The Washington Post reported that eight-six years after this scam first surfaced, a judge in Nov. 2006 in Iowa put the kibosh on the "See Clearly Method," promoted in national ads claiming it could save consumers from having to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses. The court ordered Vision Improvement Technologies Inc. to stop all sales of "natural vision improvement kits" sold as the "See Clearly Method" as of Nov. 1, and to cease business altogether by Dec. 22. The Fairfield, Iowa, company, which shipped as many as 10,000 kits a month, at a cost to consumers of $350 a piece, was also required to pay $200,000 in restitution.
