Reviews
“A timely publication as the optical professions are currently addressing the explosion of myopia since the 1970s and it is predicted that almost 50% of the world’s population will be myopic by 2050. Today, myopia control is front and center for eye care professionals looking for solutions to control and reverse this condition. They will find that John’s research and subsequent therapy will support their practice and expanding knowledge. John’s dedication to this ‘epidemic’ is an inspiration. I highly recommended it as required reading for all opticians!”
—Lorne Kashin, RO, Executive Director, Ontario Opticians Association

“John William Yee has made a major personal effort to design preventive methods for this difficult problem, and these methods are effective. It is always difficult to pioneer an alternative treatment in a field as conservative as optometry, and it takes a bold ‘soul’ to take these first steps. . . . In this book, he offers this knowledge to professionals. . . . His pioneering development of Ortho C shows promise to effectively prevent nearsightedness at the threshold. His standard of professionalism and his commitment to support the welfare of others sets a high example for all of us.”

This volume introduces and explains an eye-opening treatment for correcting nearsightedness and related vision problems naturally and neurologically. In The Neurological Treatment for Nearsightedness and Related Vision Problems: A Guide to Vision Improvement Based on 30 Years of Research, the author presents his methodology on neurologically correcting primary refractive errors in the mild and moderate myopic range. Ortho C. (or orthoculogy, which is Latin for “correcting the whole eye”) is a natural treatment, requiring no alteration to the cornea.

The author, a Canadian registered optician, explains that the main culprit of myopia is the excessive tension of the oblique muscles. He describes his successful treatment that reduces the excessive tension to reinstate the proper neurological message of the eye. The procedure is based on a plain “flexible” pair of contact lenses (without any prescription). The Ortho C lens acts as a catalyst to activate the ciliary muscle to manipulate the lens, which, in turn, activates the rectus muscles to manipulate the eyeball. It is the motor cortex that relays the proper message to those muscles to synchronize the lens and eyeball.

The author dedicated a section of the book on the effectiveness of the treatment. In the chapter Case Studies, selected case studies on different types of myopia for the book produced pretest and posttest outcomes that are identical to researched outcomes conducted with other participants over the years. Further verification is found in the chapter Troubleshooting, where actual problems with different types of refractive errors experienced by the patient during the treatment are resolved by adhering to protocol. It demonstrates standardization in the methodology.

The author provides the context surrounding the drills in the chapter The Procedure, such as designing the lens to suit the need, determining the sequence of wear, and conducting resistance tests. He explains, too, that there are no side effects—no halo effects, no decreases in night vision, no eye tearing up, no scarring, no undercorrection or overcorrection, no progressive visual acuity deterioration, and no regular risks incurred by wearing a standard RGP lens because the lens is worn for only 5 minutes or less—the time it takes to perform the drill. And Ortho C is a fraction of the cost of laser surgery.

The volume also presents a method to treat secondary refractive errors, such anisometropia, anisometropic amblyopia, and compound astigmatism where the astigmatism is high, as well as primary refractive errors where both eyes are slightly outside the model.

This volume provides what you need to know to treat myopia and other vision problems naturally with the author’s cutting-edge treatment approach. The methods outlined here will be invaluable for those in the medical profession, naturopaths, psychiatrists, psychologists, and researchers—as well as for eye care specialists, of course.

The author grants to vision specialists the rights to apply ortho C to improve the vision of anyone who approaches you with the intention of correcting their myopia by ortho C. Mild and moderate myopia are easier to treat compared to the other ranges. All you have to do is follow the step-by-step instructions for the specific drill outlined in the chapter What to Do.

Key features:
  • Introduces a neurological and natural treatment for the correction of nearsightedness
  • Presents a myriad of case studies showing the effectiveness of this treatment, based on the author’s over 30 years of research
  • Provides step-by-step instructions for designing lenses to suit the need, determining the sequence of wear, and conducting resistance tests
  • The author released his patent to readers, granting you the right to apply ortho C to treat any patients with mild and moderate myopia, anisometropia, or compound astigmatism.

About the Authors / Editors:
John William Yee, DEd, RO
Professor of Optical Science, Seneca College, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

John William Yee, DEd, RO, is a professor in the optical science faculty at Seneca College, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is a Registered Optician (from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Alberta, Canada, and also holds a DEd (Doctor of Education in Psychology) from the University of Liverpool, UK. He received his post-master’s in developmental psychology from Athabasca University, Alberta, Canada. He also graduated from Saint Mary’s University, Nova Scotia; University of Waterloo, Ontario; Ryerson University, Toronto; Yorkville University, New Brunswick; Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Alberta; and Centennial College, Toronto, Canada. He studied psychology, philosophy, economics, mechanical engineering, auto mechanics, and optometry.

John Yee has written numerous journal papers on the relationship between neurology and optometry in the treatment of refractive errors. He opened a research facility from 2009 to present with the help of some of his students to research the role of neurology in the treatment of nearsightedness (or myopia). He has also written a number of books on different problems: dealing with bullies, shedding excess weight, and the stock market. He is currently preparing his next book on risk taking.
