Eyes would not have seen: Russians complain about the "miracle doctor" healing their eyesight

Law enforcement agencies may be interested in the activities of coach-healer Igor Luzin, Izvestia found out. The cost of his trainings reaches 390 thousand rubles, but judging by customer reviews, not everyone gets the promised result. At the same time, Luzin is not affiliated with medical organizations and officially provides only consulting services. The lack of effect did not stop many clients from purchasing repeat courses. However, those who decide to go to court or the police will have to face serious difficulties: it will not be easy to prove the damage caused, lawyers say.

Why do they turn to the "miracle doctor"

According to Luzin himself, he has been conducting trainings and seminars for 16 years. The coach told Izvestia that his classes help people improve their lives and restore their eyesight. All diseases, according to Luzin, have a psychosomatic nature. He says that he has healed more than 4,000 Russians, 450 million more people watch his videos, and in the future he plans to help restore 200 million more eyesight.

However, not all of his clients are happy with the result. In 2025, Tatiana's eyesight deteriorated sharply — she was diagnosed with cataracts and retinal detachment. On social media, she saw a post by Igor Luzin, in which he promised to "improve my eyesight in four days with face-to-face training and in five with its online version."

— Everyone praises him, such reviews are good. The course was very expensive — 55 thousand rubles. It was sold on the record without feedback. Purely psychology and exercises," the woman told Izvestia. — After a few days, it seemed to me that there had been improvements, so I also left an enthusiastic review.

However, later, according to Tatiana, she realized that there were no changes. Moreover, as it turned out, she was not allowed to do the exercises offered in the course at all. Now she regrets that her review is being used in advertising and thus misleading other people.

According to Tatiana, when buying the course, they gave a one hundred percent guarantee of improved vision. And when the author found out that the training did not help, he asked her who was to blame for this.

— I realized that it was useless to talk to him about this topic. She replied: "I don't know who's to blame. That's it." The money was not returned," the client emphasized, noting that she had purchased the course in installments.

Another participant of the training took the online course three times, but there were no changes.

"The practices are superficial, they don't solve the problem," the woman wrote. —Money is wasted."

Currently, Igor Luzin's online training costs from 75 thousand rubles, and face-to—face training costs 390 thousand rubles.

"After the course, the improvement is at least 1.5 times after the training and will continue to improve if the coach's recommendations are followed," the website says (spelling and punctuation are preserved). It also states that classes are contraindicated for people over the age of 65 who have mental illnesses, mature cataracts, or mechanical eye injuries.

But myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, common cataracts and glaucoma will supposedly be easy to cure. Igor Luzin also undertakes to improve children's eyesight — a child can be "healed" without personal presence, provided that his parents take part in the training.

Visual impairments, according to Igor Luzin, may be related to psychological trauma. He believes that an inner unwillingness to "see" certain events can lead to nearsightedness, farsightedness and other eye diseases. And a child's vision problems are often caused by family problems.

— 85% of marriages in Russia break up within three years. After that, we have a lot of bespectacled kids," the coach added.

To restore vision, you need to find out the truth about yourself, Luzin believes. According to him, after the training, the participants restore not only their eyesight, but also increase their income, as well as find love.

— The technique is universal. I work specifically with psychological settings, with purposes, with values, with unpacking talents," the healer explained.

What is the coach responsible for?

Igor Luzin appears in only two LLC companies — the Path to the Source Consulting Company, where he holds the position of CEO, and Sosnovy Bor, in which he is a co-owner. According to the documents, both organizations are engaged in plant cultivation and commercial consulting. They are not related to medicine, and they do not have licenses for treatment.

The first company remains unprofitable: according to Rusprofile, it has only two employees. Last year, its revenue decreased by 52%, profit by 115%, and cost by 10%. At the same time, Luzin himself continued to conduct trainings, online broadcasts and sell access to a private club.

Among the company's areas of work is "other medical activities." However, the organization does not have a license for such services, and Luzin notes on his website that he does not provide medical care. Although, according to him, he has a medical degree and two psychological degrees.

Lawyer Pyotr Kovalev told Izvestia that medical services include the diagnosis of diseases and treatment with medicines. Gymnastics for the eyes does not apply to such interventions. But the promise of a guaranteed result, according to the lawyer, can be considered a violation of the law on advertising.

Irina Fast, Counsel to the Federal Chamber of Lawyers of the Russian Federation, noted that if a coach introduces himself as a doctor and promises to improve his eyesight, he needs a medical license.

— When a person claims a unique technique, he must prove that it exists and really works. Otherwise, there is a question of misleading people and fraud," Irina Fast explained. At the same time, the availability of medical education in itself does not exempt from responsibility, the lawyer added.

Medical lawyer Irina Gritsenko, on the contrary, believes that it will be difficult to hold a coach accountable only for promising quick results.

— They usually do not declare that they provide medical services, but at the same time they promise a specific result. Believing such words or being skeptical about them is a personal decision for everyone," she said.

According to Hrytsenko, such specialists are often well aware of the legislation and carefully select the wording, which makes it difficult to determine the composition of the violation. In addition, law enforcement agencies are not always willing to take on such cases, she concluded.
