How Could I Improve My Eyesight

Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION:
How to improve eyesight naturally through eye exercises?
I am naturally short-sighted and I have pretty bad eyesight. Not severe, but worse than average. I have glasses but I hate wearing them. I don’t want laser eye surgery. I would like website links to help improve eyesight naturally. And some books as well. I heard about a book written by someone from Stanford University who had written a book about improving eyesight through eye exercises. Information on that would be great.

Thanks for your help!
- ANSWER:
  ‘I heard’….as always leads to nonsense. If this worked would anyone wear glasses?
  
  there is NO NATURAL CURE. End of. Use you brain.
QUESTION:
Can carrots improve eyesight or just prevent blindness?
If carrots can improve eyesight, can they restore my eyesight if i wear glasses?
- ANSWER:
  The reason you can’t see clearly without glasses is because your eyeball is either too short or too long (lengthwise, from front to back). If it’s too short, you’ll be farsighted. If it’s too long, you’ll be nearsighted. (We’re talking about minor changes in length here.) If the front surface of the eye is not perfectly spherical, you’ll have astigmatism. Now, that’s a 15 second course in Optometry, and why you need glasses. Vitamin A has absolutely no effect on the length of the eye, and can not change your prescription. Anyone who says otherwise is giving you erroneous information. Vitamin A CAN help improve night vision slightly, particularly if the poor night vision is being caused by a vitamin A shortage. If you eat yellow vegetables such as carrots, squash or pumpkin, you’ll get sufficient vitamin A to meet your needs. Be VERY careful not to start gulping down Vitamin A capsules; it is the ONE vitamin that can actually damage you if you take too much. It should never be taken as straight Vitamin A; it should ONLY be consumed as Beta Carotene, which is the substance that gives carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, etc., it’s yellow color. Don’t take more than what’s recommended on the bottle. Unlike so many vitamins that simply get washed away in your urine, Vitamin A does not. And you can build up excessive levels that can hurt you. But you’ll still need glasses. Nothing (except Lasik surgery) can fix that.
  
  By the way, Mitul, the Vitamin A didn’t cause improvement in your eyesight. Your eyeball simply stretched out a little longer as it grew. Are you a young person who is still growing? (Eyeballs can grow, but they can’t shrink, which is why you can improve farsightedness as you grow, but not nearsightedness.)
QUESTION:
Does anyone know a real way to improve eyesight?
I hear and see a lot of advertisment for improving eyesight but has anyone really done a eye exercise or just simply things to do daily to improve eyesight?Is there any foods that are known to improve eyesight?Has anyone really benefited from doing them?
- ANSWER:
  It is all VOODOO! Save your money and use glasses or contacts. Lasik has a place too, but go to someone who uses it judiciously rather than running “a mill.” Cheaper is not better when it comes to surgery IMHO.
QUESTION:
Are there any ways to improve eyesight?
Are there any ways (natural, surgical, etc.) to help improve eyesight and hopefully get rid of glasses forever? Please help, it’s not like i don’t like glasses, it’s just that they’re a pain to carry around.
- ANSWER:
  Take more fish, drink chrysanthemum herbal tea and acupuncture eye message will help but will take time.
  The quickest and most effective is lasik surgery, but it is costly and carry some risk.
QUESTION:
What are some natural ways to improve eyesight?
Please don’t say glasses lol
I’m wondering if there are any foods (for example) that will improve eyesight
- ANSWER:
  As much as I wish I could say otherwise, glasses, contacts, or surgery are the only way to improve your eyesight.
  I’ve been looking for other options for almost 20 years since I first had to get glasses and I have found things that improve the health of your eyes (which can help them from getting worse), but they can’t make the actual visual acuity better. Most of them are natural herbs (like Lutein, Bilberry, and Eyebright) and vitamins (A and E among others) that help maintain the health of the eye, but unfortunately couldn’t improve vision.
  The main reason is because vision problems are a physical problem (the physical distance between the retina and lens), not a chemical problem that can be changed with drugs, herbs, or supplements
  
