A PROFESSIONAL PILOT RETURNS HIS VISION TO 20/20

     Brian Severson was in an engineering college when he began to
get into nearsightedness.  In previous years Brian observed his
brother become seriously nearsighted when he used a negative lens.
He had received no information on prevention from the eye doctors
he consulted.  By his own understanding and perseverance, and some
conversations with me, he returned his vision to normal as he
describes in the following two letters.


		  LETTER #1 FROM BRIAN SEVERSON

     Hi!  I went out and bought a pair of +1.75 diopter reading
glasses, and two days later my vision improved from 20/70 - 20/80
to 20/50 at an exam today.  The Doctor wanted to sell me $500.00
worth of (Band-aid) lenses.  What a ripoff!

     Please rush me your book.	I enjoyed talking to your wife.  I
will keep you posted on my improvements.  Someday when I get a
real job that pays more than $10,000/year I will call and chat
with you.

     I have a 1st class physical soon and need to improve my
vision before then, or send $156 to my eye doctor for one
replacement contact!


     Thanks,

     Brian Severson


		  LETTER #2 FROM BRIAN SEVERSON


     I'm sorry I have not taken the time to write or call you
until now.  On December 4, 1990, I passed a FAA 1st Class Physical
and, under much less than ideal conditions, read better
than 20/20 -- 20/15 in fact on the eye chart!

     Thank you for all you have done to help me.  I have at least
15 pilots and friends now wearing reading glasses.  I am
one-quarter through the rough draft on my vision book, and I am
slowly making progress on the book.


     Thanks & God bless,


     Brian Severson
