robert A. Zuraw
The first word that came to my mind when I was reading this book was “eclectic”. I have to say that the approach adopted by Robert Zuraw is unique among vision improvement books.
He took techniques from around the world and combined them into a series of eye improvement techniques.
Just to give you a feel of the book: There are exercises and advice from China, India, Egypt, Germany and many others with exotic and yoga-like names like “Exhaling Bull”, “Yang-Eye Candle”, “Egyptian Black Dot Technique”, and so on.
There are also the more common Bates method, various relaxation tips and plus lens therapy. There are so many more that if you do just a different exercise every day, it can last you for many weeks!
The advantage is that one can surely find a few favoured techniques among so many described there. Lest you become overwhelmed or confused, Zuraw has a section on drawing up a daily programme.
Included too, a few chapters on general health advice such as nutrition and body massage. “Perfect Eyesight” certainly didn’t miss out much information on eyesight improvement.
One of the main emphasis was on the liver as the “center of health”.
One drawback with this book is that the organization and presentation could have been more professional. It would have been much more pleasant to read a proper book than a plastic binding of papers.
More diagrams would have been helpful too, especially since some of the techniques described in the books are quite obscure. When I pay US$19.95 for a book, I do expect a proper book.
On the whole, “Perfect Eyesight” is an interesting read, and chock-full of information . Reading it would widen considerably your idea of what one can do for one’s eyes.