  I’ve heard of eye exercises that some people try, but based on a lot of research I’ve done on them, there is no basis to say that it will improve your eyesight at all long-term, but it can show some impact short-term. All that’s left after all that is surgery or glasses/contacts. Sorry.
  Also, there is an article at http://abcnews.go.com/Health/EyeHealthNews/11-eye-myths-debunked/Story?id=8919023 that points out some of the common myths about eyes. Some of these are included in there, but it also verifies that reading in the dark or watching a TV/computer screen too close doesn’t negatively affect the vision long-term. Good luck and I hope I helped!
QUESTION:
How to naturally improve eyesight?
Yes this is a commonly asked question, but I’m just seeing the answers for today rather than look at past/old answers. People say to eat carrots, green vegetables, etc, but it doesn’t seem to help much/at all. Is it actually possible to improve eyesight naturally or through exercises?
- ANSWER:
  
  http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-improve-eyesight_1/
  
  The website has 6 easy instructions to natrually improve eyesight. The steps are difficult to explain, but the website providese pictures to show what to do.
QUESTION:
How would i improve my eyesight naturally?
What about carrots? Is it proven that they can improve eyesight?
- ANSWER:
  You wouldn’t. Poor eyesight is *itself* natural.
  
  Carrots are worthless when it comes to improving eyesight. Your options are glasses, contacts and laser surgery.
QUESTION:
What kinds of eye exercises can improve your eyesight?
I am a sophomore in high school and my vision is about -3.75 on both sides right now. I am afraid that my visions would grow worse and worse. When I wear my contacts or even when wearing glasses, my eyes feel dry and irritated. How can I stop this irritation? Also, what are the exercises that will improve eyesight and what other things are good for getting better eyesight? Thank you. =)
- ANSWER:
  Try the Bates method. It teaches you the correct vision habits used by people with perfect sight. To be used 24/7/365. It works much better than eye strengthening exercises that require something like 25 minutes a day and then you go back to your old bad eye habits.
  
  Many people who do eye strengthening exercises find that they have limited success, and later on say they should’ve gone with the Bates method instead. The Bates method is based on the findings of a doctor who also discovered adrenaline… this man was so smart that he was as high in the optometry world as one can get, during his time.
  
  Here is the Bates method in a nutshell: http://www.i-see.org/bates_nutshell.html
  
  Dr. Bates tested thousands of schoolchildren and found that he was able to improve their eyesight back to 20/20 or better.
  
  He understood eyesight better than any eye doctor that has ever existed, believe it or not. He knew how to help people not strain when looking in the distance or up close, and understood the role the mind plays in vision.
  
  You can find out more about the method at http://www.iblindness.org/
  
  Or get this brilliant book covering a wide range of things about vision improvement, including the unknown history of the optometry schools: http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/1556433417/ref=s9_asin_image_1-hf_favarpcbss_2238_g1/104-4012359-0946345?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=1WC6CEVP6GZHBN3XSNZH&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=279667201&pf_rd_i=507846

QUESTION:
How to improve your eyesight without surgery?
I read many such ways to improve eyesight in the newspaper or on the net. However, i do not know if these are true. what do you think?
1. Wear reshaping lens
2. Do eye exercises
3. Don’t wear glasses
4. Look into the sun every day for 20 min, UV rays will stop your cornea from thickening.
im not kidding about #4, its from a newspaper in singapore, Today news, giving reports from australia. they compare myopia rates among singapore kids and australia kids, find that aussies have less kids wearing glasses, conclude that cause australia kids go outdoors every day and see the sun (not directly! but just stand in sunlight) and thus have better eyesight.
- ANSWER:
  All of those methods have strength and weaknesses.
  These are what I think may work.
  
  Wear reshaping lenses when you sleep.
  Spend more time playing outdoors.
  Take off your glasses sometimes and let your eyes “relax”.
  Wear sunglasses to reduce risk of cataract from UV light.

