I was asked for an unbiased review of the Improve Vision product back on May 29th in exchange for a product sample. After informing my contact of my location in the Philippines and the fact that I had LASIK eye surgery a few years ago, he still asked for a review. The product sampling, however, turned into just an ebook about the product.
How do you do a product review for a product you don't have in your possession? How can I say this is one of the ways to improve vision without actually being able to use the product? In the end, this is an ebook review and not a product review.
The ebook is 21 pages, but only 20 pages if you don't count the splash page. Pages 1 through 11 include the table of contents, an introduction, how to use the product and installing the software, frequently asked questions, a disclaimer, and journal-keeping instructions. Page 12 is where the meat of the program starts.
There are several pages of exercises which explain how to improve your vision with simple exercises. These exercises complement the software and the special eyeglasses contained in the actual product.
The last time I had my eyes checked, in 2006 and here in the Philippines (and in a rudimentary setting), I was told I had 20/40 vision. This was an eye test for my driver's license and I was tested with just an eye chart. My vision was horrible before LASIK eye surgery. I wore thick eyeglasses and I was extremely nearsighted. I now wear no eyeglasses at all, but I need reading glasses (or a magnifying glass) to see items that are tiny or closer than normal.
I actually took the time to do some of the exercises to see if they would have any effect on my vision. I wasn't optimistic to begin with since my vision is already very good. I saw no results at all after doing these exercises repeatedly for more than a couple of weeks, and that's exactly what I expected.
I think that's about as unbiased as I can be about anything. What do you think?
