Can you improve vision naturally?!


Question:

Can you improve vision naturally?

I'm sick of going to the opticians every few years only to find that my eyes have got worse!

To be honest i'm actually worried that they'll just keep getting worse and I'm only 21 now!!

i've been looking on the net to find all these exercises etc that claim to improve, if not restore your vision.

One in particular is called rebuild your vision!

Has anyone used this and had any success?!


Answers:

this statement: "Wearing glasses from when you wake to when you sleep will make your eyes worse" is completely untrue.

there is no real way to improve your vision "naturally". the "rebuild your vision" website (i just looked at it) looks like it uses vision therapy to reduce myopia. which does work to some limited extent for *some* people...but only if the cause of their nearsightedness is "near point stress" or "accommodative spasm". if you have refractive myopia (cornea too curved) or axial myopia (eye too long) then those types of exercises will have absolutely zero effect.

also, beware of anyone who tries to tell you to use "sunning" or "palming" or any of the other "Bates Method" exercises...that is old, bad science and has been clinically debunked many times:

i am not against vision therapy. it can reduce eyestrain and lessen the frequency/severity of headaches. and in SOME CASES it can minimally improve visual acuity, but again only if the myopia is due to accommodative spasm. almost nothing can make you magically "throw away your glasses forever!", etc.