QUESTION:
Is it actually possible to improve eyesight without the laser?
I’ve read so much about the possibility of being able to improve eyesight without laser surgery.
Hopefully none of this, ‘apparently’ or rumors :L

Thanks
Mostly aiming towards eye exercises to be honest.
- ANSWER:
  It really depends on your vision problem. Most vision issues result from the anatomy of the eye not necessarily weak “eye muscles”.
  1. Cornea shape: can be too steep which is considered near sighted or fuzziness at a distance. Can be too flat which blurs up close. Can be too flat and too steep (90 apart) which is astigmatism. LASIK can usually correct these issues by reshaping the cornea.
  2. Crystalline Lens: This lens sits directly behind the iris and is like our “focusing” lens used to focus on objects at varying distances. This is also the lens that becomes a cataract later on in life. This lens starts to have trouble doing it’s job normally around the ages of 38 to 42 which is when the bifocals or reading glasses come in handy. LASIK doesn’t correct this and why you will still eventually need reading glasses even if you have LASIK earlier in life.
  
  LASIK generally reshapes cornea to correct near sightedness, far sightedness, and generally mild astigmatism.
  
  Cataract surgery removes cloudy/opaque crystalline lens and replaces it with a lens similar to a contact lens commonly known as a Intra Ocular Lens.
  
  RESTORE is a new procedure that replaces that cataract lens with a new lens that supposedly focuses itself just like the crystalline lens once did in the younger body. Negating the need for any type of glasses. I’ve heard mixed reviews on this procedure.
  
  Having weak muscles can attribute to phorias or “Lazy Eye”. Esophoria/Exophoria is inward/outward turning of one or both eye(s). Although this isn’t the only cause of this condition. There can be other muscle issues to attribute to these. I have never on my time on the field see someone acquire any type phoria without some type of trauma, especially brain trauma. Other than that, you are usually born with the condition which is why some infants/kids are forced to wear a patch.

Thanks
I have also been using optrex dry eye drops do you reccomend this or should i stop.
- ANSWER:
  As much as I wish I could say otherwise, glasses, contacts, or surgery are the only way to improve your eyesight.
  I’ve been looking for other options for over 20 years since I first had to get glasses and I have found things that improve the health of your eyes (which can help them from getting worse), but they can’t make the actual visual acuity better. Most of them are natural herbs (like Lutein, Bilberry, and Eyebright) and vitamins (A and E among others) that help maintain the health of the eye, but unfortunately couldn’t improve vision. Carrots would fall into a couple of those categories, but still don’t make your eyes better or stop the need for glasses.
  The main reason is because vision problems are a physical problem (the physical distance between the retina and lens), not a chemical problem that can be changed with drugs, herbs, or supplements
  
  I’ve heard of eye exercises that some people try, but based on a lot of research I’ve done on them, there is no basis to say that it will improve your eyesight at all long-term. All that’s left after all that is surgery or glasses/contacts. Sorry.

Good luck and I hope I helped!
  
  [edit]: I have no idea why Auroch is saying it might be Sleep Apnea as that’s a breathing problem while you’re sleeping, not a vision/eye problem. :-s
  
  [edit 2]: As far as the eyedrops, you can take those if you have dry eyes, but don’t expect them to improve your vision as they will pretty much only lubricate the eyes.

QUESTION:
What are some exercises to help improve eyesight?
I have trouble seeing stuff that is far away.I would like to know some exercises that can improve my eyesight.Or anything else that can improve my vision.Thanks.
- ANSWER:
  There are numerous eye exercises that you may try and see if your vision improves. One method developed by a medical doctor is called the Bates method and has been used by various people who have claimed success. Best to try that and see what happens. The link provided has the technique and charts and pictures that you can download. As an alternative, an ophthalmologist can assess your vision and determine a corrective lens prescription that you can use either for contact lenses or eyeglasses. That will definitely work since it corrects a deficiency in the ability to see properly. However if you are looking for simple exercises then check out the Bates method.

