Improve Eyesight Today Blog

I was diagnosed with nearsightedness which means I can barely see distant objects. But I have no money for glasses let alone surgery.and my job provides us no health insurance. I have been searchin for natural ways and saw about some eye exercises but it doesnt go into detail about how to perform them. Does anyone know about this. How are they done and how long does it take for myopia to dissapear. I would get me some glasses but I barely have money for rent and to eat. I am lookin for cheap options .

Try the Bates Method or get this book,Improve Your Vision Without Glasses ir Contact Lenses.

I’m thinking of buying the eye exercises off a site (rebuildyourvision) for $100 but I’m not sure if it’s just a scam. If any opticians see my question, I have a question for you too: Were you taught anything about this in university? Have you actually tryed these exercises yourself and know for sure it doesn’t work? Why would they offer to let you try it out for one month free, and then give a one year money back guarantee?

YES!!!! Also, the sky is pink. There is ocean front property in Arizona. And if you hold a chicken over your head it will cure baldness.

Are there any institutions in India (preferably in Andhra Pradesh) for practicing eye exercises for squint and sight problems?

Perhaps you could ask an eye specialist in your town?

My vision is suddenly blurry and I cant read far distanced text.
I can see everything far away (objects and stuff).

I’ve been told to do eye exercises, if not take eye drops. I’ve seen the eye exercise and how many times I repeat, but how often should I do them!? once a week? a month?

Who has told you to do eye exercises? Normal vision problems cannot be fixed with eye exercises. If this is not yoru problem and you have been told by a reputable eye doctor to do this then you need to consult them, however it seems to me that you probably need glasses. There is no evidence that eye exercises cure poor eyesight.

Igot it from a fast I went on I started pukkin up green bile and then had double vision.I really regret it can anyone help me out and teach me some eye exercises that can correct it.

You need to see an optometrist to determine what is causing it, then a proper treatment can be found.

There aren’t any specific exercises that will do any good in all cases.

Both my eyes are heavily prescribed. around -500 and -5 for both eyes. What exercises can help relieve stress on the eyes, especially when you tend to spend long hours in front of the computer. please do not say take breaks…i need actual eye exercises thanks!! 10 points guarenteed.

My guess is that you wear your glasses while you work on your computer? (as without glasses you can only see out to ~ 25cm or about a foot).

Also, what is your age?

If you’re over 40, then you need to start thinking about getting weaker glasses just for computer work, or progressive lenses, because focusing on your computer is now too stressful for the focusing system of your eyes.

If you’re younger than 40, then… exercise your eyes this way…. close both your eye lids…. think about the moon… the stars…. slowly open your eyes… and look at something extremely far away (preferably out a window)…

Repeat again… for 5 minutes…
Return to work.

The only way to ‘exercise’ your eyes to relax them from computer stress is… to look at something a lot further away than your computer screen. That’s it. And blink regularly.

I recently decided to improve my eyes via eye exercises [ex palming] and i’m curious as to how long I need to do them before I see signs of eye Improvement? Thanks.

Hi. Well theres so much you can do but if your eyes can turn in all directions easily and you can do all the eye exercises that exist out there then maybe you wont get that much from them. Some people find making sure you relax, smile and being free to alter your own perception of the world helps. So dont be too stiff or closed minded. Its like trying out a style of clothes or listening to a different kind of music on the radio. It helps to be open minded. Also you should not be too analytical and straining to read certain things during the day. Struggling and straining never helps. And always remain comfortable with your NEAR vision. Sounds strange but thats important too

Personally i find the ones where you move your eyes around helped most

If none of this does anything for you try training your eyes with pinhole glasses:

You may find with a high prescription that not wearing glasses is too much of a handicap for your daily life. You will have to try and relax without using glasses. Not feel guilty about it and make sure you go outside as much as you can.

Evidence kids who spend more time outside tend to have better eyesight:

Some people find an approach with using reading glasses to help reverse the elongation of the eyeball helps:
"The Secret of Perfect Vision" by David de Angelis

Other popular books:
"Relearning to See" by Thomas Quackenbush
"The Bates Method for better vision without glasses" by Dr William Bates
"Natural Vision Improvement" by Janet Goodrich

You have to let go of the world of myopia and be happy to live the life of someone with clear vision.

Good luck

BTW the pennybar does not have any evidence of what she is saying. And doesn’t have a scientific background. She is employed as a sales marketer of the "Ortho-K" treatment (sleepign with hard contacts to force the cornea to become flatter.)
With regards to her two "sources". One is just covering the definition of myopia. The other is a hate site that has no science or medical research behind it. It uses insulting language to deride people who seek ‘eyesight improvement material’ and its main claim that eye diseases and dyslexia cannot be cured by eye exercises is irrelevant because eye exercises are for myopia/hyperopia.

I’m suffering from eye strain and I need some exercises to help relieve the pain!

Close your eyes tightly for 2-3 seconds & then open them for 2-3 seconds. Repeat this for about 2 minutes and it should help heaps. This site -http://www.eye-strain.org/eye-exercises/ has a lot more exercises.

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:

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..?
