Question:

I suffer from poor vision and lazy eye, any suggestions for eye health?

I am 47 and have had a lazy eye since youth. I also suffer with poor vision and was interested in perhaps nutritional support or herbal nutrition, or other natural help for vision.


Answers:

I have friend age 65 who has been doing vision therapy with a specially trained optometrist for the last few months and having great results. These are specially trained optometrists who screen for obvious medical problems and then do a regimen of exercises and techniques designed to strengthen the eye and improve function.

Ophthalmologists do not generally offer this therapy and stick to medications and surgery to treat the eye. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but that depending upon what's going on with your eyes holistically, that would guide you in choosing a path.

Get your eyes screened first from an optometrist. If there is a medical/surgical issue, they'll refer you to an ophthalmologist. Get a referral from someone you trust.
