After five unsuccessful surgeries on the lenses of his eyes, which left him with massive scar tissue, glaucoma, cataracts, cross-sightedness and nystagmus (involuntary rapid eye movement), his doctors pronounced his condition hopeless and he was certified permanently legally blind. Today, he holds a current unrestricted California driver’s license, and his vision continues to improve. From 20/2000
(able to see from one foot what a normally sighted person sees from 100 feet) to 20/60 (70% of normal vision)! Through his many books, and his School For Self-Healing in San Francisco, Meir Schneider's mission is to spread his method of vision restoration and holistic bodywork.