QUESTION:
Is there a way to improve eyesight naturally? And is Lasik eye surgery available for people with astigamatism?
I’m 20 years old and my eyesight is really bad (probably from all the years of video games, tv, and surfing the internet). I’ve decided to limit my time spent on these activities, but what I want to know is if there’s a way to improve your eyesight without the use of glasses or contacts?

Also, I’ve heard from someone that people with astigmatism can’t get that eye restoration surgery. Is that true? Not that I can afford it right now anyway, I just want to know my options later on.
- ANSWER:
  There is no natural way to Improve eye sight. Dont fall for the advertising gimmicks.
  Lasik works well for people with astigmatism.
  
  Lasik is relatively a very safe procedure which has been performed for nearly a decade. The technology has advanced so much that its now possible to predict the outcome even before laser is done. The pre op Diagnostic Procedures are called as orbscan and abberometry.
  
  Lasik procedure takes just 10 mins for both the eyes and you can resume normal activities within 24 hrs.
  
  The only disadvantage is the cost of the procedure , but this can be over come when u have the procedure done in countries like India which have very good laser centers and Ophthalmologists.
  
  Eye care tourism is becoming very popular and u can save a lot of money.
  
  I am an Ophthalmologist specialising in eye care tourism in Chennai India.

QUESTION:
Is there anyway to naturally improve eyesight?
Lately I’ve noticed how I can’t see as good as I used to. I can’t even draw a picture on my computer screen without straining my eyes to see it.
I won’t be able to afford an eye appointment for a while, but I really don’t want to have to wear glasses or contacts.
Is there anyway I can improve my eyesight naturally or at least keep it from getting worse until I can get an appointment?
- ANSWER:
  The carrots thing is actually a huge myth, see http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/carrots.asp for the full story, but it originated from some WW2 propaganda.
  
  Vitamin A is important for your eyesight, thousands of impoverished children go blind every year from lack of vitamin A. Though overdosing on it can be pretty bad for you too, you wouldn’t be able to eat the amount of carrots required to get the benefit without making yourself very ill and very orange from the carotene in the carrots.
  
  Liver is the best thing to eat for your eyes. Though Cod Live Oil supplements can also help, there are plenty of foods which have a good vitamin A content, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_a#Sources
  
  If you can get hold of bilberries, they have also been said to help improve eyesight, they are a smaller, sweeter version of blueberries, though most supermarkets probably wouldn’t carry them, but they grow wild in many places.
  
  I’m not sure from your question where you live, but if you live in America, you may want to check out these sites, http://www.eyecareamerica.org/ and http://www.optometryscharity.org/vision-usa/ they can give you advice on where you might qualify for a free eye test. If you live in the UK then eye tests are completely free if you are under 18 or are on benefits, and if not, most family practise opticians (opposed to chains like specsavers) only charge about 20- 30 for a test and some wave the fee alltogether if it turns out you need glasses.
QUESTION:
What are some eye exercises I could do to improve eyesight?
I am short-sighted and just starting to become long-sighted as well. I was wondering, are there any simple eye exercises I could do to improve my eyesight?

thanks!
- ANSWER:
  Eyesight is a very confounded field. Most eyedoctors will tell you that “eye exercises” don’t work. They are partially correct but deceptive. Eye exercises(eye pushups, eye drills) in general don’t work because they are based on the premise that eyes are weak and need to be excercised. This is very incorrect because people with blurry vision exert many times more effort than people with natural perfect eyesight. They are using their eyes incorrectly. Also, eye professionals have a reputation and an income to protect.
  
  Ed is a little too easy going for me. Of all the information out there about improving eyesight naturally, only 5% is correct and effective, the rest is a scam by people who don’t have a clue what they are talking about, except in the area of marketing.
  
