SCAM ALERT: Restore My Vision, Today and Keep Your Money in Your Wallet

vision“Restore My Vision, Today?”   That’s the name of  a slick  e-mail based advertisement floating around the Net supposedly authored by Dr. Samantha Pearson based upon a “controversial” regimen developed by a Dr. Sen.  The emails send you to an even slicker web site asking for the “low price” of $37 for a booklet about eye exercises “guaranteed” to improve your eyesight.   There, you are treated to a videomercial that touts the “proven way to perfect your vision”.   Is it a scam?   Is it a rip-off?  Does it work?    You’ll never find out,  largely because of an increasingly pernicious Internet industry that offers fake product review sites.    You’ll also never be able to find out about the credentials of the very articulate Dr. Pearson — none apparently exist on the Internet, nor are they provided at her own alleged web site.    So, should you spend the $37?   We recommend not, for the following reasons:

1.  There’s a reason this sales pitch is slick — they spend a lot of marketing money to get it to you.   Who is paying for that?  You are.

2.  If you look for a review of the product, you are deluged with lots of fake review or “scam” sites that simply direct you to the main sales site or offer some pablum talking about how the product is highly rated or recommended.   (such as scamX.com and infoscamreviews.com)   The marketers for this service paid to have these fake sites thwart any customer looking for real reviews.

3.  The author is an unknown.  If the website fails to feature the credentials of the author and/or if a Google search turns up nothing about this person, you can bet this is a marketer driven product.   The fact that the alleged Dr. Pearson has a well-trained English announcers voice with almost perfect diction suggests that the so-called Dr. is not what she seems.

4.  Perhaps most importantly, there is an abundance of free or low-cost vision exercise information on the Internet.    Amazon offers a number of ebooks that cost nothing and provide the kinds of well-established eye exercises that can help vision.  The titles include:  “How to Improve Your Vision Naturally”, “Vision for Life”,  “Eyesight and Vision Cure” and “Living Without Glasses”.    Even easier, you can just click this link and find four eye exercises described by a qualified optomistrist.

5.  The testimonials offered in the video do not offer the full names or backgrounds of the individuals who are touting the product in very terse, well-crafted and well-lighted videos.

In fact, a New York-based optometrist has posted some very useful and time-proven exercises for close-up vision improvement which include:

LETTER READING—for better scanning accuracy and conscious eye control when reading or using a computer. Preparation: Type up a chart with four rows of random letters, just large enough that you can read them while holding the page at a typical reading distance (type size will vary depending on an individual’s vision). Leave space between each row. In row one, type all capitals, one space in between each letter…row two, all lowercase, one space in between each letter…row three, all lowercase, no spaces…row four, wordlike groups of random letters arranged as if in a sentence.
Exercise: Hold the chart with both hands. Looking at row one, read each letter aloud left to right, then right to left. Then read every second letter…then every third letter. If your mind wanders, start over. Over time: When you master row one, try the same techniques with row two…then row three…then row four. If you find that you have memorized parts of the chart, make a new one using different letters.

NEAR AND FAR—for improved focus and focusing speed when switching your gaze from close objects to distant objects (such as when checking gauges on a car as you drive). Preparation: Type a chart with six to eight rows of random capital letters, each letter about one-half inch tall (or as tall as necessary for you to read them from 10 feet away). Tack the chart to a wall and stand back 10 feet.
Exercise: Hold a pencil horizontally, with its embossed letters facing you, about six inches from your nose (or as close as possible without it looking blurry). Read any letter on the pencil, then read any letter on the chart. Keep doing this, switching back and forth as fast as you can without letting the letters blur. Over time: Do this with one eye covered, then the other.

PENCIL PUSHUPS—to promote eye teamwork. All you need is a pencil.
Exercise: Hold a pencil horizontally at eye level 12 inches from your face (or as far as necessary to see the pencil clearly). With both eyes, look at one particular letter on the pencil…keep looking while bringing the pencil closer to your face. If the letter blurs or doubles, it means that one eye is no longer accurately on target—so move the pencil back until the letter is clear once more…then try again to slowly bring the pencil closer while keeping the letter in focus.

THE “HOT DOG”—for improved flexibility of the muscles within the eye that allow the lens to change shape. No props are needed.
Exercise: With your hands at chest height about eight inches in front of you, point your index fingers and touch the tips together, so that your index fingers are horizontal. Gaze at any target in the distance and, without changing your focus, raise your fingers into your line of sight. Notice that a “mini hot dog” has appeared between the tips of your fingers. Still gazing at the distant object, pull your fingertips apart slightly—and observe that the hot dog is now floating in the air. Keep the hot dog there for two breaths…then look directly at your fingers for two breaths, noticing that the hot dog disappears. Look again at the distant object and find the hot dog once again. Continue switching your gaze back and forth every two breaths.
As your close-up vision improves, you may find that you need less-powerful reading glasses—or none at all—for your day-to-day activities.

