Seminar to tackle ways to achieve perfect vision

Danish vision trainor Leo Angart is coming back to the Philippines for a series of workshops that will instruct participants how to restore their vision the natural way.

Using exercises, acupressure, scientific methods and empowering techniques, Mr. Angart aims to help more Filipinos get rid of their eyeglasses.

"I’m talking about restoring the vision to the way God intended the eye to be," he said in a recent phone interview.

Mr. Angart uses Neuro Linguistic Programming (NPL) with the exercises developed at the turn of the 20^th century by New York-based Dr. William Horatio Bates for his vision-restoring workshops.

The lecturer himself used the same methods after using eyeglasses for 25 years. He testifies to the effectivity of the exercises as he stopped wearing corrective lenses 16 years ago.

Mr. Angart said that unlike in other Asian countries, the Philippines has a relatively low number of people with vision problems.

He said that in Taiwan and Hong Kong, as much as 86% of children aged from four or five years old are already wearing eyeglasses to correct nearsightedness. Myopia develops early among Chinese kids supposedly because they are trained early in life to read and write perfect calligraphy.

"In Europe as in the Philippines, the children are not as stressed. The rate is similar at about 20% to 25%," Mr. Angart said.

He added that when one wears corrective lenses, the eyes do not "go to work and in turn lazy."

"You need to build up muscle strength by doing the exercises at least ten times a day for just a minute or two," Mr. Angart said.

So far, he said there are only two reasons why the exercises do not work for some people. One cause could be that the person is not doing enough exercises everyday. Another could be the unconscious unwillingness on the side of the patient to restore his vision.

The vision restoration period is not an instant process. According to Mr. Angart, it could take a week or two to restore vision to patients with a vision level of 200 or below. Those whose vision is already in the 1,000 to 1,500 level might take years before they can restore their vision.

There will be workshops for adults on August 18 and 19 at P8,500 each. Children from eight to 12 years old (with an accompanying guardian) can attend the workshops on August 18 and 20. Admission to the seminar is P4,300 per child.