  For most people to effectively improve their eyesight naturally, they must avoid most things that talk about “eye exercises”. Most processes that talk about eye exercizes on the internet are scams or tend to lead people in the wrong direction. Another important factor in relearning to see is having the support of a local teacher or a teacher over the internet.
  
  Returning to natural perfect eyesight requires that we unlearn the blurry vision habits of staring, diffusion, and straining. It concurrently requires that we reintegrate the clear vision behaviors of movements through and connections to with dynamic relaxation and continuity.
QUESTION:
How do you improve your eyesight without LASIK in singapore?
How do you improve your eyesight from 280degrees to a degree where you don’t need to wear spectacles without LASIK and in Singapore?

- ANSWER:
  Pencil Exercise
  
  Hold a pencil arms length in front of you. Really focus on the tip of that pencil. Once you have it focussed, very slowly move it towards you whilst still maintaining the focus. See how close you can get it before losing this focus.
  
  Swinging
  
  Focus on a distant object, swaying gently from side to side. Do this for a few minutes every day, blinking as you sway. The blinking helps clean and lubricates the eyes, which is especially important if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer.
  
  Clothesline
  
  Japanese studies show that this exercise can significantly improve your eyesight if done regularly. Place a picture on a clothesline. Stand about a foot away from it and focus on the picture whilst it is (probably rapidly) moving. Move back a foot and repeat. Continue with this until you are about 10 feet away.
  
  Candle Exercise
  
  Eye sight is not just about your eyes. It is also about the eye brain relationship. Your brain must interpret what the eyes pick up. This exercise aims to improve the brain/eye connection.
  
  Put your self in a quiet, dark place and look at a lighted candle. Focus your attention at the blue part of the flame and blink gently. After a minute or two try to imagine the lighted flame with your eyes closed.
  
  If the visualization is not perfect, again look at the blue part of the flame and try to imagine the same without making any effort. When you are able to visualize the flame in your imagination open your eyes.
  
  Colour Day
  
  Choose a colour and look out for it throughout the day wherever you go. When you see the particular colour, be aware of it. Don t bother concentrating on the shape of the object, just experience the colour and it s subtle shadings. This again should help the eye/brain connection. Sunning
  
  Try to do this daily. It may be difficult if you live somewhere like the UK! Close your eyes. Look directly at the sun through your closed eyes. While facing the sun, slowly rotate your head from side to side as far as you can. This gets the sunlight on the peripheral vision, and it helps bring more blood circulation to your neck. Do this for a few minutes. Enjoy the warming soothing feeling of the sun on your eyes.
  
  Eye Massage
  
  This exercise helps improve the blood circulation to the eye muscles.
QUESTION:
Can you improve your eyesight naturally?
I hate wearing glasses, are there any REAL stretches or exercises that work? Also, do glases help improve eyesight, or stimulate eyesight?
- ANSWER:
  Unfortunately, there are none that have been proven effective. Glasses compensate and correct for visual impairments; thus, they treat the symptoms of vision issues, not the cause.
QUESTION:
How to cure eyesight naturally without using laser or anything?
Okay everyone here’s my problem with my eyesight and hopefully someone who had this experience once just please help me.

I have been wearing glasses ever since the age of 7 or 8. Right now my power is about 550 or 5.5 or what ever it is.

I have tried eye exercise and eating a whole carrot everyday and my eyesight is still blurry.

Even these won’t work for me:

1. First start with palming.
Here is how to do :
– Sit comfortably then put your elbows on a table.
– Rub your palms to make them warm. Cover your eyes with your palms and
make sure that no light come through your fingers
– Breath deeply and remain relaxed during this exercise.

2. Do swinging to help your eye muscles to gain the flexibility.

Swinging exercise is known to help minimizing the rigidity of eye muscles. Below is how to improve eyesight through swinging.