We recommend that you check out these low-cost or free books or web-based exercises before forking over $37 to the faux doctor.   And beware ANY Net-based sales pitch that has uncredentialed, slick video presentations with no independent reviews. It may not be a scam, but it is probably a rip-off because it is overpriced for what it is offering.   In this case, there’s lots of good vision exercises in the marketplace offered at a fraction of the cost of “Restore My Vision”.   Save your hard-earned money.

  1. All one needs to know that this is a scam is to listen to the opening comment that says, “in the next 3 minutes…” You can be sure that anyone who doesn’t know the difference between 3 minutes and 30 minutes has got to be a scam!

  2. Thank you for a great article! You did an excellent job revealing this scam site. As for eye exercises, I’ve been practicing this complex https://youtu.be/nMKr5SuJSXY for a month so far and it works really well for me. If you download the video with a youtube downloader it allows you permanent access to the video at any time without internet connection.

  3. Whats up very nice site!! Man .. Beautiful .. Wonderful .. I will bookmark your web site and take the feeds also? I’m glad to
    find numerous helpful information right here within the post.

  4. Maay I simply just say what a relief to find somrone thaat genuinely understands what they’re talking about online. You definitely understand how to bring
    an issue to light and make it understandable. Thanks!

  5. Having read this I thought it was really informative. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this information together.

  6. Can someone please explain the exercises that work. I used to have 20/10 vision till age 45yrs. My eyes adjusted to 20/15 to 20/20 and now at age 68 wearing tri lens. I have had advise from many eye specialists and tried eye exercises but nature tends to take it’s course. Your eyes change shapes the older we get and at this time in age there is no sure solution for both eyes to go back to 20/20 vision,even with the best surgery. The sites that can give you a miracle drug to bring back your vision is a bunch of crap and some of the public buys this junk after finding out that it really does not work. I feel that people by nature are always looking for the miracle cure for almost everything and can’t except getting older and having more health issues!

  7. Why users still use to read news papers when in this technological world the whole thing is presented on net?

  8. I’ve been exploring for weblog posts on this topic . Exploring in Yahoo I finally stumbled upon this web site. Reading this information I discovered just what I needed.
    I will make certain to not forget this website and give it a glance regularly.

  9. Thanks for putting out some unbiased information on this,
    I listened to the whole slick presentation. However as a British native the thing that red flagged it for me was that the very precise and correct English diction of “Samantha Pearson” did not match the script she was reading.
    The script was written using language an American would regard as entirely correct, but there are subtle differences. I seriously doubt that someone who sounds as English as “Samantha” ever went to “High School”,
    secondary school or even upper school, maybe, but not “High School”.

  10. That is a good tip especially to those fresh to the blogosphere.
    Brief but very precise info… Many thanks for
    sharing this one. A must read article!

  11. I do believe all of the ideas you’ve introduced to
    your post. They’re really convincing and will certainly work.
    Still, the posts are very quick for novices. May you please prolong them a bit
    from next time? Thank you for the post.

  12. For those that have purchased the book via this scam why not just upload it free to websites. That will take all the profit our of their scam and others can see it for what it is. It will reduce the number of others that will be scammed and end up paying for this book.

    • Posting the book on the Net would be a copyright violation.   While we don’t believe the book is worth what people are being asked to pay, we’d be reluctant to recommend someone taking it upon themselves to post the entire book.   However, there’s nothing inappropriate with a review of the book that discusses the book’s claims and exercises and then evaluates them.   We’ve seen no such review, which is what initially raised our suspicions about this offering.

  13. Thanks very much for your advice – was on the verge of buying as the ad suddently appeared on Yahoo and I have recently experienced problems with eyesight/glasses, so initially got drawn into the smooth patter. As someone else pointed out the price seems to drop every time you reject it, but even at $7 sounds a rip off. Thanks also for the (free) suggested exercises, which I will try out.

  14. Thanks. After spending 30 minutes looking for reviews for the product and consistently coming up on pages trying to sell it or the same page I started from, I finally found your page. The entire time the first pages video was playing in the background and making me wonder if there were eye exercises out there, why hadn’t any of my many eye doctors told me to use them? Seeing a lot of the posts here (and one funny one I found while still poking around on the net) made me realize that nearsightedness is still a curse I’ll have to deal with for the rest of my life 😉 but at least I’ll still be able to see my children’s bright and happy smiles when they’re cuddling with me!! Free of charge!! :p

  15. I have pd as well in my case a warning would not have helped because I am in the business and was curious what they claim, how they present it and how it was sent.
    Controversial, Scam, I think it is trickery but nothing they did is illegal, and some statements pertain a vague truths.

