Improve Eyesight Starting Today

Archive for April, 2010

Did you ever get your eyesight to improve? How?

I wear glasses and it would be great if I could take them off for good! Do you know how to improve eyesight?

Much appreaciated.
I’ve been trying to look far off too, I’ve heard it helped!

Eating foods high in beta carotene, and focusing on things far in the distance instead of close up if you can. I used to have horrible eyesight but it’s improved since i did those things

Do I do various eye exercises with glasses on or off?

I have worn glasses for most of my life and recently read some articles about improving vision naturally through eye exercises. I was just wondering, am I supposed to do some of these things with my glasses? Or am I supposed to do them without my glasses?

The exercises I’m talking about are like focusing on something close and the focusing on something far, palming, zooming, etc.

Some are meant to be done with weak correction (weaker glasses), others must be done without glasses, some it doesn’t matter.

Only exercises won’t help you as much as overall health improvement if at all…

The Methods themselves are more about overall health improvement then working only with the eyes.

Most people don’t know it as traditional medicine likes to prove it wrong without even checking the whole method. And the test only short time progress while for most of the patients it takes months-years to improve but the overall benefit is huge, not only for the eyes.

Has the William H. Bates eye sight method worked for you or anyone you know?

I was told about this interesting approach to fixing bad eyesight last night. I might get the book today in addition to my interest on the subject.

Yes!!!!!! It works. Also, wet hair causes colds. And, the sky is pink. And, there is ocean front property in Arizona. HHHMMMMM. The Bates Method is the biggest pile of horse cr@p ever. It’s like back in the 1800’s when snake oil salesmen were traveling across the country telling people if you rub this on your head it will cure baldness. The salesman knew it didn’t work but people wanted so badly for it to work they were willing to give their hard earned money to the guy. By the time they realized it didn’t work, the snake oil salesman was in the next town ripping off the next gullible group of people.

How can I improve my eyesight?

I spend a lot of time on the computer everyday and my eyesight is getting worse. Are there any eye exercises that will help improve eyesight?

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. 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!

has anyone heard of the Ortho C method? Does it work at all…? Bates method?

it is used to help lessen myopia… but i have no clue if it works at all… also any success rate from the Dr. Bates method? thanks!

That’s ortho K , not C

Ortho K is rigid contacts that are custom made to reshape your cornea while you sleep in them, then during the day your vision is clear without them, then you wear them to sleep again.

It doesn’t reverse the myopia and the effect is only temporary. If you stop wearing them , your eyes return to needing the full correction you needed before. It usually runs between $1200.00 and $1800.00 for them. There are possible side effects with them and not all Dr’s agree with their use.

As for Bates…that’s all just hogwash. It hasn’t worked in over 90 years since it came out and isn’t about to start working now. But smart booksellers keep the dream alive and the bucks keep rolling in even tho there are no actual results that can be proven anywhere.

Do the night time contacts improve your vision over time?

I was wondering if the Orthokeratology contacts you wear overnight to sleep and take off in the morning and have perfect vision will improve your vision over time. I have friends that are currently using them for a few months and she noticed improvements in her vision. Is it true?

The effect is not permanent. Your eyes will regress once you stop wearing them.

How can I improve my vision? Will my eyes stay blurry forever?

Well I’m 14 and I tend to use the computer a lot over the weekends.
My eyes are blurry and I can’t see anything far distance.
Will my eyes stay blurry forever? I wear glasses sporadically to view distant things.

But is there any foods, etc I could eat/do to help improve my vision?

Food does not improve your vision.

Do you believe the Bates Method actually works to improve vision?

It would be great if you guys would explain why you don’t think it works because I tried this a few years ago and had a clear flash for a couple seconds. But then I lost the book and stopped doing those exercises. I’m going to start up again.

Yes. There must be some way to improve your eye vision without surgery
