Take Off Your Glasses and See

I picked up this book because I already suspected there was something very wrong with the way we treat vision problems. Why should every other part of the body be capable of healing itself, but your eyes (and your teeth) supposedly can't--all you can do is correct with glasses or lenses, and then when those aren't strong enough, you get stronger and stronger prescriptions until you die? This concept fundamentally wars against my worldview, and yet I didn't really know the alternative. The author was an optometrist, who asked the same question, and healed his own eyesight... but not the way I expected. I thought there would be a lot more eye exercises. Instead, he takes a step back, focusing instead upon the mind-body connection between the eyes and the emotions. (The subtitle should have been my first clue, I suppose. I didn't know this was a thing, but I guess, why not? There's a mind-body connection to every other part of the body... again, why should the eyes be any different?)
I guess I'd hoped for a more practical book than I got. I think mostly this raised a lot of compelling questions, and the reader can ponder them on his own, and see where they might lead.