    Of course it does not work!! Buyer be ware, this is not as bad as the African letter that has been circulating for years, you are getting product 80 some pages with a lot of crap that is unsubstantiated. Most of this is not very dangerous but it is very misleading. THE ONLY DANGER IS WHEN PEOPLE STOP TREATMENT FOR THEIR MEDICAL CONDITION LIKE GLAUCOMA. KERATOCONUS, and other medical eye conditions.

    My take on it is DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY, DO NOT BUY IT !!!
    For people in the optical business and are curious like me, I might even consider sending a hard copy for free, just cover the postage.

  16. Thanx for this objective information! I saw so many fake testimonials about this.What worry’s me the most is that our whole live and economy is in demand by info & media marketing mechanism.We lay our trust in internet meekly ,while at the same time our children are aloud to get educated in learning to earn money and get the most profit by focus on marketing techniques instead of focus on humanity and results on the long term.Ok we all need to make living and a thief is just a thief but I think the best way to prevent future scam in common is to learn our children that if marketing is not used proper (greedy?) it is a curse.

  17. lol ! and here i thought this really is a rebellion towards the eye care industry !!! i’m really ! after seen’g that 27 minutes video i had goosebumps 😀 i thought that was it !

    thank’s admin !

  18. Michael, it is not that “does not work” only. It is because they are hidden, they can receive your money and you cannot request nothing because they are anonymous.
    So if you pay you can receive something or not. It is not guaranteed.

    If it were free of charge, there was no problem. But it is not.

    I was tired looking that video because she always promised me that will tell me a “secret” but that is not real. There are no “secret”. And as always, why they don’t just show me the secret from the begining? so I can know if the “secret” can work as they say or not?
    Because they are selling nothing more than some information. So, why don’t say “we sell information about this”… Bah, they only want to sell, they don’t want to help anybody. That is because it is a scam. It is a scam, a bull shit.

    You can call it Dr Sen, or Dr Shit, or Dr Foo, or Dr Bar. It is nothing, it is a nickname only.

    Scam scam scam, lol.

  19. I am not a marketer but I am someone who uses the Internet a great deal and is sick to death of the barrage of whining I see from people who, just because something did not work for them, start screeming “cheat, scam and fraud”.
    The only reason you can do this is because you are as untraceable as the people you complain about.
    In the material world such pronouncements would soon find you in court facing charges of slander and/or libel.

    • While we disagree with your position, you do raise an important point. Unlike the marketers behind this scam — and contrary to your assertion — SanDiegoCAN is very traceable. We are upfront about who we are, our relevant experience (30+ years) in consumer protection and how we can be reached. We even respond to emails. Moreover, because of our legal training we are very certain that nothing we post is slanderous nor factually inaccurate.

  20. Hello and thank you for this site!!! I took my glasses off last night and the temple broke off from the frame. No fix for this and the frame and lenses are only one year old. This email came to me this morning and I thought AHA! The longer it went on, the surer I was that this was a gimmick and so my search began.
    Thank You!

  21. Pay attention to these kind of miracle methods, guys …
    But words fly and results stay again; these guys (called themselves DOCTORS) don’t make differences between eye diseases: the method would cure all the eye problems.
    Guys, I’m a doctor and I would believe in miracles. But miracles are in God only.
    In the site, you can read:
    “If you’re one of the millions of people around the world who suffer from short sightedness (Myopia), long sightedness (Hyperopia), Presbyopia, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration or any other eye condition then you’re in the right place, as believe it or not, these conditions and more can be completely reversed, by yourself, from the comfort of your own home and without having to visit a single optometrist, doctor or surgery”. Do you know anything about macula degeneration? You can read on the web, so you can judge, you don’t need to be a doctor.
    I hope I helped you, friends.
    PS: pay attention to “money back”: I had a BAD experience with DigicamCash two months ago: I ask money back but no answer, no money back. It Changes the argument but same astonishing words, same miracles

  22. I purchased the product, but I purchased also their membership offer for 1 dollar plus.
    After the payment in the e-mail I found out I paid for 10 days membership, after this will be a monthly paiment of 25,39 Eur plus taxes (around 30 euros) per month.
    I written them back telling them I don’t want anymore their membership because I don’t have 30 euro per month to pay them.
    Fortunately I paid with a prepay card so what should happen if they will not answer me and there will not money in the card for future months?
    thank you in advance

    • Thanks for the heads up about the 30 euro monthly payment — which seems unduly high given what they are offering to you. In terms of payment, we also encourage people to pay with credit cards, as (at least in the U.S) the user has more legal protection. A prepaid card might be useful as you can get rid of any balance on the card and it effectively becomes useless to the merchant trying to charge against it. So it might be best for you if you simply use up any balance on the prepaid card and then get a new one to use for your other transactions.

