The No B.S. Guide to Vision Improvement
Is it possible to improve vision naturally? After more than a dozen years of depending on glasses to see, Clifford G. Hayes embarked on a journey to discover whether or not claims of natural vision improvement might be true. Hayes documented his process and improvement on YouTube, publishing his own records from optometrists which showed significant improvement.

Updated Review:
After trying the method outlined in The No Bullsh#t Guide to Vision Improvement for an extended period, I feel it’s time to revise my original review.
The book is still, in my opinion, well-written—brief, direct, and easy to understand. It breaks down a complicated subject into a practical, step-by-step approach. However, now that I’ve had more experience with the method, I can better assess its effectiveness.
The core idea—gradually reducing your glasses prescription so that your eyes adapt over time—is very similar, if not identical, to the Endmyopia method. This approach seems to have merit for people with myopia and very low astigmatism. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I have higher astigmatism, and when I followed the book’s suggestion of converting my astigmatism prescription into a myopic equivalent, the resulting glasses were unusable. I simply couldn’t see clearly with them.
I do think there is some value in experimenting cautiously. For instance, I tried a small reduction of 0.50 diopters in my astigmatism prescription (in 0.25 steps), and my eyes did adapt. But anything lower than that did not work for me. So while I can’t recommend the book for those with high astigmatism, I think it might still be useful for others, particularly those with low or moderate myopia.
I'm now trying other methods, including the Bates-based approach outlined in Better Sight Without Glasses by Harry Benjamin (you can find my review of that book: here).
In summary, this book could be a helpful starting point if you have mild myopia or very low astigmatism. But if your case is more complex, especially with higher astigmatism, this method may not work for you.
Original review:
I recently finished reading 'The No Bullsh#*t Guide to Vision Improvement,' and I must say, it's a great book. The book's strength lies in its brevity, directness, and accessibility – making it a quick and easy read. The author successfully distills complex concepts into simple, actionable methods that are easy to understand.
What I appreciate most about the book is its simple and straightforward approach to vision improvement. The no-nonsense style cuts through the clutter often found in such literature, getting straight to the point without unnecessary fluff. This makes it an ideal choice for readers looking for practical advice without the overwhelming details.
Having delved into the recommended methods, I'm currently putting them into practice. The step-by-step guidance provided in the book is user-friendly and doesn't require an extensive background in vision science. However, as I'm still in the early stages of implementation, it's too soon to definitively tell the effectiveness of the suggested techniques.
In conclusion, 'The No Bullsh#*t Guide to Vision Improvement' is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a concise and practical guide to enhancing their vision. While it's too early for me to definitively vouch for its effectiveness, the book's straightforward methods and approachable style make it a worthwhile addition to the library of anyone interested in vision improvement.
