POOR
VISION |
Healthy 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.

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).

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.

| Boil
1 potato with the skin, mash
it in a saucer and