  23. Somebody should upload the product for people to try out if it’s considered a scam. That will serve them right.

    • While not a bad idea, it is a tricky one as it could raise legal copyright issues if we were to post the books contents on our website. However, you point is still well taken. Most responsible booksellers will offer excerpts and tables of contents to readers to review — just as consumers can review books in a bookstore before choosing to buy. Whenever an online seller refuses to give you in-depth information about the book they are selling, this should trigger some alarms in your mind.

  24. Oh, I just remembered, not all vision problems are caused by the eyes, brain injuries can also lead to partial or complete loss of vision as can losing an eye in an accident.

    Now, in the UK this would make their video illegal as FALSE ADVERTISING as it claims ‘no matter what the condition is with your eyes, this program can give you 20/20 vision in a little as 14 days….. think I will send a link to the ASA in the UK at least.. people in other countries should send it to their version of the ASA

  25. The ‘Restore my vision today’ method is based on the work of the American eye-doctor William Bates, (a real M.D.) (the Bates method). He published a book in 1920. The book is FREE of COPYRIGHTS, so you can legally download it for free, if you can find it.
    On Amazon you can find a paperback called “The Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses (Paperback)” for only shippingcosts. The original book is sold for $18.44.
    About his method: I found one recent paper in a peer-reviewed magazine: Ophthalmic Physiol Opt. 2013 Mar;33(2):75-7. doi: 10.1111/opo.12034.
    The Bates method, elixirs, potions and other cures for myopia: how do they work?
    Elliott DB.
    Conclusions: there is no evidence that any of his exercisis work, and his theory is not quite up to date either. One exercise is even dangerous: Looking straight into the sun! -don’t try this at home!-
    Yet many people report results, how can this be? There is a short-term effect called ‘blurr adaptation’ where your eye adapts to a sudden blurr, e.g. when you suddenly take off your glasses. Long-term effects can actually be achieved by ‘perceptual learning’ that is a lot of practice on demanding visual tasks.
    Given that the Bates method emphasizes repeated relaxation of the eyes, rather than repeated practice on a demanding task, it seems likely that its positive effects are dominated by blur adaptation plus the placebo effect and memorisation rather than perceptual learning.
    Feel free to give it a try, but only for free!
    Better advice is to search for good eye exercises and not to expect miracles; don’t throw away you glasses, but you can shave off 0.5 or even 1 point off your prescription.

  26. Thanks for the info. The clincher for me is that none of their ‘research’ has been published in a reputable, peer-reviewed journal. They say that optometrists and the like tried to suppress them – may be true – but if this is good research, no matter how controverial or unorthodox, it WILL be published.

  27. Too bad YAHOO tolerates this type of scams, many of them, more particularly those selling pharmaceutical products and nutritional complements supposed to improve our health while in fact being harmful, sometimes even dangerous.

  28. Thanks a lot! You just saved me from throwing $37 to the toilet. I was so ready to do it, but the abusive never-ending, repetitive, perfect but obnoxious diction made me do some web research before the video even ended.
    Too damn long boring speech gives them away, but I needed something like your review to finally convince me.
    I am a dental surgeon (really)… by the way, have you heard of my guaranteed method to fix crooked teeth without braces? It only takes 7 minutes a day of exercises for two weeks and you will have a perfect smile.
    Guaranteed! I will tell you how for only $36 (cheaper than fixing your eyes).

  29. I listened to the long spiel that sounded wayyyyy too good to be true. Noticed at the end that PayPal was NOT an option for payment. Noticed in these threads that PayPal had been used in the past. Looks like PayPal bailed on a bad situation. I too always use PayPal for online purchases due to that extra layer of buyer protection. I am reluctant to purchase online if paying by PayPal is not an option. That stopped me right away and helped me to consider internet research.

  30. Jeez, thanks for an honest review. I had seen more of these types of marketing projects before: “amazing program with exercises designed for women to activate their fat-bruning hormones”, “the definite way to becoem attractive and have a better social life”. They are all the same: lenghtly videos of over 30 minutes of “why my product is amazing”: testimones, some “touching” story about the author being once fat, bullied, sick, etc., telling you how screwed up the market is and how they are trying to keep this info from you, and then repeating the same thing over and over in different words so that it appears to give you new info while only attempting to brainwash you. I’ve never really felt any curious for these products until they hit my pain point; my eyesight. I’m a desinger and graphic artist with a +7 grad in my glasses because of my hereditary hypermetropia. Not only I’m very afraid of my sight getting worse because my job and my hobbies all depend on my eyes, but I’m also very concious about it because my glasses make my eyes look HUGE, and I was in fact bullied because of them for years. So yes, this “restore your eyesight” played with my feelings and for a moment I considered it.