Stand still with your feet slightly apart. Look straight to the front, and do not move your head nor your eyes. From the waist, gently swing your body to the left by lifting your right heal to perform easier movement. Your main attention is to let your eyes go to feel that everything move from the opposite direction of your swing. Go back to the first position then gently swing to the right side with the same method. Be sure to keep breathing and relax your entire body and repeat the swing approximately 20 times.

3. Sunning to energize your eyes.
Sunning will develop the eye s ability to see in bright light as well as in darker light condition. You can feel the therapeutic warmth of the sun light that is beneficial to the health of the eyes and the ability to relax them. Before doing sunning, you should be aware the following :
– Avoid facing directly to the sun. Looking directly to the sun will harm your eyes !
– Leave your eye glasses and contact lenses while doing this exercise
– Do the exercises only in early morning or evening.

Here is how to improve your eyes with sunning :
– Stand in a shade then close your eyes
– Let sun light touch your eyelids and forehead
– Slowly turn your head from side to side
– Do the exercise for a short time only
Again, do not stare directly to the sun !

Complete the exercises with palming.

4. Blinking. People who do a lot of working on computer, reading or any other close work without sufficient breaks may develop refractory problems. To avoid this do blinking often especially if your eyes feel dry. Blink your eyes rapidly six times then rest for a few minutes. Repeat this exercise four times. In this way your eyes will get moist and also can bring strength to the eye s muscles.

For best result eye exercises must be combined with eating healthy food. Choose daily menu with sufficient nutrient for the benefit of the eye s health. Consume lots of fish oil, vitamins such as vitamin A and C. Add vitamin E to reduce the risk of developing cataracts and age relating macular degeneration.

It’s been about 3 months now I have using the procedure above and I see no changes. Please I do not want to use any surgery or laser to cure my eyesight. The title says it all ‘naturally’.
- ANSWER:
  You see no changes because it doesn’t work. There is no way to “cure” your eyesight without surgery or glasses/contacts. Stop being silly and think about it – if there was a way, do you really think that all the people in the world would still be wearing their glasses? The “Bates Method” (what you seem to be using) is absolute crap and all doctors know it.
QUESTION:
What are good food items to sharpen my eyesight?
Which are the most essential vitamins and minerals to improve eyesight. I have a negative power of three on both of my eyes.
- ANSWER:
  Spectacle power is not dependent upon food. Good foods (with vitamins & antioxidants) helps in maintaining health of eyes and good vision with spectacles (if necessary), but it doesn’t reduce glass power.
  
  Vitamin A is necessary for maintenance of photochemical pathway for vision- it’s deficiency causes night vision disturbance.
  Antioxidants keeps our Retina healthy- prevents age related retinal degeneration.
  
  We should take foods rich in Vitamin A, Antioxidants (Green leafy vegetables & colored fruits & salads) e.g.-
  Spinach, papaya, carrots, tomato, broccoli, raw cabbage, cauliflower, almonds.
  
  For correction of glass power some yoga techniques may help.

QUESTION:
Is there any other way to improve eyesight without eating omega 3 fish oil?
Im trying to improve my eyesight without eating the disgusting fish oil. I want my glasses to be gone (or at least make them a smaller prescription) by the end of the summer.
Without getting laser or eye surgery

