I haven't tried the glasses-off product yet, past their demonstration pages, but I did practice this technique for a while based on the recommendations of a friend who similarly discovered it.

The "trick" as I see it is to become comfortable enough with the appearance of blurry text, and be relaxed enough so your eyes aren't constantly trying to focus, and straining the muscles. Once your eyes relax, it's amazing how well a person who's already a proficient reader can get enough information out of blurry text to read at normal speeds. In fact after a while, my brain kicks in and I'd swear that the text is sharp, even though if I pay too much attention it will appear blurry again as I realize my mind is playing tricks on me.
