The See Clearly Method was an eye exercise program that was marketed as an alternative to the use of glasses, contact lenses, and eye surgery to improve vision. Sales were halted by legal action in 2006. The method is not supported by basic science, and no research studies were conducted prior to marketing.〔〔(See Clearly Method website as archived on Feb 9th 2004 )〕 The program is based in part on the Bates method, an alternative therapy devised in the early 20th century which lacks clinical evidence to support the claim that it can improve eyesight.〔 *〕 ==History== The See Clearly Method was created by four individuals who called themselves the "American Vision Institute": optometrist David W. Muris, optometrist Merrill J. Allen, psychologist Francis A. Young, and nuclear chemist Steven Beresford. In 1996 they authored a book entitled ''Improve Your Vision Without Glasses or Contact Lenses: A New Program of Therapeutic Eye Exercises'', on which the later system was based. When Fairfield, Iowa businessman Cliff Rose saw the book, he asked that the authors develop the program. Along with attorney David Sykes, Rose created ''Vision Improvement Technologies'', which owned and marketed the See Clearly Method, which was heavily advertised on radio and television from 2001 to 2006, with the endorsement of actress Mariette Hartley.〔 The See Clearly Method has been described as "amply critiqued and debunked.".〔 Both the ''Journal of the American Optometric Association'' and the ''Journal of Behavioral Optometry'' declined to publish a study by the American Vision Institute purportedly demonstrating the efficacy of the method. The AVI then self-published the paper on their website. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「See Clearly Method」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