QUESTION:
Is there any way to stop eyesight from getting progressively worse?
It seems that every year, my eyesight gets progressively worse. Are there any proven methods to stop this or even improve eyesight?
- ANSWER:
  You need to wear contact lenses rather than glasses. If your eyes have to strain across the gap between them and your glasses, it weakens hem. Contact lenses sit on the eye itself, eliminating the problem. It may not stop the deterioration of eyesight completely, but the rate of progression will be significantly slowed.
  My optician recommended that I use contact lenses for that reason, as I was having the same problem as you, and it has made a difference.
  If it stops for a decent length of time (I think two years is the required amount) you can have laser surgery and eliminate the problem altogether!
QUESTION:
What are some ways to improve your vision?
I am 13 years old and I have 9 for a prescription, which is very very bad! I heard a lot of stories about focusing on green things and eating carrots will improve my vision but I am not sure about it. If you have any idea how to improve eyesight, please tell me!
- ANSWER:
  there is no way to improve your vision NATURALLY. but you can correct your vision through surgery but there are pros and CONS to laser eye surgery surgery. carrots don’t help at all. they can keep your eyes from getting worse but vitamin a only helps your night vison not your overall sight. you can also think about ortho-keratology, they are contact which you can put on at night or in the day and you can see clearly for the other half of the day. it dosn’t “fix” your eyesight because if you dont wear them for 2 or 3 nights, your eyesight goes back to normal. you have to wear these contacts for the rest of your life and they cost about 00 PER contact. so it’s really expensive. ortho-k contacts flatten your oval shaped cornea so you can see clearly.
QUESTION:
Is there anyway to improve eyesight over time?
I have EXTREMELY poor vision, and I am all right wearing my glasses, but is there anyway to gradually improve my eyesight over time so that maybe after a few months years etc, they will be be better or perfect?
- ANSWER:
  Many natural remedies for eye health have been formulated with specific ingredients to promote eye health and visual efficiency, thus preventing common eye problems.
  
  One such herb is Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) which is known for its ability to maintain the strength of the tiny blood vessels of the eye and help facilitate delivery of essential oxygen and nutrients to the eye.
QUESTION:
How do you improve your eyesight naturally?
Is it possible to improve your eyesight naturally? If it is, how? I hate wearing glasses & i can’t wear contact lens either because ive been having some eye problems. Any suggestions? :/
- ANSWER:
  Well its obvious that there is no medical way to improve eyesight naturally.
  
  Artificial corrections(glasses, contacts, surgery) are poor alternatives to our natural perfect eyesight.
  
  We get blurry vision as an incorrect response to stress. Incorrect vision habits like: holding our eyes still, trying to see everything perfectly distincly all at the same time, squeezing our eyelids on our eyeballs to try to get more clarity, turning our eyes off to rest without closing our eyelids. These all squeeze our eyeballs out of shape and give us blurry vision.
  
  Most can return to natural perfect eyesight by unlearning the incorrect vision habits, allowing the correct vision behaviors, and undoing the damage of artificial corrections and blurr.
  
  The best way to start learning about natural perfect eyesight is to read the best books. I’ve got a refferal link to one of them on my website. The best way to return to natural perfect eyesight is with the help of a teacher. I help people find a good ones near them if they are available. It is important to work with a teacher that teaches face to face.
  
  99 percent of “natural eyesight” programs out there are pushing eye exercises or eye potions and have never taught or worked with people face to face. The ideas of eye exercises(eye pushups, eye aerobics, eye yoga) and eye potions along with artificial corrections, have done massive harm to our natural perfect eyesight.
QUESTION:
Which is the best way to improve your eyesight naturally ?
I’ve been wearing eye glasses for years. I’ve heard some people can really improve their eyesight naturally. Anyone can tell me how to do it ? Please help.
- ANSWER:
  You don’t have to carry blurry vision for the rest of your life. You’ll be glad to know that methods to improve your eyesight naturally can be easy.
  
  To have a perfect eyesight, you need to know how to take care of your eyes, incorporate good habits into your daily life, perform eye exercises, change life-style that could be harmful to your health, take plenty of rest and relax your eyes often.
QUESTION:
Are there ways that I can improve my eyesight discluding lasik?
I’m farsighted and I wear glasses because my parents won’t let me get contacts. I hate to wear my glasses and would rather improve my eyesight than wear either at all. Is there a way to do it besides surgery? Thanks
LMAO pinkdots is such a retard
Excuse me, I’m sorry I meant nearsighted not farsighted…I always get the two mixed up
- ANSWER:
  There is. I suggest you purchase this book: http://www.amazon.com/Relearning-See-Improve-Eyesight-Naturally/dp/1556433417/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-4012359-0946345?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1175140699&sr=8-1
  
  I began my vision improvement with this book. Went from 20/100 to 20/10 or better (can see strands of people’s hair from 1/4 mile away).
  
