POOR VISION
Poor visionHealthy dieting is very important for your eyesight. Vitamin A is the key to solving many eye problems. You will know that you do not get enough vitamin A, if you feel that your night vision is getting worse. You can get beta carotene ( your body converts beta carotene into vitamin A) with yellow and orange fruits and vegetables (apricots, mangoes, sweet potatoes, zucchini and carrots) and green vegetables (spinach and cabbage)

Glaucoma is caused by increased eye pressure and is connected with lack of thiamine and vitamin A. It is a very common disease in people older than 40. See your doctor if you experience unclear vision, night blindness and if you see a rainbow around bright light. Try dieting and home remedies only as an addition to treatments prescribed by your doctor. You can get thiamine with meat, chicken, nuts, peas and cereal. Other sources of vitamin A are poultry and eggs.

A cataract is the clouding of the lens of the eye. It could be a result of the oxidation process in the lens of the eye. Increase the amount of vitamin C you get with food. Also riboflavin will help with cataracts. You can get it with milk, yeast and whole grains.

People who suffer diabetes can get an edema of the retina which is a reason for losing eyesight in some cases. Vitamin C will help protect your eyes in this case.

You can get redness and sharp pain in your eyes, if you do not get enough B  vitamins.
What food is good for your eyes?

Spinach has vitamins B1, B2, C, P, PP, K, E, proteins, carotene, amino acids. Eating 3 oz of spinach a day prevents the dystrophy of the eye retina. Eat it fresh or steamed with olive oil or sour cream.
Blueberries have vitamins A, C and B, iron, copper, cobalt and manganese.
Eating 3-4 oz of blueberries a day improves blood circulation in the eye retina, increases the sharpness of your vision and prevents cataract of the eye and glaucoma. It also helps to prevent hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
Low fat milk has riboflavin ( vitamin B2), calcium and vitamin D. Drinking 2 glasses of low fat milk a day or putting it in cereal helps with your night vision and seeing colors better.
Carrots have beta-carotene, iodine, manganese, iron, calcium and phosphorus.
Eating 1 medium sized carrot a day will support creating and growing new cells and improve your vision. Eat it with vegetable oil or sour cream.
Eggs have protein and lutein. Eating 1 egg a day prevents getting cataracts and protects the eye nerves.
Beef has protein, vitamins B, A, C and PP, potassium, iron and zinc. Eating 6-7 oz of beef will increase your vision sharpness.
Apricots have vitamins B, beta-carotene, vitamins H (biotin), C and E, phosphorus and cellulose. Eating 2-3 dry or fresh apricots a day will keep your eye capillaries healthy.
Beets have phosphorus,  sodium, manganese, iodine, vitamins C, B1, B2, PP, E, U, folic acid and carotenoids. Eating 3-4 oz of raw or boiled beets ( or drinking beet juice) a day will help with tired eyes and cleanse your blood.
Wild Rose has vitamins C, P, B1, B2, A, K, E, sodium, calcium, manganese, iron and organic acids. Drinking 1 glass of wild rose tea a day will promote durability and elasticity of eye vessels.

Hawthorn has vitamins C, A, B, pectin substances, flavonoids and carotenoids.
Drinking 1 glass of hawthorn tea a day ( or grind dry fruits and mix the hawthorn flour with honey) will help with nearsightedness and promote healthy blood circulation.

Parsley has calcium, phosphorus, beta carotene, potassium and vitamins C and B. Eating 1-1 1/2 oz of parsley a day will help with cataracts, conjuctivitis, eye cornea ulceration and eye nerve diseases. It will also strengthen your immune system and improve your metabolism.
Home Remedies

Glaucoma: This is a very effective remedy, but you will get the best results if you do it in May using herbs from the new season. Mix 1/2 glass of nettle and 1 tea spoon of lilly of the valley flowers, add 1 glass of water and let it sit for 8-9 hours in a dark place, then add 1/2 tea spoon of baking soda. Use the mix for compresses.

Cataract: In the very beginning these compresses will be very helpful: put 1 tea spoon of honey in 1 glass of water and boil it for 5 min.

If you get sty often, drink 1 tea spoon of aloe juice twice a day for 20 days.