    However… paranoid me was afraid this would end up hurting me, specially since I could not find any reviews, or at least the credentials of the author. I’m very picky when I look for references. I would not trust my eyes to anyone, I have enough problems choosing the right optometrist, as to just trust some “Dr.Sen” on the internet. It sounded fishy so I gave it some research.

    Yours seem to be the only thing in the internet with another opinion. All of the rest of the links in Google redirected me to more marketing, more advertising… in the end, more “get this mystery product”. None of them seemed like real people talking about their experiences and sharing some of the content of the program, only more marketing, more of this repeated information.

    I am very glad I found this review, thanks for your tips on detecting scam and for providing alternative options for this eyesight issue. You just saved me a good amount of money and a bitter experience.

    Greetings 🙂

  31. These SOB’s have now billed me 4 times and I’ll have to cancel my debit card my bank tells me.
    Is there no recourse against these crooks?

    • The more of these stories we learn about, the greater the chances for some recourse. However, it isn’t clear to us that your debit card is an American Express card. Also, was it a Costco card?

  32. This is what I wrote back them back after getting tired of listening.
    I to check out all products and appreciate all the comments in this blog.

    First of all, your video is too looooooooooooooooooooooooong. I hate hearing the
    same crap over and over again. I mean you constantly repeat the same stories,
    reviews and testimonies over and over and over and over and over again.
    I never made it to the end because of all of the repeating of the same
    crap information. An old sales training statement – KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid!
    This should win THE OVER SELLING VIDEO OF THE YEAR!
    Present the facts ONCE and then get on with the closing of the sale!

    Second, do a complaints on-line against RESTORE MY VISION TODAY and see what people
    are really saying about this program. There are some good reviews as to not to trust this product
    or the company hawking this program. What are you doing to correct these negative
    complaints? I did not hear anything about these complaints in your extremely boring
    and lengthy video . However, I did stop listening after about 15 to 20 minutes of the same repeatable
    non sense. Shorten the video and clean up the complaints and then try to sell me on this product!

    Mike

  33. Thanks for the information, it really looked like a scam, so now I have no doubt about it.
    Yet I think it’s really sad some “marketers” try to take avantage of people who are a bit desperate with their bad vision…

  34. I am an affiliate marker and I saw your post, so I decided to comment on this. I promote this products and they pay a certain commission to me for each sale. I just want to mention here that there’s lots of negativity in the comments. I get at least 15-25 sales each month for “Restore my vision” and there are no more than 2-3 refunds for this products. I personally know some people to whom I have promoted this product directly. They are satisfied with the information given in the eBook. I don’t promote junk products because their refund ratio is too high. It may not turn out to be useful for each person but I see that many of my customers are satisfied with it (90%+). So, let’s not call it a scam. The transaction is secured by clickbank (14 years) old company and you can always get a refund, if you are not satisfied. This is not a market pitch and just my thoughts about it. And, I am not promoting any of my affiliate link here 🙂

    • We appreciate that you took the time to add to discussion. Just to make sure that no one is confused, the thrust of the blog and the responsive comments is that the information being offered is overly expensive for what is being provided. Restore My Vision and other “information” offerings are frequently taking freely available information and providing it in an easily digestible but overly expensive format. If that is all they did, then the premium being charged is the equivalent of a “convenience” fee. However, it lapses into a scam when it makes claims designed to lead consumers to believe that the information is “secret” or “unavailable to anyone other than the purchaser” when, in fact, it is either readily available or just downright wrong. Restore My Vision falls into the former category. Oh, and Clickbank is not an overly reliable transaction agent; we’ve documented numerous complaints about the difficulty in getting refunds from Clickbank. So we aren’t big fans of Clickbank — especially for these kinds of information-based services.

    • There is a lot of negativity with reason and hopefully there will be a lot more!!

      Authors of these scam websites and people like you – affiliate marketers that promote bogus products for personal gain should be behind bars. Read your comment – you are just washing your consciousness and finding excuses to keep profiting by selling lies. The reason people do not ask for refund does not make the product a good one. You are just feeding them lies and they believe into them, because they want to. Psychology of marketing and snakeoil salesmen. Nothing new.

      I am a medical doctor and I can GUARANTEE that none one of your customers will achieve any benefit. Bates method and all methods based on it are flawed and based on the wrong assumptions (i.e. myopia is due to enlarged eyeball, not elongated). The reason it is rejected by mainstream medicine is lack of effectiveness, not conspiracy as some of people may think. Effectiveness of any alternative method would quickly undermine any possible conspiracy. Same goes for most alternative “miracle” offers for cancer, diabetes and similar.

