Unless you have 20-20 vision, you’re stuck with glasses, contacts, or a blurry world. So why not spend $37 to ditch the bad vision and get to 20-20 in a couple of weeks? Why not believe the slick internet marketing campaigns and buy into a “revolutionary program that you’ll soon discover has dared to challenge the billion-dollar Eyecare industry.” Let me count the ways.
First, you’ve probably received several email solicitations with a subject like “Improve Your Vision” or “Restore My Vision.” These emails contain a link to a websites that promote a program created by Dr. Sen and Samantha Pearson.
I’ve received two of these emails within the past three days, both from different sources. One was sent from “improve-your-vision” at consumerous.com. When I checked to see who owned this site, I discovered it was owned by Christopher Boreham in the Byadbo Wilderness. Personally, I’m a bit surprised that a guy who lives in the mountains of New South Wales wants to help me improve my vision, but maybe he’s just the altruistic type.
The second issue is the website where the Dr. Sen and Samantha Pearson program is sold. As a web designer, I appreciate how slick this website is. Right away, they’ll launch a video touting the benefits of this revolutionary vision-improvement program. Smooth Sam even tells us up front that the video is controversial. Nothing second rate here, everything is smooth and efficient on the surface—until you try to get content. Oh, did I mention that will cost you $37?
And here’s the third strike. Internet marketers have learned that the best way to sell a product is not through high-pressure tactics, but via word of mouth. Imagine talking to a used-car salesman who brings in five or ten people who proceed to tell their own stories about what a caring and concerned guy your salesman is. He’d never sell you a car you didn’t need or couldn’t afford. This is exactly the technique internet marketers use. The only difference is that they don’t call in the referrals, they let you go find them. Search the web and you’ll find plenty of testimonials about this revolutionary program.
Should you invest your money in hopes of reversing vision loss? Right now, you might be thinking, what if it works just a little bit? It’s the same principle the snake-oil salesman used. Appeal to our desire to be healthier, happier, and stronger by doing nothing more than shelling out a few dollars.
The choice is yours, but personally, I’m thinking I’ll keep my cash rather than send it to someone on whom I can’t confirm credentials, who hides their identities using a domain guard service out of Panama, spams me with bogus affiliates, and won’t give me details about their program before I start turning over my money or contact information. How about you? Have you received these emails? Been enticed? I’d love to hear from you.
Hit the button now and fill out the form, before your life flashes before your eyes, …even sex will be better…strike while the iron is hot…just hit the damn button will ya?
I too was tempted by the hype…for about a minute. Then I asked myself: ‘how can this be so damn cheap?’ I mean think about it, $37 is all it takes to be rid of glasses or contacts, as opposed to a couple of thousand dollars for lazer surgery? This made me think of a recent promotion for a home gym system which was skillfully crafted to make it look like it only cost $15, but this was only the charge for a trial period, the actual purchase price being closer to $200 with s & h. So I’m thinking that there has to be hidden costs and that the $37 price advertised is probably just for instructions on how to perform a first set of exercises but to reach 20/20 you’ll have to shell out more money in monthly installments. It might even work like some of those vitamin supplement hucksters who offer “money-back” guaratees, but keep sending you product and debiting your credit card or checking account even after you’ve requested your money back. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If I’m wrong, please someone tell me.
Hi Dan, thanks for the comment. In this case, I don’t believe there are additional charge and the “miracle” cure may help you to exercise your eyes to make the muscles a bit more flexible, but physical limitations can’t be erased in two weeks. There will always be those who will claim miracle cures happen, but I tend to be a bit more pragmatic. That’s why I think something’s not right with the claims made by this program.
Such a ramble of bs in that video. The woman supposedly had laser correction done, and miraculously was cured by the 84yo dude, after such an event. How can that possibly happen after ‘permanent’ cornea redesign? The whole eye would have to readjust all over again. Whenever I see sites that market like that via clickbank, I click off. Where are the real people with the real results? Some 42,000 plus of them she said. Mmm, it smells off to me.
