Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Hi Folks, I am constantly updating my questionnaire as is necessary. I am getting alot of requests lately and I'm about a month behind in sending out materials. My friends and family are advising me to do this professionally so I may be giving lectures and or seminars on vision training in the future for $$$. No definite plans are in the works. Anyone that requests materials before I start doing it for money will get them for free, as promised. Fran Eisner (SEE REVISED QUESTIONNAIRE BELOW) ............................................................................= .............. QUESTIONNAIRE: NEWEST VERSION: 1/24/03 • (2), (3), & (4) are things you ABSOLUTELY NEED to be able to use the materials. • You " ll also need a printer. ............................................................

At some point I may do this here professionally. For the meantime I am passing on all the information I have with no charge. Please EMAIL ME PRIVATELY whenever you have questions about orthoptic exercises. I don't necessarily check the boards all that often. You can read my introductory essay online at http://www.i-see.org/vtintro.html until I send you all of the materials. There are alot of clickable links at the end of the essay so you can find out even more about vision exercises. • Please s directly below for some suggestions re: " computer ergonomics. " This is very, very important. Nearly everyone's computer habits could be improved. Computers are here to stay but they are a major source of eyestrain, and their improper use contributes to the worsening of all eye problems. http://www.apple.com/about/ergonomics/vision.html http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/01/980105053738.h tm http://www.drergo.com/ • If you have myopia ONLY (distance vision problem) and no other conditions, you might want to try PLUS LENS THERAPY instead of the orthoptic training that I studied.
