It was as | had feared. A portly man stood in front of the Walmart Vision Center, he was wearing a smart-looking white coat, no doubt to project an image of medical professionalism, and in his hands was a microfiber cleaning cloth and spray bottle of lens cleaning solution, "What?" I replied. | was caught off guard by his initial question, which was asked without so much as a “hello.” The man looked a bit surprised, like he had never gotten this far. Most people just say "no thanks" or nothing at all, and keep walking without even a glance back. | suppose I'm not most people. "Can |... can clean your glasses for you, sir." he stammered. He was looking embarrassed and | stood there just trying to process it all. He's an optician in a big-box retail store, i's a slow day and his manager figures, why not put a guy out there to draw attention to our awkward, tle, glasses shop? Maybe snare some folks just passing by who don't even notice the vision center. Start a dialog, put names out there, get people talking, ete. The optician's white coat was tight across his prominent belly, his cheeks were flushed, his hairline had long since receded, and on his face sat a pair of wire-framed glasses. This is what really had me transfixed. | had been working on my own eyesight for a solid year at that point and had taught myself how to estimate a person's prescription just by looking at them, Our friend was well past moderate-myopia and was looking out at me through at least a -6.00D lens. Itwas him and |. He, as an optician (low man on the totem pole, at that) was a pawn sitting on the front line, rooks, knights, a king and a queen behind him. |, a house cat that doesn’t understand the game and doesn't want to, | just want to bat the pieces around and lay in the middle of the board... so to speak.

No thanks.” 4 [Page 4 of 18 Page 5 of 18 What is this? Running a YouTube channel taught me three things: 1. People on YouTube are nicer than | expected 2. I'm terrible at making serious videos 3. YouTube videos are a terrible medium for this subject. This is my attempt to share everything that | have learned in the past couple of years. Think of it as a sort of altruistic gift to anyone who's looking for answers. In this book you will find absolutely everything you need to improve your vision. When I say everything you need, | mean it. No money needs to change hands and your search for knowledge should end here. My dream is to see vision improvement become mainstream. | hope this book will educate and inspire you to take back what is rightfully yours: your vision! Who am 1? | could write that I'm just a normal guy, | ike romantic comedies and blah, blah, blah... but that would be allie, The truth is, I'm not a normal guy. For my entire life I've been different. | have an uncommon, first and middle name, used to spend hours reading the encyclopedia, listened to progressive rock instead of pop, could have done well in school but didn't apply myself (my English teachers wil kill me if they find out I've written a book), | chose to play lacrosse instead of football, vocational schoo! instead of college, Linux instead of Windows, Dvorak instead of qwerty, GS500 instead of Ninja 250 — you get the idea Growing up, | admit to using the term “four-eyes” to make fun of my bespectacled classmates — Until had to get glasses myself. | had no trouble seeing the chalkboard at school and always passed the vision screening, but one year my sister didn't pass and | was taken along to the optometrist just for a checkup. | thought that they'd say that my vision was fine and send me on my way, so you can imagine my surprise when it turned out that | was getting glasses too, Wearing glasses was one more thing that made me different and | never felt good about it.
