Improve Eyesight Today Blog

I can’t see clear without wearing my eye glasses or contact lenses. Anyone can tell me how can I improve my eyesight without having eye surgery or keep changing glasses every year ? Thanks.

Here I found some tips to help improving your eyesight.

Step 1
Give a soothing massage to your face as well as the area around your eyes. Rub your temples and forehead gently, you can use aromatic oil to add the relaxation. Feel the tension go away from your mind and body.

Step 2
After relaxing your eyes, start with exercises to strengthen the eyes muscles. For example, lower and raise your eyebrows or rolling your eyes slowly. The shut your eyes and cover them with your palms. While training your eye muscles, it is important to give them a relaxing condition.

Step 3
This is another step on how to improve eyesight naturally: take enough sleep.
Getting the proper amount of sleep every night will help your eyes see more clearly the next day. Lack of rest and sleep will affect on the health of your eyes. Make sure that you get a restful sleep around six to eight hours each night.

Step 4
Minimize using corrective lenses. Eye glasses will actually making the eye muscles weaker. There are certainly times that you may not need to wear them. If you are sure that it is safe to be without them, take them off often to help build the muscle up again.

Step 5
After working in long hours, have the habit of covering your eyes for several minutes. First rub your hands together and make them warm, place them over your eyes. Try not to press the eye balls, your fingers should block the light from entering your eyes.

I hope the tips above will improve your vision’s condition.

or is it just a scam to make your eyes worse?

if true then what kind of exercises work?

thanks

Some exercises really do work, while some others do absolutely nothing.
In the worst case, they’re a scam because they take your money in exchange for something that doesn’t work, but they won’t make your eyesight worse. It simply will stay the same.
It’s actually quite easy to detect a scam. Just look at the way they’re advertised: if they promise to fix your vision problem quickly and without effort, they’re a scam. If they’re overly enthusiastic and it looks like they’re advertising the latest miracle diet-pill, it’s a scam. If it costs a lot, it’s surely a scam.
Since most methods have those characteristics or are a hundred years old (like the Bates method), I’ve never really thought of starting a visual training method. But one day a found a book that despite a horrible and pretentious title ("The secret of perfect vision") was actually very serious and contained a lot of explanations not only about the exercises, but also about how the eyes work, the causes of nearsightedness and other important physiological aspects which are extremely important to know. I decided to try it and so far I’ve improved my nearsightedness a lot, from -3.75 to -1, and I’m not finished yet.
The big problem of this or of any other method that really works, is that it takes a long time and great patience, while most people want immediate results without any effort. Of course it’s much easier and quick if you’re only mildly nearsighted, but in any case you can’t expect to fix your eyesight in a month.
Here’s the book:

If animals can do it why cant i?

Because most mammals have a reflective area on there retina that allow them to see much better than humans at night. It is called the tapetum lucidum, and is part of the animals eyes.

They are made to see well at night…we aren’t.

I found a pair of pinhole glasses and when I put them on I was able to see clearly than with my normal vision. I checked on the internet and it says these things can help improve eyesight. But When I take them off my eyesight goes back the way I have it. How can I use these pinholes to improve eyesight? I am slightly nearsighted but don’t wear glasses.

I own a pair of pin hole glasses and I wear them when I watch tv or read under brighter light. They work for people that are near sighted.
One way to tell if they can work for you is to create three pinholes close together on a piece of cardboard and stand back at a distance and watch tv through the pinholescand see if your eyesight appears improved.
You should be able to notice immediately if it will work for you.

ive been doing eye exersises for about 2 weeks now. Ever since I started, whenever I blink I seem to have 20/20 vision for 5 seconds before it goes back to 20/40 when I blink again. I kept doing the exercises and my vision seems to stay 20/20 for a longer time now. Should I continue doing the exercises? Or should I just try relaxing my eyes because that seems to help more.

eye exercise?! theres such thing?!
maybe its all in your head..?

