WHAT A MARVEL IS THE EYE! As simple as an animate miniature camera, as sublime as the gift of vision.

When our vision is normal we hardly notice the wonder of sight; but when it deteriorates, suddenly we become aware of Nature’s great gift— irreplaceable eyesight.

Is there a natural way to improve defective vision and, in many cases, restore it to normal? “Yes”, says Dr R. S. Agarwal, a pioneer in the field of holistic eye care. His book, Yoga of Perfect Sight, is a comprehensive manual on the natural care of the eye. It explains how to maintain healthy eyes by adopting a few good habits of eye care — habits that keep the eyes relaxed, refreshed and at ease. And it gives simple but effective exercises to improve one’s eyesight.

Because everyday life strains our eyes, the eye muscles get weakened and our vision declines. But just as other muscles of the body can be strengthened through proper exercises, so the eye muscles can become strong and healthy again. By gently relaxing, stretching and strengthening the eye muscles, we improve their health and thus improve our vision. This book shows how to do this safely and effectively.

The book contains chapters on the discoveries of Dr W. H. Bates, on the physiology of the eye, and on the natural cure for many major eye problems. There are also interesting case histories, question-and-answer sections, and letters on eyesight and Yogic vision by Sri Aurobindo.

Dr R. S. Agarwal, founder of The School for Perfect Eyesight at The Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, India, started his career with a medical degree. His practice combined allopathy and naturopathy with the Bates Method and the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo. The discoverer of a synthesis in ophthalmic science, his aim was to create a new type of doctor, a spiritualised doctor of the future, more concerned with health than with pathology, one who could bring to his patients perfect eyesight in a natural way.
