Rhonda Lee achieved a remarkable transformation at MyVisionFirst, improving her measured eyesight from 20/40 to 20/15 during a five-day intensive program. By focusing on the eye-brain connection rather than just clarity, she eliminated her need for reading glasses, resolved motion sickness, and avoided invasive refractive lens exchange surgery.

The interview
Can you describe your overall experience with MyVisionFirst?
My overall experience was phenomenal. The people were absolutely wonderful, accommodating, friendly, helpful, and made me feel special. There was constant interaction, asking how I'm doing and making sure the sessions and exercises were working for me. I had fun.
What vision challenges were you facing before starting the program?
I was needing reading glasses, which I don't like. I had trouble focusing close-up to far away, and sometimes it wasn't even clear because I have under-prescribed or weaker contact lens prescriptions. I was also getting motion sickness in the back seat of cars.
How did you discover Dr. Appelbaum and vision therapy?
Two days before I was scheduled to get refractive lens exchange surgery, my functional medicine doctor said I should consider something natural like vision therapy. She sent me a link to a YouTube video with Dr. Appelbaum. I was already mentally prepared for surgery, but I watched the video and was convinced to try this first.
What was the most surprising outcome of the five-day intensive?
What surprised me most was the outcome. At the beginning of the five-day intensive, they measured my eyesight to be 20/40. At the end of the five-day intensive, they did the same exact measurements and measured my eyesight at 20/15.
What did you learn about the difference between vision and eyesight?
Dr. Appelbaum taught me that vision is the way the brain processes information through the eyes. It's way more than just how clearly my eyes see; it's hand-eye coordination and eye tracking. It broadens the definition of what vision is versus just eyesight being the clarity of the eyes seeing.
How has your life changed since completing the program?
One of the most notable outcomes is my eyesight. It is absolutely clear. I can see clearly in the distance and up close, and I don't need reading glasses. That is huge.

Rhonda Lee participated in a five-day intensive program. Her eyesight was measured at 20/40 at the start and reached 20/15 by the end of the five days.