      And you talk about Clickbank and their “honesty”? The pure capitalist company with solely profit on their mind. They’ll put anything in their marketplace as long as they can get away with it without the FTC and US government coming after them. Just recently they banned most offers from their network that violated FTC guidelines once they started shuting down affiliate networks. If they are such an honest company, why did they allow bogus products in their marketplace earlier? Once FTC start coming after “miracle cures” and similar scams, you’ll see how quickly they will ban your little “honest” program from their network.

      They also offer refund policy because they know the majority will not ask for a refund regardless of their satisfaction. Some will forget, some will never know they even had an option to get their money back. You are a a marketer and by your numbers I’d say rather successful one and I am sure you know all of this.

      You have to seriously redefine your idea of scam! As long as you continue to promote this offer, you’ll be nothing more than scammer – an associate of snakes oil salesmen!

  35. I was born blind, but when I saw the price; I just had to have it!

    Like Mark, my eyesight returned like it was before I was born.

    I asked for a refund that very day because, hey; It’s a digital download!
    Bhy can I not scam a scam?

    Well now I have to learn how to type in a sighted world but will not give up my corner where I accept donations for the poor children of the world. By the way I am not a doctor, but I pretend I am one in the Hospital parking lot.

    Oh, thanks for this excellent review sir!

    • Appreciate the injection of a little humor into this discussion. Nice touch, Ron. Hope your Hospital parking lot business continues to prosper.

  36. So glad I found this review page. I was literally just about to go and order this and thought, “let me just do one more search for reviews.” Saved some money and sounds like hassle from what a couple of the people that bought it have said. Found your suggestions on Amazon and added them and a few others to my wish list for further review. Thanks!

  37. Thank you for this very truthful Blog. I was just about to put in my credit card number when a light went off inside me telling me to look these clowns up before giving my hard earned cash./. So i typed in the words “Restore my Vision Today by Dr Sen and Samantha Pearson” and “”VOILA”” more complaints than i want ot see .. I knwo that this is a scam and will alert everyone i knwo on Facebook and my family and my whole city where i reside. These people are very Slick and do a perfectly good job at touting the scam they are trying to sell. also noticed that all of the people that were so called patients of hers were also using professional cameras and well they are really good. i juts hope that not too many people have been scammed by these wolves. in sheep clothing.. Shame on them It always pay to do your homework prior to giving your credit card number out on the web.. What a crock of Crappola.OH AND ANOTHER THING.. THEY USE A SITE CALLED CLICKBANK.. BE VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE MAY MISUNDERSTAND IT AND THINK IT IS CITIBANK BECAUSE IT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR AND SINCE MOST PEOPLE WHO WERE LOOKING TO USE THIS HAVE BAD EYESIGHT OR OTHER EYE RELATED ISSUES T MAY (AS I DID) LOOK LIKE CITIBANK AND CITIBANK BACKS UP ALL TRANSACTIONS THAT ARE BOGUS.. BUT CLICKBANK I HAVE NEVER HARD OF. JUST BE CAREFUL FOLKS.. oh and sorry about the caps i did that to get my point across. God bless…

  38. thank you so much! i acttually was going to buy this but you changed my mind… does anyone know about any exercises tthat i can have for free? I dont want to spend money and im saving up.. please and thank you

  39. thanks for the valuable info as well as your link to the 4 eye exercises. like many i thought it sounded like valuable information and was doing some research prior to ordering and glad i did as i have changed my mind. I recently started working on having perfect vision by – as Ken K above put it “telling my brain i have perfect vision”. it is actually a science whereby you can establish new neural pathways in your brain that believe you have 20/20 vision and your vision responds accordingly. I believe the term is neuroplasticity.

  40. Dr J Lieberman has in his Vita has 48 articles, of these 1 has a link to the single article. I clicked this singular link, it took me back to a page that I was already on,A giant circle going nowhere.” Also, an extensive search of the journal mentioned provided no results.

  41. I have always done research especially when people claim to be Dr’s. I did an extensive search for DR Sen, this research had no results. 1st warning sign, then Samantha Pearson. Nothing, not even degree, schools attended, Nothing again.The other citation included in the video, Dr Sen, Prof Francis Young and Dr J. Lieberman apparently are questionable. Dr J Lieberman has in his Vita has 48 articles, of these 1 has a link to the single article. I clicked this singular link, it took me back to a page that I was already on,A giant circle going nowhere.” Also, an extensive search of the journal mentioned provided no results. The journals it was using for reference did exist, but had no information or mention of the authors or these Dr’s in these journals. However I have in my research many legitimate sources did appear. I did check them out, and in my purview of them IMHO feel these are books that can be looked at and cost less than the “Restore My Vision, Today” program.A list of book I have found follows:

    Vision Without Glasses
    Natural Clear Vision
    Vision For Life
    Eyesight and Vision Cure
    Living without Glasses
    Improve Your Vision Naturally

    This is the best Research I was capable of doing in the limited time I had.