Whoever is behind this perfect vision propaganda has lost his true spiritual vision!
I have a few observations and questions:
1. In a world full of scammers looking to take advantage of their fellow human beings, yes the eye system does smack of odorous intent, but why wouldn’t big corporate eye industry want to pay bloggers such as yourself to put the stink on this system? After all there are literally billions of dollars and thousands of jobs at stake! Who gets believed?
2. I would say that we have all been so brained washed to believe that big companies, big government and big education are to be trusted with our best interests but the media is full of reports of corporate, political and medical malpractice. Look at the Whitehouse now!
3. I reinstate a previous statement: If you have not personally tried the system then who are you to comment on it! Too many experts out there with big, opinionated mouths but no actual experience!
4. My personal experience with glasses and contacts is this:
A. Contacts suck……period what a pain in the ass they are and if not properly maintained can also ruin your vision.
B. Glasses, though an added benefit in some porno venues, are also a pain to deal with and keep possession of. I have had glasses ever since taking work that involves gazing into computers and reading thousands of regulations. I have noticed, since losing my last pair of glasses, that my long distance vision has improved (I have been diagnosed as being near sighted). I find myself, especially at night working my eyes out to focus on far away objects and I have noticed my vision getting better. I am not stupid and I realize with age your body does lose it’s youthful attributes, but real, personal experience has led me to be skeptically receptive to the subject vision system. I noticed while constantly wearing my glasses my vision was getting worse when my glasses were off. I am a Surveyor so I am very observant. My last pair of glasses were around $600 so what does that tell you! Of course big Vision does not want this system to be widely accepted……. Duh!
5. We are all supposedly intelligent adults so make your own decisions…… If you feel you can afford the price to try the system then what can it hurt, if you cannot then you are probably on public assistance and I am paying for your vision now anyway so no need to, just stay on the Govt. Mammary Gland.
I can’t believe how stupid some people are! You make a statement ” I’d you feel you can afford the price…what can it hurt” …so here’s my offer….I can make all your illnesses go away and you will be completely healthy…for $10 …it’s only $10 so what can it hurt ? ….a million people sign up…no one really got hurt…and I’m now a multi millionaire !! ….grow up and remember the old adage ” if it seems too good to be true…it almost always is”
Thanks for the comments, Ozgur and Gladys. Interesting how you both mentioned the money-back guarantee. Whether their program works will depend on a variety of factors, which is why their overblown claims of success bother me. On the other hand, if they do honor their guarantee, there is really no risk. So far, however, we have no proof whether that guarantee will be honored or not.
I need to try it anyways if it works good if it don’t is only 37 n they said money back guaranteed, so I think they r right when they said that our eye is also a muscle like any other that you work out it looks better s o maybe the eye needs its own workk out
I also love the “risk-is-on-us” money back guarantee. I mean really, if they’re so altruistic, disseminate the knowledge for free and take donations. Then the risk is on them no more than it would be anyway–if they’re telling the truth. Which of course they aren’t.
I know that many marketers use these kind of techniques to sell. But there is another truth. What if the program works? There are too many smart people on this planet to make a product of well-established facts and results-driven material.
The only problem is that they are marketers instead doctors. They will collect all that data and create a product, but everything is too marketing and looks “shaky” in the eyes of people like you and me, people who know how IM works.
I personally believe in alternative medicine. I also believe that you need to put a lot of effort to get results with the program. As you need to put a lot of effort to grow your blog. It’s the same.
My final words is that I know a person in my town who restored his vision on such a way.
