To whom it may concern I’m writing this comment because it is a pleasure to share my grateful experience about how visual activities and programs have increased my memory capacities, comprehension and speed. At the beginning of the semester (June 2010) Mr. Lewis invited me to participate in the program. I was skeptical. But then, little by little , I noticed that using the exercises and using the programs, my ability of memorization was increasing. Now, I am able to memorize nine to ten digits (verses six to seven initially) in my mind. Also I can memorize different kinds of data that I could not before getting into the program. I recommend anyone to try it, you will notice the difference.
Thanks Mr. Lewis Laura
Above Maria Morante is demonstrating the peripheral vision activity. Maria stated "This is a great chance for me and I am taking advantage of it. Since beginning the vision activities I feel more confident...I even notice my classmates are getting better...I feel more relaxed when I read...I use to have pressure in my eyes but after exercises I feel much less pressure. I do not have headaches anymore. My reading speed is improving."
Maria has also had a significant gain of "9" in CASAS testing from January to March 2011. And Maria has finally qualified in practice test to take the Math GED test with a average of over "500" in the required time restraints(In which finishing the test in the required time was her major goal for the vision program).
Daniel Chavez (First GED graduate, 4/13/11, involved with the vision program)
Daniel spoke to the High School Subjects class and related that he was amazed at the
minimum amount of time that he spent in the vision program and how it
positively impacted him in his studies.
More Testimonials from Friday 2011/2012 vision class
Ever since I started using the Overlays, I feel more comfortable, I can read more, and my eyes don’t hurt. I am not too tired or sleepy to read. I like this class, it is good for me. Feb 24, 2012, M.P.
I feel very good for use the overlays, because before when I was reading my eyes hurt and also the sun light bothered me. My eyes would often get red and I didn’t feel well. Now reading experience is good and I spend more time reading. The blue color overlays works out for me. I would like everyone who needs overlays to get help. March 9, 2012, L. R.
My experience is; when I use the Overlays for the first time I felt my mind fresh, very, very fresh, and clean. It was a good experience because I felt fine and something different to my mind that never felt before. Now I use my color overlays when I use my computer and it helps me a lot, the light doesn’t bother me. Friday March 9, 2012, M. C.
I been few weeks using the overlay and I feel better than before, when I had to read without overlay. Now I feel comfortable. I like to read more for a longer period and my eyes adjust better to the light with the overlay. I have seen that my test scores are better. I hope it helps me every day in my studies. I’m so happy with this method, thanks for this opportunity Mr. Lewis. March 9, 2012, D. O.C.
This week I set the color sheet on my laptop and everyone at my house asked what it was for. I explained it to them and they seemed pretty interested. They said it did feel better for their eyesight as well. March 16, 2012, A. R..
This week I read some magazines with my overlays and my eye sight felt more relaxed. Without the brightness I felt like I was more into what I was reading about, I’ve noticed that I don’t skip lines as much. March 9, 2012, .A.
)I don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am with this program, before I got screened I couldn’t be possible for me to finish reading a chapter. I would like to share this information to everyone that my own experience may help to help other people. I have many goals to reach, that I’m positive about because I know I’ll do it. My overlay is the perfect tool to learn and get out the smart person in me! I had a meeting with my son’s teacher and I was disappointed to hear the same news that he is not reaching his goals on reading, as his mother I am concerned. I see my vision problems in him; his comprehension and sensitivity to light. March 9, 2012 L. O.
I feel the difference using the Overlays, it was possible to read for a long time without getting a headache and my eyes didn’t hurt. It helps a lot when working on the computer. It blocks out the brightness, it improved flow and fluency. I’m so happy, no more Tylenol every day! Feb 10, 2012, L.O.
Hi everybody yup! Well to start you off I had a so, so week. I had a hard time reading and staying focus, even with mu overlays it was still very difficult for me to do my work. My eyes where burning and watery. I couldn’t figure out why I still hurting and it hit me, the words are too small for me to read, then I started messing around with the font and found out that I can read better and faster with big and bold words now I experimented with sunglasses and reading glasses, and found out that I need aqua blue sunglasses that makes the words bigger when I read. I hope that it finally works. When I tried the sunglasses and reading glasses my eyes didn’t hurt. March 2, 2012, D. O..