  42. Thank you for your website alerting the public about this scam. What got me was the annoying loud ‘beep’ when their infomercial video started. I am a multitasker with several windows open at the same time and the stupid beep just about jolted me out of my chair. Being an internet marketer, I immediately understood that it was a deliberate way to get people to focus (in a bad way) and that set the tone for my experience in listening to their slick perfect-diction voice narrating the snake oil vid to try to peel some of my hard earned money off me. Irritated already, I immediately started to search for a review on the offering, before the vid was even finished, and found your website with no problem. I appreciate your working hard to help folks know the good from the bad. Incidentally, I have tried the eye exercises a few years back, but, as the doctor who posted here mentioned, there is no eye exercises in the world that will take care of some of the reasons why folks need glasses – and I happen to have a few of those reasons. Thanks again, keep up the good work!

  43. I bought this book and before it even finished downloading, my vision was significantly better. In addition, my male pattern baldness went away. Coincidence? I don’t think so. But the kicker is, my herpes is gone and I noticed I had a erection. Worth every penny. I may buy it again tomorrow.

  44. The long excessive talk in the infomercial format was a dead give away for me. I am a firm believer in the adage: “If it sounds too good to be true…” I’m glad that you are making people aware that it is a scam.

  45. One person stated he received his refund and he used Paypal. Well, that is why you got your refund.
    I buy online all the time as it is easier than going to stores. I almost bought this product too.
    It is always a good idea to get up and walk way from the compter and think it over, before you buy.
    On a positive note I only use Paypal when I shop, it offers a third layer of protection and I never have to put in my bank, credit card or debit card. Paypal fights for you. Plus they have never been hacked. They have only had to defend me three times in 8 years, but the got my money back each time.
    Thanks for a good and objective review.

  46. I am an eye doctor and am completely appalled by the claims of this program. Prescription glasses and contacts are based on the shape of the eye, that’s why vision worsens more in the teenage or growing years. What’s more appalling is to infer that diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration can be cured with eye exercises. Let’s see–maybe if I move my eyes around the chemical mediators in my bloodstream won’t try to create new blood vessels in the back of my eye that could break and bleed (“wet” macular degeneration). What a joke. Unfortunately the elderly who are most at risk of eye disease are the most trusting of these kinds of scams. Makes me angry. I don’t work off commission, corneal ectasia isn’t a build-up of fluid in the cornea, etc…etc….they aren’t even close to understanding vision. Interestingly, while I am on my rant, vision therapy is taught at all optometry schools throughout North America. So there’s no big secret….but it doesn’t “cure” prescriptions or glaucoma. It can be effective for amblyopia (“lazy eye”), focusing and eye pointing issues, etc…. No big secret the tens of thousands of optometrists like me are all “keeping under wraps.” Go see your eye doctor. Not everyone in the world has the luxury we do of getting an exam and new glasses or contacts often at the visit.

    • Thank you for taking the time to educate our blog readers. Like you, we were alarmed by suggestions that eye exercises can combat glaucoma or macular degeneration. And it is good to know that you agree about the availability of low-cost or free information about eye exercises. We appreciate your expert input.

  47. Amazing research you guys did to warn the public on Perfect Vision scam. I would have been caught in this scam today 13 Jun 2014 but for my curiosity to find the truth. I stumbled into your revelations and I cannot but believe it, more so when I read through others experiences and negative testimonials. God bless you guys for this great job you are doing.Thanks.

  48. I was so close to making a purchase, but the fact that there was no shipping address for the “books” that I was buying alerted me to a possible scam. In fine print, it reads that they know the geographic location of my computer. Really? Thank you for the advice. I did NOT make this purchase.

  49. I bought this program recently and I found the book very informative and helpful. I have nothing to gain by posting this review, but there is a lot of negativity for no reason. You should try the program first before complaining. I am happy with my results so far.

    • While some commenters have complained, most of the complaints are about not getting value for their money. Our alert focuses on that issue. It isn’t that this product is worthless; it may possibly be providing some useful information. Our concern is that is charging a very high premium for information that is already readily available for free from reputable sources.

  50. Actually if you try to leave the site the price goes down to $27 then $7. Glad I found this site as was tempted to purchase. I really hate the idea of upsells as well.

  51. Me Too! I paid Restore My Vision on 5/15/2014, but decided that very same day to cancel and request the return of my $37.00, and have been requesting every other day since then. They keep using the excuse of not receiving the “Order ID” I was supposed to have received at the initial purchase, which I do not have or recall, and have notified them over and over that I do not have said “Order ID”. It has now been 16 days and I am still waiting for the return of my $37.00

  52. 6/1/2014: received notification from Restore My Vision Today and Paypal that my full payment was refunded so anyone who buys this crap have hope. I’m not sure if Paypal put pressure on them or they actually refunded in good faith. Good Luck Nelson P.