This remedy will help if you are losing your eyesight, have tired eyes, or want better blood circulation. Also it will stimulate your eye function. Prepare 1 glass of very warm water and 1 glass of cold water. Take the glass with hot water and try to dip your eye in the water, open it and make movements with your eye and your lid. Do it for 5-10 sec. Then repeat the same exercise for the same eye in the cold water.Then do the same exercises in the same order with your other eye. You can repeat these exercises a few times with each eye but always finish with cold water. Also every day try to increase the time of each exercise. In 1-2 months you should do it up to 5 min for each eye.

Take a few cabbage leaves, wash them in cold water and boil them until they become very soft. Let it sit and eat the leaves 3-4 times a day, drinking the water left from boiling. This will help if you are losing your eyesight.

Take an empty beer bottle, put it on the floor and roll it with your toes, especially focusing on massage of 2nd and 3rd toes, for 8-10 min. (you can do it even while you are watching TV or reading). This massage will improve your poor vision.
Natural Vision Correction - Do Eye Exercises Work?

Is there such a thing as natural vision correction? Is this a myth?
 
I mean, many of us - myself included - have been wearing glasses or contact lenses for years. Never once have our
optometrists told us there are natural ways to improve our vision by exercising our eyes.(Come to think about it, maybe they did know and are not telling us, because if these methods do work, we won’t be prescribing glasses and contact lenses anymore.) Apparently there is such a thing as natural vision correction.

What is natural vision correction?
It comprises a series of exercises that train your eye muscles – just like you'll train your biceps and abs - which over time leads to the natural improvement of your vision.The focusing abilities of your eyes are controlled by a series of internal muscles. Due to the many stresses put upon the visual system, the use of glasses and contacts (yes, some research shows that wearing glasses and contact lenses can worsen your eyesight over time), and the natural aging process itself, these muscles become weak and distorted, therefore resulting in blurred vision.
What natural vision correction exercises do is to strengthen and train these muscles -- just as you would any other weak muscles in your body -- and redirect your point of focus, thus helping you see clearly without corrective lenses and preventing further deterioration of our eyes.

Scientific Proof
Is there scientific proof that eye exercises can improve one's vision? I did some research and this is one of the studies I found:"Symptoms were totally eliminated in 53% of the patients, reduced in 43% and remained the same in only 4%.Therefore ...an overall success rate of 96%. There is an impressive and increasing body of evidence attesting to the trainability of accommodative function." (From a study of 96 patients with some type of accommodative dysfunction who had completed a vision therapy program.) -- Irwin B. Suchoff, O.D., and Timothy G. Petito, O.D. (1986) Journal of the American Optometric Association

Conclusion
Natural vision correction is a therapy that's definitely worth considering, especially if you're thinking about Lasik eye surgery (like I am).

HEALTH TIP
You can save your vision and even improve it with special exercises because you can train any part of your body where you have muscles. And there are muscles in your eyes. Try these effective exercises:
Warming your eyes with your hands. Close your eyes and put your hands on them without touching the eyes themselves. Focus and feel the warmth coming from the center of your hands to your eyes. Direct the warmth to your eyes for 60 seconds.
Rolling your eyes. Close your eyes and roll them slowly in this order: up,  right, down, left , then in the opposite direction. Repeat each direction 5-10 times. Then  slightly massage your lids with your fingertips. Then open your eyes and blink a few times very fast.
Horizontal eye movements. Hold your left arm in front of you and focus your eyes on the nail of the middle finger. Move your arm to the left (your left shoulder and your left arm should be on a straight line) and at the same time follow your arm with your eyes without turning your head.Then move your left arm to the right. Follow it with your eyes. Repeat the same exercise with your right arm. Do it slowly, 5 times with each arm.
Focusing your eyes on your hand. Hold your right arm in front of you and focus your eyes on the nail of your middle finger. Move your hand slowly close to your nose, then slowly move it away. Follow the nail of your middle finger with your eyes all the time. Repeat the same exercise with your left arm. Do it 10-15 times.

BEAUTY TIP
Boil 1 potato with the skin, mash it in a saucer and add 1 tea spoon of sour cream. Apply the warm mask under your eyes and leave it for 20 min. Wash it off with cool water. Follow with your eye cream. This will help with eye wrinkles and flabbiness.
