We have been helping people improve their vision for over 35 years.

Since 1976, the Cambridge Institute for Better Vision has been offering natural solutions so people can care for, protect and improve their vision - without glasses, contacts, drugs or surgery. Over a quarter of a million people from around the world have contacted the Institute looking for help.

We believe that all healing starts from within and that the process of healing is supported and encouraged by the right combination of nourishment, exercise, relaxation, attitude and inner willingness to change.

We do everything we can to bring you the best natural approaches for helping vision problems of all kinds: Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, Presbyopia, Astigmatism, Eye Imbalances, Binocular Vision Problems, Eye Strain & Discomfort, Poor Night Vision and Computer-Related Eye Problems. You’ll also find natural help for vision problems of a medical nature: Cataracts, Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration.

About our Founder:

The Cambridge Institute for Better Vision was founded by Martin Sussman from a deep desire to find a method to improve vision naturally.  He started by developing a 3 day Vision Seminar training called Eyeclasses.  During the seminar he taught people the techniques they needed to improve their vision.

Throughout the following years Martin conducted more than 500 lectures, seminars and workshops. Martin was the co-developer of The Read Without Glasses Method (with Ray Gottlieb), the co-author of Total Health at the Computer (with Dr. Ernest Loewenstein and Howard Sann) and audio-author of numerous audio programs, including The Advanced BetterVision series.

Called  “an expert” by CNN News and “a real pro” by NBC Today, Mr. Sussman has appeared on radio and TV over 50 times. His appearance on CNN made “broadcast history”: It was the first instance that a segment from “News from the World of Medicine” was re-broadcast. Mr. Sussman, was not an optometrist or an ophthalmologist, he was a natural vision care expert. He went beyond the medical and mechanical models of vision, believing instead that vision is profoundly affected by the mind, body, emotions and spirit.
