What is Vision Education?

Vision education, or holistic vision improvement, is a growing field in the area of complementary healthcare. Vision educators help their students take charge of their own vision. They teach important information and effective techniques which develop healthy vision habits.

Vision students learn how to lessen their dependence on prescription lenses, reduce eyestrain, improve their eyesight, and prevent degenerative eye diseases. Many who practice holistic vision improvement discover a deeper connection to themselves, to others, and to nature. Natural vision improvement often requires and nurtures a greater sense of awareness in the moment, and can lead to personal growth, and improved overall health. It is a journey of exploration and discovery.

Vision educators teach an educational process; they do not diagnose or prescribe; they work with medical professionals who provide those services.

Becoming a Vision Education teacher offers you:

• Improvement for your own vision
• The opportunity to provide an enjoyable, fulfilling, and muchneeded service
• The possibility of changing the current paradigm of vision care
• A way of encouraging others to soften, relax, expand and connect more fully with themselves and the world around them
• The freedom of self-employment and of setting your own schedule
• Enhancement and diversification for your existing holistic health practice

Vision Educator Training curriculum includes:

• Overview of the field of vision education
• Exploration of the mental and physical aspects of vision
• The Bates Method
• Tools from Vision Therapy
• Techniques to relieve nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and “middle-age sight”
• Self-help and support for people with eye diseases
• How to work with children
• Ways to set up your practice
• The art of teaching holistically
• Integrating vision improvement with other holistic health practices

And more …

At the Vision Educator Training Institute you learn to design holistic vision programs for individuals as well as group classes. You discover how to work with people who have:

• difficulty seeing clearly;
• eyestrain, whether from reading, driving or computer use;
• sun sensitivity
• problems with eye co-ordination.

At the conclusion of this Teacher Certification, graduates have the opportunity to join the Association of Vision Educators, where you can list your business and get further support and education.(www.VisionEducators.org)
