For more than 11 million, that vision impairment is uncorrected by glasses or contact lenses.

I happily and trustingly jumped on the program and even took less college classes one semester so I could &quot;practice&quot; a lot and &quot;relax&quot;. Well it turns out that there was NO change in my vision even though I practiced for around 4 months. You&#39;d think I&#39;d see a change from 20/400 to even 20/200, but NO. Although the idea of natural cures is very seductive, it did not work for me in the area of vision, which is ultimately disappointing. Don&#39;t trust anything; try it out instead.</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=216183" width="1" height="1">