Everything is possible, but still spammers are the problem.
according to the video, Samantha got her vision corrected for free. Why don’t we get the same consideration…if all they want to do is help? An 84 year old doctor all the sudden wants to get rich with his “secret”? Samantha and “Dr. Sen” never met before, but all the sudden become partners to make money…the very principle that they are fighting from the eye care industry…very interesting. Why can’t you just tell everyone and get to the point if you are so concerned with helping? Can anyone say BS? …and all those people here saying we should buy it and try it before being so negative…how stupid are you really?
Sounds like a great solution, skywaresolrobin! I like how you think. 🙂
yes it confirms that most of these sites are false and i sit through them to see if the give a taster some little bit of information to give. This would give credence to their presentation. The idea behind money backs is that most people forget and never get around to it within the time period. I will practice improving my eyesight by moving a $20 bill around instead of posting the them.
This method has been written about in countless magazines but is also the object of suppression by the eyecare industry, No links given to reliable third-party sources, of course. The Internet is full to bursting point with all kinds of scams, conspiracy theories, racist propaganda, etc. etc. It is not possible to restore 20/20 vision since our eyes like every other part of our bodies are subject to age-related wear and tear, which applies to every living being on this planet, as any pet owner will tell you. Nobody tells the truth today, governments, corporations, individuals all lie to further their own ends. I have had poor eyesight since the age of five and have worn glasses. I don’t find this a problem, I don’t have headaches or migraine and have not found that glasses made my eyesight worse. The whole approach is argument by assertion with no proof offered that can be verified, just a series of boilerplate elements bolted together such as a greedy industry making vast profits from useless products , a conspiracy to hide the TRUTH and a single brave individual who is now prepared to reveal it. Pity this 84-year-old waited so long, he could have done so much more good for so many more if he had decided to come clean earlier!
Why don’t you test the scams you are supposed to be looking out for? So far all you have said is, people lie. Spend 37 dollars and test it otherwise don’t comment.
I am getting ready to have cataract surgery and got this e/mail. I listened and watched the whole thing (normally I tune out after about a minute or two on these things because I know where they are going). I stayed to the bitter end. What a waste of time. These people should be ashamed of themselves. They are coercing gullible people, with a major life altering problem to fork over their hard earned cash for somthing that can’t help them. How truly despicable.
You’re right John, you’ve pretty much covered it. What typically gets the unsuspecting are the “independent” testimonials that you find scattered around the web. It’s easy to think you’re doing research when you’re really just following a trail of breadcrumbs left by the scammer. Unfortunately, all too many people can’t tell the difference between real and snake oil.
Sometimes you can tell by the format. The techniques are strictly boilerplate. First, it’s revolutionary. Two, it comes from someone who’s been in the field for years, but is obscure and often not named. (In this case, he’s 84, so he doesn’t have a whole lot to lose.) Three, it’s been written about and confirmed in countless medical journals, references not provided. Four, the industry is against it because of the huge amounts of money. Five, the solution is simple and works very quickly. Six, there are numerous testimonials, some on the website video, some planted in YouTube, and finally, no details are provided in how it works.
Now if a website incorporates this boilerplate, one need not try it to judge it. Some are dangerous. Years ago I tried one of these things on kidney stones. It involved drinking a humongous amount of soda in a short amount of time. I think it was twelve dollars, but the pain overrode my otherwise skeptical inhibitions. (If kidney stones don’t warrant a prescription of Oxycontin or at least Percocet, I don’t know what does.)
So forgive my doubting, but again, you can use the above boilerplate to sell and you can use it to tell snake oil.
Did you order and test the product? If not then your review is irresponsible. Sometimes good products are libeled by ignorant people who have never tested the product. Maybe the vision program is a scam and maybe not, I don’t know, but, you offer no evidence so this review rates one star.
Indeed, it does. I’m not particularly excited about the idea of spending $37 to find out, either. Not to mention the potential for even more spam if they decide to share addresses.
Listening to it right now and the reason I’m casting about for reviews and commentary on these folks is that they are vague about everything but the successes that have been achieved by those who use their method. I’d like to believe…but that is my problem. This smells like a scam.
