This volume introduces and explains an eye-opening treatment for correcting nearsightedness and related vision problems naturally and neurologically. In The Neurological Treatment for Nearsightedness and Related Vision Problems: A Guide to Vision Improvement Based on 30 Years of Research, the author presents his methodology on neurologically correcting primary refractive errors in the mild and moderate myopic range. Ortho C. (or orthoculogy, which is Latin for “correcting the whole eye”) is a natural treatment, requiring no alteration to the cornea.
The author, a Canadian registered optician, explains that the main culprit of myopia is the excessive tension of the oblique muscles. He describes his successful treatment that reduces the excessive tension to reinstate the proper neurological message of the eye. The procedure is based on a plain “flexible” pair of contact lenses (without any prescription). The Ortho C lens acts as a catalyst to activate the ciliary muscle to manipulate the lens, which, in turn, activates the rectus muscles to manipulate the eyeball.

John William Yee has made a major personal effort to design preventive methods for this difficult problem, and these methods are effective. It is always difficult to pioneer an alternative treatment in a field as conservative as optometry, and it takes a bold soul to take these first steps. John has made a strong personal commitment to his research. . . . In this book, he offers this knowledge to professionals. . . . His pioneering development of Ortho C shows promise to effectively prevent nearsightedness at the threshold. His standard of professionalism and his commitment to support the welfare of others sets a high example for all of us.
- From the Foreword by Otis S. Brown, Author of How to Avoid Nearsightedness, Waynesboro, PA, United States
A timely publication as the optical professions are currently addressing the explosion of myopia since the 1970s and it is predicted that almost 50% of the worlds population will be myopic by 2050. Today, myopia control is front and center for eye care professionals looking for solutions to control and reverse this condition. They will find that Johns research and subsequent therapy will support their practice and expanding knowledge. Johns dedication to this epidemic is an inspiration. I highly recommended it as required reading for all opticians!

John William Yee, DEd, RO, is a Professor in the optical science faculty at Seneca College, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is a Registered Optician (from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Alberta, Canada), and also holds a DEd (Doctor of Education in Psychology) from the University of Liverpool, UK. John Yee has written numerous journal papers on the relationship between neurology and optometry in the treatment of refractive errors. He opened a research facility with the help of some of his students to research the role of neurology in the treatment of nearsightedness (or myopia). He has also written a number of books on different problems: dealing with bullies, shedding excess weight, and understanding the stock market.