I’m going to Werribe Open range Zoo soon, i had this dream about two weeks ago-the Werribe Line derails as it is switching tracksand spins around to two oncomming trains and smashes. Saw a huge fireball and smoke in my dreams, and everyone on all the trains were dead that were involved in this crash

These horrible dreams/ have a weird way of coming true for me

Trains typically symbolize control and order. A train wreck, however, signifies chaos; things aren’t going your way. It can also mean that you are lacking in self-confidence.
The fireball can mean a number of things: desire, illumination, passion, and destruction are a few. In this case, I would say it means destruction or anger. Symbolically speaking, it represents the fact that something old is being replaced by something new– an emotional or physical transition, for example moving into a new house.
The smoke means that there is trouble coming for you, and that you are confused and anxious. Black smoke means that you cannot see the situation clearly.
And finally, the deaths can mean several things. If you cannot identify the person, then you will come into a great deal of money soon. Death of a loved one means that you lack one of the qualities they possessed. Watching someone die means that your feelings for that person are dead or dying. Of course, none of these people are made up; we only dream about people whom we have seen before. They could have been people who you passed on the street, at work, or at school. Death of a friend or family member is more symbolic than that of a stranger, in my opinion.

My eyes are getting blurry and have to squint my eyes in order to see things clearer. I want to bring back my vision before it’s too late. What is the best way to improve my eyesight ?

Nature has equipped human kind with a power to heal eye problems. Yes, you can make the best of it to bring back your eyesight condition.

The first thing is you have to understand the 2 basic elements : relax your eyes and eliminate eye stress. Eye specialists often tell their patients that good eye exercises mixed with healthy nutrition can effectively eliminate eye strain and stress.

The following are basic exercises on to how to improve your eyesight.

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.

If you apply the above methods daily, you may get the positive effect in no time and you can enjoy the carefree life to see clearly without glasses or contact lenses.

I’ve read somewhere that special eye exercises can correct lazy eye. Is that true ?. What kind of exercises are they ?

Amblyopia can be dramatically improved by performing lazy eye exercises. A study shows that with a continuous treatment, some people can recover from lazy eye, or amblyopia in just about two weeks. No matter what form of treatment the doctor recommends, eye exercises will help to strengthen your eye muscles as part of your therapy program. Below are three basic methods to improve your vision.

1. Eye Patch
Eye patch is probably the most recommended form of treatment because it is safe, effective and inexpensive. The very act of wearing an eye patch itself can be considered as part of the exercise. By covering the dominant eye with an eye patch, the weaker eye is forced to work harder and can communicate with the brain.

2. Training the eyes
After the good eye is covered with an eye patch, you can begin treating the amblyopic eye with lazy eye exercises. Three exercises specially developed to train lazy eyes are : focusing, rolling and tracking.

Focusing Skills
This exercise should be performed by quick shifting focus from near to far distance. For example, read printouts numbers on a sheet of paper then quickly shift your eye to look to a wall calendar.

Rolling
Cover the stronger eye with a patch, then roll the eyes with circular motion.

Tracking
Another lazy eye exercise is tracking. Tracking can help people to integrate the central and peripheral vision. The central vision inform us about the object we are looking at and the peripheral vision tells us to locate the objects. Good vision should have good integration of both these visions.
Here is how to do : use your eye to track the outline of a circle or any other shape. Track the image continuously without any interruption.

3. Focusing on small objects
Train the weaker eye to look small objects or read letters in a book or newspaper. Remember to cover the stronger eye with eye patch and do this exercise at least one hour each day. If you like you can also do crossword puzzles or any other print games on magazines.

Some researchers have developed therapy computer game to help improving the neurons in the brain controlling eye function. It is said that this special therapeutic game can boost the result of lazy eye treatments.

Many people have experienced significant result by following lazy eye exercises without the help of eye surgery and artificial lenses. The exercises can effectively help you treat amblyopia at any age, even if your parents have poor eyesight condition.
