How can i improve my eyesight naturally?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Hi

Most people do not feel comfortable wearing glasses. It isn't natural. It would be like holding a magnifying glass up in front of your face while walking around all day and staring through it at everyone.
Its fundamentally antisocial, As i said youd be staring at people and this wont be appreciated. In the longterm it causes many dysfunctions in the functioning of the eye and the rest of the body..
Yes It is possible to improve your eyesight and there are many people who did.


I put some links below that you can read freely:

Popular books on natural vision improvement are:
"Relearning to See" by Tom Quackenbush
"The Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses" by William H Bates
"The Secret of Perfect Vision" by David de Angelis
"Natural Vision Improvement" by Janet Goodrich

The bates method will only help if you have regular trouble with moving your eyes around. The eyeballs should be able to look in all directions easily, with no struggle. Doing a circle with your eyes should come out nice and smooth with a steady pace. If that isnt the case for you it might be worth your time investigating that.

Myopia is not caused by a flaw in the front of the eye, the internal lens or the ciliary muscle.
Its caused by the eyeball as a whole elongating and changing shape. The eyeball CAN change shape. A sphere shape is the optimum shape for good vision. increasing the distance front to back of the eyeball just messes up the focusing distance of the eye. Its like if you shine a torch at walls further and further away the beam of light spreads out more and is less focused.
The book "Secret of Perfect Vision" has lots of research on this topic. The author has been certified as having perfect vision by an independent optometrist.



Sorry this person called pennybar puts alot of stuff in this site and her motives are not helping anyone. Its becoming clear its a promotion for an alternative treatment called ortho-k.

"Your vision may get worse until you reach your early to mid-twenties, at which time it should stabilize."

The average person's vision never stabilizes during their whole life time. From the age of 20 onwards the amplitude of accommodation of someones eyesight descreases by 2 diopters every 5 years. Near vision will also consistantly worsen (due to inflexability of the crystalline lens)

"Maintaining contact lenses is not really difficult if you are mature and responsible enough to follow instructions. They must cleaned daily and soaked overnight using the recommended solutions and only worn for the length of time directed by your eye doctor."

Again the focus of her answer is related to the promotion of her product "ortho-k".
Yes maintaining contact lenses is kinda simple. But natural vision is 100% simple


"Having to wear eye glasses is much better than being blind, so get used to the glasses."

Well is she suggesting any avoidance of glasses would result in her poking you in the eye? To ensure youwill never be able to see again? Well lets thank god none of us know this person or have to go anywhere near her.


"I've been wearing them since I was 7, my three nephews 7, 10 and 35 have worn glasses since they were 2 years old and don't seem to have your problem with wearing them."

They live in their own world. Screwed up as each other


"There is no scientific proof that eye exercises (like the bates method), eye vitamins or eating foods high in beta-carotene (carrots) or lutein will improve visual acuity."

Yes there is no scientific proof that eye exercises help someone with normal eyesight. Thats because they already have eyes that function normally and any"exercising" happens naturally. We know there are muscles in and around our eye. If they were not to function then the results would be as follows. You wouldn't be able to close your eye correctly. Tears would not be allowed to flow into the eyes. And there would be an inablity to move/turn your eyes around properly.
Muscles are also used to adjust the crystalline lens to allow the switch between near and far vision.

Fresh raw veggies are a great way to maintain eye health. Do some research on them you'd be surprised. I don't think it will fix your problem, undoing the damage is in all honestly probable not going to happen, but it could keep it from advancing any further.

carrots!! (:

I tend to be on the side that says it can't be done. If you want to try, it is up to you. It is possible that some of your myopia is pseudo-myopia and will go away with some relaxation techniques. I want to give you some advice on what not to do.
1. Don't spend more time or money on this than you can afford. It sounds kind of hypocritical for me as someone who regularly charges several hundred dollars for glasses or contacts to tell you not to spend $40 for a book. Go ahead and buy it. If you find yourself spending hours doing eye exercises with no improvement, it is probably time to quit.
2. Don't settle for poor vision. Lets face it, you are probably pretty functional without your glasses now. It is just not very much fun going around seeing that way. If all a system does it try to convince you the vision you have without your glasses is OK, it is not doing very much for you.
3. Don't drive without your glasses. It is really none of my business if you are happy going around seeing like you do without your correction. It becomes my business when you share the road with me.
4. Don't feel guilty if it doesn't work. The way some of these systems present things, you could feel pretty guilty if things don't work. Don't.
5. Don't discount the possibility of wearing contacts. In your prescription there are a lot of comfortable options with minimal hassle.

Your vision may get worse until you reach your early to mid-twenties, at which time it should stabilize. Maintaining contact lenses is not really difficult if you are mature and responsible enough to follow instructions. They must cleaned daily and soaked overnight using the recommended solutions and only worn for the length of time directed by your eye doctor. Having to wear eye glasses is much better than being blind, so get used to the glasses. I've been wearing them since I was 7, my three nephews 7, 10 and 35 have worn glasses since they were 2 years old and don't seem to have your problem with wearing them. They are just happy they now have good vision due to corrective lenses. Perhaps by the time you are old enough to have lasik (mid-twenties) they will have improved the procedure enough to deal with your type of astigmatism.

There is no scientific proof that eye exercises (like the bates method), eye vitamins or eating foods high in beta-carotene (carrots) or lutein will improve visual acuity. Numerous studies have been conducted and continue to be conducted on this subject and to date all results are inconclusive. If there were any real proof that any natural remedy could improve vision, believe me eye docs would not be able to suppress the information from the public. Anyone who says different is putting those that need corrective lenses or who have optical disease or problems at risk. Listening to quacks is dangerous to your health. Certain vitamin deficiencies can cause eye problems, but this usually occurs in poor countries where people are malnourished or because an individual's system cannot process the vitamin(s).

In order to maintain eyesight, see an eye specialist for a comprehensive dilated exam every 2-3 years. do not smoke and try to avoid second hand smoke. Wear sunglasses when outdoors. Eating a diet rich in red, yellow and green leafy vegetables may help you maintain your vision and avoid getting certain diseases, like age related macular degeneration and certain cancers.