When I didn’t have the overlay I had really bad experience. I had trouble concentrating on my work, reading and learning. Everything I am suppose to learn would not stay in my head. I couldn’t read fast and I would skip lines and the words would get blurry. Sometimes I would fall asleep even if what I was reading interested me. Now that I have the Aqua and blue gray overlays I concentrate more; all my problems I had went away. I can actually finish reading a book and get good reading grades. March 2, 2012, G. B.
The overlay has an important role that should never been taken lightly. It makes people feel more comfortable in many ways. I personally feel better when I use it, over my computer or over my books when I am reading. The overlay has improved my eyesight. Now when I am reading I can enlarge my periods of time, and I feel comfortable. Before I started to use the overlay I had a lot of problems especially with sunlight or computer light. The overlay has improved my sight when I am reading and also I don’t get distracted easily. March 2, 2012, J.T.
This is my fourth week using Overlays and it is all positive outcomes. I found myself reading more than I use to, especially reading an article on the computer. My eyes don’t get so tired. I noticed that eyes don’t get watery and stressed. March 16, 2012, E. R..
This week I started good but on Tuesday using my overlays in Ms. Valencia class, I left and forgot my Overlays on the computer, and of course I’ve got problems. My reading was slow and inefficient because I used only one Overlay. I notice now how much I need to use two. Feb 3, 12, E. M.
I am very happy using my Overlays, because every time that I use them they help me a lot. I hope soon I can have my glasses that would be wonderful. I would carry them with me always, in case I need to read a special document that would be very helpful to me. Feb 12, 2012, E.M.
Dear journal, ever since I started using this overlay it helps me a lot in my reading and it helps me focus. I understand more about my reading experience. My eyes get tired easily because of the light and sunlight, and without using this overlay it makes it hard for me to focus and pay attention on what I’m doing. My eye sight is very sensitive, sometimes it becomes watery, burning, and tired. When I’m doing my work exercise the overlay leads my brain into thinking better and it helps reduce symptoms disorder. March 2, 2012, E. D.
Last week I received my Blue Agua Overlays to use in class but at the time of the test I experimented a lot of brightness coming out of the overlay. Then I tried to face it in a vertical way. It helped me to see and comprehend better. Feb 10,2012, E. B.
Last week I experimented and I arrive to the conclusion that what bothers me the most is the brightness on the background of what I read and the fluorescent lights in the class rooms. I found an option on the computer screen that lets me lower the brightness. It helps me to read faster and improve my comprehension. Now I am reading lines per min. faster than when I first started. March 3, 2012, E. B
Hi my experience with the color Overlays is working. I put on my TV too and it’s working. The headaches disappear. Thank you for the program. March 2, 2012, P. G.
I feel happier and more relaxed. I use to be mad almost all the time. I would be tired and had headaches, back pain, and blurry watery eyes. Stressed out I wasn’t able to enjoy coming to school because of how my eyes use to feel and my back. Now I could look at people eyes when they are talking to me. Before it was difficult, my eyes would feel itchy, watery and I couldn’t have straight eye contact with people. I understand what I’m reading without skipping words. I am reading slower but understanding more of what I’m reading. Before I use to read faster but not being able to understand what I was reading. I use to feel sleepy all the time, not any more. I feel much better now and I feel very happy about this. I feel more relaxed now and calm. Before I use to feel and be hyper, not any more, I feel better, much better. Jan 27, 2012, A.D..
My reading has gotten better but at times I still read fast and do not remember what I have read. If I reread I understand better. Rereading seems to be better for me but its slows me down when I take a test. Jan 20, 2012, M. A.
This week I used my Overlays a lot because I was reading a book that Mr. Parson gave me two weeks ago. My Overlay helped me to understand better. I didn’t have problems tracking from line to line. I didn’t skip words and I understood more than before when I didn’t have my Overlays. Thank You Feb 3, 2012, A.P.
I feel good using the computer with the Overlay. I don’t need to look too hard, I can see clearly. My eyes feel good when I’m in the class room and I read a book. If I don’t use the Overlay my eyes feel dry. I think these are not bad, the only thing is I would like to look for glasses with this color and try to see if that works best. Dec 2, 2011, M. V.
I used the Overlays and now I feel more comfortable when I read, and probably my % of comprehension has improved. I notice it is easier staying focused especially with bright lights. Feb 3, 2012, J. C.
I’m N. B. R., this weed I think it went a little well. I feel my poor concentration is going better. When I’m reading I feel more comfortable than before. When I started this class by the second week, my headaches had disappeared. My eyes didn’t get watery and didn’t feel tired or sleepy when I read. Feb 10, 2012, N. B. R.