  I recommend checking out the Bates method. There is a very rich history to it, and it teaches you how to use the same eye habits used by people who have perfect eyesight. It is based on over 1,000 pages of information by a real historical man named Dr. William Bates, also discoverer of adrenaline.
  
  Unfortunately, he was a heretic… he was as high in the optometry world as a optometrist gets, and followed orthodox teaching for 15 years, taught other optometrists, but found something wrong. He tried proving it to the board of optometrists at the best optometry school in the country, showing that he could reverse all kinds of vision problems, but due to driving political and economical forces, he was expelled from his teaching position and publicly ostracized. This took place about 85 years ago. The theory from 1855 he proved wrong is still taught nowadays to our optometrists.
  
  The fancy commercialized packages on vision improvement out there that mention doing eye strengthening exercises are incorrect. They do not follow what Dr. Bates taught… and he studied subjects (humans and animals) under every imaginable condition… he studied microscopic and telescopic vision (including a girl who could see Jupiter’s moons with the unaided eye) and made some extraordinary discoveries.
  
  I know he’s correct because it worked for me.
  
  If you have any questions, you should come over to http://www.iblindness.org/forum/ and ask questions.

QUESTION:
Is it possible to improve my eyesight without glasses?
I’m short-sighted (meaning I can’t see far away), I want to improve my eyesight without wearing glasses or obtaining laser surgery. Is it possible? Please answer, thanks.
- ANSWER:
  Blurry vision comes from using our eyes incorrectly. Eye exercises(eye pushups, eye aerobics, eye yoga) do not change the way we use our eyes, mind, and body togther. People feel different when they do them and after a week they get used to the different feeling but clarity does not change. Artificial corrections(glasses, contacts, surgery) also do not change the way we use our eyes so our eyes continue to get worse year after year.
  
  Not wearing glasses is not useful unless you know how to use your eyes, mind, and body together correctly while not wearing them. If people don’t know the incorrect vision habits to avoid and the correct vision habits to relearn and how do this with dynamic relaxation, they’re just seeing blurry, which isn’t fun. It can also lead to squinting and strain trying to see clearly.
  
  Computers and TV can encourage us to use our eyes incorrectly but they do not harm our eyes. We harm our eyes when we stare and diffuse and squint while we are using them. People who have perfect vision or know how to use their eyes correctly can use the computer or tv all they like with out any harm to their visual system.
  
  People who want to improve their eyesight naturally can start out by getting the best books. I have a link to the best book on Amazon on my website. Finding a good teacher near you can speed things up significantly. I also have a link to several Natural Eyesight Teachers around the world on my website. Successful Natural Eyesight Improvement Teachers don’t teach eye exercises because they don’t improve eyesight.
QUESTION:
Can eye exercises actually improve your vision?
If so, by how much? And if not, what does it actually do? Is there any way to improve eyesight without Lasik eye surgery?
- ANSWER:
  Short answer, no.
  
  Long answer, also no.
  
  Those who perpetrate this myth are frauds. You cannot manipulate the visual system into better sight. It just doesn’t work that way. If it did, manufacturers and retailers of optical corrections would have been out of business decades ago.
QUESTION:
How do you quickly, naturally improve eye sight?

QUESTION:
How do I improve my eyesight without staying away from my computer?
I am short-sighted and have a high power of over -2. Please tell me some ways by which I can improve my eyesight. I’m addicted to my computer because of which i got glasses.
- ANSWER:
  The computer did not cause you to become nearsighted. I do suggest that you take breaks and change your focus about every 20-30 minutes when using the computer to help with eyestrain.
  
  You may also want to attempt to increase your visual range by determining what your range of clear vision is, then place an object just outside of it. Stare at the object an attempt to bring it into focus and as your range increases then keep moving further from the object.
