Glasses and Contacts-Temporary Fix Only (written for Vision Improvement)
Vision Without Glasses (an e-book) discusses thoroughly what causes impaired vision in people. It encourages you (the reader) to take proactive steps to improve your own eyes rather than grab onto the crutch of glasses and contacts.
Overcoming troubled vision could definitely improve your quality of life. If you currently wear glasses, consider how dependent you are on them for your day-to-day functioning. If you lose them or do not have access to them for whatever reason, you experience some frustration. Glasses cannot be considered a permanent fix, then; instead, glasses are a helpful tool.
And, contacts cannot be considered a permanent fix either. While contacts (especially hard contacts) do prevent the eyes somewhat from deteriorating further by holding the shape of the eye, they still have drawbacks. They are high maintenance, can be lost easily, and they can tear easily.
This e-book, Vision Without Glasses walks you through how to regain healthy eyesight naturally based on the well-known research and studies of Dr. Bates. Because the methods are natural, the medical world does not recognize nor the findings; but many have found through personal experience that his guide leads them to the results they ultimately want for their eyes.
Many years ago, Dr. Bates reported that excessive strain on the body, the eyes, and even on one's mental or emotional state negatively affects your vision. His studies led him to the conclusion that you must exercise your eyes just as any other important part of your body that you want to keep in shape. By exercising and relaxing your eyes systematically, over time, you can eliminate your need for glasses.
Duke Peterson's e-book Vision Without Glasses details the specific exercises that you can do to strengthen your eyes every day. By reading his e-book, you will also discover how you are perhaps unknowingly straining your eyes. Then, by following his methods, you will soon naturally improve your vision.
Rapid Blinking Can Improve Your Eyesight
The information that you hear about being able to improve your eyesight by exercising your eyes is true. It may seem hard to believe. So many people wear glasses and contacts to correct their vision. If eye exercises and such natural types of remedies work, why don't more people take advantage of the methods?
Firstly, the natural methods are under-advertised and under-recommended. Optometry, retails sales of glasses and contacts are big business, not to mention expensive laser surgery options-all of which are well-advertised. What would happen to that industry if we all were practicing natural methods to maintain and improve our eye health.
Improving your vision is not an overwhelming task. It is simple, it can be done almost anywhere, and it does not require much of your time at all. It only requires some intentional and on purpose choices to use your eye differently than maybe you have prior to today.
Whether you currently wear glasses or not, there are several exercises that you can do to begin strengthening your eyes and improving your vision now. But for now, focus just on blinking your eyes rapidly.
You can do this exercise right now as you read the directions in this short article. Blink both of your eyes as quickly as you can for around one minute. Keep blinking even if your eyes get tired, and keeping blinking as fast as you can. By doing this, you force your eye muscles to warm up, expand and contract more easily, and therefore your eyes will experience less fatigue.
Faster blinking increases the blood flow to your eyes, which in turn improves your vision right away. This is a scientifically known fact. Blinking strengthens the capillaries, capillaries control the blood flow to the eye, and so more blood carried to the eyes brings more nutrients to the eyes, which makes for more healthy eyes.
Go ahead and experiment. Blink rapidly for five minutes each day (although you do not have to do all five minutes at one time) and notice the improvements in your vision. Of course, the more often you work on your eyes, the more improvement you will see and the more permanent your results will be.
Posture and Eyesight Are Connected
Those who come from a holistic health view agree that being healthy includes mind, body, and spirit. Therefore, how you view life-literally, through your eyes-affects your health in all areas: physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental. And, these holistic doctors also believe that the reverse is true-that your overall health affects your vision.
Dr. William Bates founded "natural vision improvement;" he taught that when you experience stress (either physical or mental), you strain your eyes in order to see and then cause your eye shape to change. Distorted eye shape leads to impaired vision. Dr. Bates taught that learning how to relax the mind, the body, and the eye is the key to good vision.
Carrying yourself with good posture allows you to relax your body and your mind because it leads to correct breathing. If you are not breathing correctly, you restrict your lungs from getting enough oxygen. Blood carries oxygen from the lungs to all other parts of the body, and a shortage of oxygen in your body cannot support healthy vision.
If you typically practice poor posture, you may experience various pains: aching neck, unrested legs, and headaches. Some postures (such as an overstated arch) stress your nerves and joints, which can lead to joint pain and various forms of arthritis over time. Poor posture affects your spine and changes its alignment over time. All of these aches and pains can cause problems during your sleep; and, if you do not sleep well, you cannot relax your body, your mind, or your eyes.
To improve your posture and your ability to relax, become aware of how you move through space. Ask yourself the following questions regularly:
" Is my head squared above my shoulders?
" From the sides, are my ears aligned with shoulders, and are my shoulders aligned with my hips?
" Is my chin tucked in?
" Am I slouching, or is my upper back straight?
" Is my pelvis in a neutral position?
" Are my knees unlocked and natural?
" Are my shoulders relaxed and are my shoulder blades flat against my back?
Paying attention to your posture while you are standing, sitting, and moving throughout your day, could lead to an improvement in your eyesight and your ability to relax.
