About Me
Hello. My name is Carl Vigilante. I am a Certified Natural Vision Coach.
I am passionate about supporting others who want to improve their eyesight.
Is your vision less than clear? Do you want to improve it? As a Natural Vision Coach, I assist people just like you, in learning to do just that – naturally.
I’ve had my own vision challenges. During nursing school I developed presbyopia, or blurry reading vision. I also experienced eye pain, headaches, fatigue and sunlight sensitivity. Glasses didn’t work for me. They increased my eye pain, worsened my headaches and caused dizziness and nausea.
For 10 years I struggled with difficulty reading, blurry near vision, eye fatigue and pain, headaches and sunlight sensitivity.

Just as I once believed I couldn’t balance on one wheel, I did not believe my vision could get better.
I didn’t even know it was a possibility.

Then, I was introduced to the Bates Method of Natural Vision Improvement through the book Relearning To See: Improve Your Eyesight – Naturally! by Natural Vision teacher Thomas R. Quackenbush.
What I learned contradicted the commonly accepted belief that eyesight cannot improve naturally, but only corrected artificially with glasses, contacts or surgery.
What I discovered was that eyesight can improve. Mine did. As I practiced the Bates Method of Natural Vision Improvement, started letting go of the strain that was causing the blur and began using my eyes in a naturally relaxed way, my vision became clear.
But, as my habits of strain returned, so did the blurriness. I soon realized that Natural Vision Improvement was not simply about performing eye exercises. There was something deeper. My eye strain was well ingrained and connected to the chronic mental, emotional and physical strain I had not yet addressed. My visual clarity fluctuated in relation to my habits of strain. These habits of strain were allusive and would take time for me to become fully aware of. But gradually, as I learned to let them go, clarity returned.
Do you wonder if it’s possible to improve your eyesight naturally?
I wondered the same thing for 10 years. Now, I know it is.
The Bates Method of Natural Vision Improvement helped me improve and maintain my eyesight and to address the adverse side effects of strain on my eyes. It also helped me realize that my inability to handle stress adversely affected not only my eyes, but also my mental, emotional and physical health. This realization motivated me to take charge of and make changes in my life. I began making healthier lifestyle choices, learning strategies for relaxing and handling stress better. I realized a simple truth – relaxation is the key to not only clearer vision and healthier eyes, but to overall health and well-being as well.