  53. The ad popped up on my weather channel so I thought it might be good because surely the weather channel wouldn’t allow crooked stuff on their website would they? And maybe they didn’t – I guess it could be hacked – not sure what that is but I know it’s not good….But I decided to do some research first – way too many “testimonials” to be true…if it were that good and that many people had it work for them then most everyone would know about it by now…..and glasses would be a thing of the past….thanks for your research…..you gave us some of the most valuable thing you have – your time.

  54. Well it’s too late for the advice but thanks. Just paid for it 05/29/2014 at $37 and was crazy enough to take the 2nd offer for $47. The ‘pitch’ is very convincing so you really can get suckered in. After getting the 2nd offer it kept throwing more offers at me until I had to quit out of my browser. I downloaded all the material they sent me with a link with no problem but the material you get is royalty free looking .pdf, .mp3, and .mp4 files with eye care tips you could find yourself on the internet. It’s a total scam and I’ve asked for a full refund from the site and contacted Paypal which was my payment method, to reverse my payment and reported the site as a scam. I’ll link back to this blog with an update if I ever get my refund. Grrrrrrr.

  55. This program is a complete scam & waste of money. I asked for a refund the day I got it and have still been getting the run around from a Laura Middleton, prob. not even her real name.
    They send you a bunch of literature that not once referances Dr. Sen or whatever his supposed name is. The PDF they sent was mostly definitions of certain eye ailments only idenifying what your eye deficit is called medically.
    I was expecting a series of eye excercises which doesnt exist in their package. They talk about nutrition that is good for the eyes and even telling your brain that you can see clearer as one of the cures, gimme me a break. There was one figure 8 excercise but it didnt tell you how long to do it or how often.
    This is a complete waste of $37., they try to get you to invest more after the initial $37. also. Glad I wasnt dumb enough to go any deeper. Don’t spend your money here!!!!!!

  56. I have tried to unsubscribe from these emails, also christian mingle, end diabetes,car purchases, testosterone etc etc etc

    I used to get about 1 or 2 ‘spam’ a month, now I get about 15 a day. Even though they go into my junk folder, they are still

    an invasion of my privacy. Can they be forced to stop through legal means ? I live in Canada. Thanks !!

    • Hi Greg. You aren’t alone. Spam is and will continue to be plagued the Net. There are some strategies that one can use to reduce or control spam, but there are few, if any, legal means by which an individual can stop spam. It is largely done by large companies who have the resources and economic incentives to crack down on mass spammers, such as the ones that you cite.

  57. Thank you for this review, both for the fact you’re NOT a fake “scam alert” site as is so often the case with things like this, as well as not outright denouncing the claims and at the same time also providing useful alternatives!

    I was already about to go onto Youtube to look up similar info as you can find just about anything for free on youtube anyway.

    However I’d like to point out one thing – if you’re going to make a credible review – please review the information thoroughly before you write your review.

    At no point in the video presentation did I ever see or hear any claim that “Samantha Pearson” is a Dr. – nor does her title under the product name claim she’s a doctor – only “Dr. Sen” is claimed to be a doctor. So of course you’re not going to find any credentials about her.

    I too am suspicious that she’s even a real person – or even if she IS real and even if the story IS true – I’m in agreement with you – I highly doubt the narrator is actually the person known as “Samantha Pearson”.

    While a couple of the testimonies sounded natural – the overwhelming majority were just plain rehearsed and not very good at all.

    The last one – which from a marketing perspective, you would think would be the clincher, the tear jerker, the one to “set the hook” as it were – was actually the worst of them all and the guy may as well have had the script in his hand with his head down reading it that it was that bad!!

    Thanks again for being the voice in the “crowd” of fake sites standing out with at least an honest observation!

    • Thanks for your observations. As to our doing our homework, believe it or not, Samantha Pearson is referred to as an “Dr.”. It is in the video but also on other websites. Check out this one, for example. We really do work hard to make sure we get our facts right.

  58. Thanks for an honest assessment. It took a while to find this page after navigating through numerous fake reviews. My gut told me to avoid this scam, but it was so compelling… I’m glad I didn’t waist my money. Thanks!

  59. Thanks for the honest review and alternate titles. The other “review sites” weren’t even comprehensible.

  60. Thank you for the information. I believe you simply because I hit 15 other review sites touting it was not a scam and sending me right back to the Restore my Vision Today site. Some people are just plain “DIRTY”.

  61. Thank you for the review…it’s such a pain when we land on the “fake” review sites…I’m definitely steering clear. Thanks also for the book titles to check out.

  62. Thank you, I think that you are the only independent review of this product on google, it took me 3 pages to find you. I would not trust any company that tries to flood out any independent reviews.
