Eyesight Question.?
Is it possible to improve or enhance eyesight by simple exercises for the eyes. There are a bunch of websites that say it IS possible, but many people say it isn’t. I already know it is possible to maintain 20/20 eyesight with exercises, but not sure about improving eyesight.
I have had several patients/customers that claim that too- and I had to REALLY bite my tounge to kee from laughing the next time they came in with a new rx!

Take a good look at the discussion forums on those sites; you will see a lot of wishful thinking, reports of people going without glasses and getting by, some reports of "improvement" in the 0.50 to 0.75 range but few, if any, reports of people who actually changed their presciption to zero.
Join the boards, and ask the question of any success stories. You won’t hear much.

The exercises can only help if one of the problems contributing to poor eyesight is related to the muscles around the eye (ie convergence insufficiency).
Refractive correction (the need for glasses and contacts) is based on the shape/depth of the eyeball itself, which can’t be changed by exercises.
