Meir Schneider, PhD, LMT - Learn How to Preserve and Improve Your Vision!
“The plasticity and potential of the visual system is continuously being explored and redefined. Old notions give way to new potentials. Meir Schneider addresses these issues in his clinical work with patients with various visual problems. His reflections and theories are worth consideration and critical review.” Creig Hoyt, MD, Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at University of California San Francisco Medical School; Director of Beckman Vision Center, San Francisco, CA “I have been impressed with the work of Meir Schneider for many years, having personally seen improvements in patient’s vision of those who have worked with him. The ability of the visual system to adapt and regain function is still full of mysteries. Through Meir’s work, we are finding some of those mysteries to be realities.” August L Reader III, M.D., F.S.C.S., Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology, California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco, CA
Meir Schneider, Ph.D., LMT was born with cataracts and other serious vision problems. After five unsuccessful surgeries on the lenses of his eyes, which left them shattered and filled with scar tissue, doctors pronounced his condition hopeless and he was certified permanently legally blind. He performed his reading and schoolwork in Braille. At age 17, Meir learned the Bates Method of eye exercises. He practiced them with a diligence that probably no one had ever applied to them before, up to 13 hours a day, undeterred by the skepticism of family and friends. To this he added his own regimen of self‐massage and movement. Within six months, he could recognize visual objects for the first time; within 18 months, he could read print without glasses. His vision continued to improve, and today is 20/80. He holds a current unrestricted California driver’s license. During his recovery process, while still a teenager, Meir began to help others with a wide range of degenerative conditions, such as polio, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis. He found that the same principles which enabled him to gain functional eyesight could be applied to the entire body. His discoveries led to the creation of the Meir Schneider Method of Self‐Healing through Bodywork and helping tens of thousands of people with serious physical and visual conditions worldwide. An internationally respected therapist and educator, Meir is the founder and director of the School for Self‐Healing in San Francisco, the author of The Natural Vision Improvement Kit, Movement for Self‐Healing, Yoga for Your Eyes, Meir Schneider’s Miracle Eyesight Method, Self‐Healing: My Life and Vision and the principal author of The Handbook of Self‐Healing.
