Introduction Your eyes are one of the most important organs in your body.

You don't pay attention to the subtle changes in your eyes usually.

There is one major point that you will need to keep in mind when you are reading this book. The information that is given here is not intended to replace medical help. If you have any eye problems it is best to consult with your eye physician's first before attempting to treat yourself. However, after you have done so, you may discover that you can benefit by reading about and trying some of the exercises which are given here. So without any further ado let's see how you can improve your natural eyesight condition. 12 Top Causes of Eyestrain Chapter 2 13 Top Causes of Eyestrain Poor health is a main contributor to your eyes suffering from bad vision. Ill health can cause your vision to become somewhat blurred or less clear than usual. Of course there are other contributors to poor vision. These are generally external and are some of the main reasons why your eyesight may become worse over a period of time. To identify these causes you need to think about your lifestyle. You will find that the life you lead, with its hectic pace, pressure to succeed, and daily stresses, are in fact part of the cause of your eyes losing their strength. These however are just a small part of why you may not see as clearly as you once did. To understand these causes more clearly we need to go back to your life as a child. This is when the beginnings of your poor eyesight habits most likely developed. There is plenty of scientific evidence that states that during your infancy and toddler years you had excellent eyesight. This state changed once you started school. Boredom, frustration and the lack of interest in learning could be a contributing factor to poor eye sight. 14 You are probably wondering at this point how your education relates to your eyesight. Well let's put things into perspective, shall we? When you were a child, before you attended school, you had the opportunity to learn a variety of subjects without any restrictions or pressures. Since you had free reign to learn your mind was constantly stimulated. You were more than eager to learn. When you went to school this entire way you learned changed. You now had to learn a number of different subjects, memorize them and do well in all areas of your work. You also learned that if you did not complete your work in the allotted time you may face punishment. Most children, when faced with punishment, work hard to avoid punishment even if they do not like what they are learning. Usually dislike of a subject means that you need to work harder to understand what you are reading and trying to assimilate. This in turn causes you to strain mentally and forces your eyes to read until you have finished, often long after they are tired or hurting. 15 This is where your body and eyes learn bad habits which ultimately lead to poor vision. To help you see some of the contributors to poor vision here is a list of just a few: Reading when you are tired Bad posture Stress / Tiredness Misuse of alcohol Fluorescent lighting Eye strain Prolonged computer or TV usage Working in a stuffy work space. Bad diet As you can see there isn't a single contributor to having poor eyesight. The items listed above are ones we live with because of the work that we need to do or the bad habits that we have forced our bodies to follow. You can however change these habits and reverse the processes which lead to poor vision. The first step is 16 acknowledging that you will need to follow through with better habits over a period of time. As you read this book, take time to remember that just as Rome was not built in a day, it will take some time to reverse the habits which have caused your poor eye sight. But after you have read the book you will have the ability to continually improve your vision each day. And since you are initiating this self improvement process there is no pressure to work at a pace you do not feel comfortable with. Take each step toward improved natural eye sight at you own speed. 17 The Benefits of Relaxing Your Eyes Chapter 3 18 The Benefits Of Relaxing Your Eyes Your eyes are precious. You will find that taking care of your eyes is beneficial to your overall health, emotional well being and mental state. To help you eyes learn how to relax you will need to look at the different techniques available that accomplish this. You will find that relaxing your eyes and body is one of most important things that you can do for yourself. In order to begin relaxing your eyes you will need to find time and a place where you can have peace and quiet. Once you have found the time and the place, sit down and take some deep breaths to calm yourself. After you are calm, close your eyes and try to think of a soothing scene. Being in an open clearing where the wind is your only companion is an option. Allow your mind to envision the light wind blowing around you. Next you need to allow the vision behind your eyelids to become darker. The darker this vision becomes the more relaxed you are. As you see only darkness, allow your mind to see and feel only a soothing wind blowing around you. Stay in this position for a while until you feel completely relaxed. At this point open your eyes. 19 You will notice that during the time you were relaxed, your vision may have improved due to there not being any distractions, any external pressure or strains placed upon your eyes. By allowing your eyes and body some uninterrupted time to relax you will begin to see the benefits in relaxation for your eye sight. This helps your body throw off the stresses and strains of the day which can make you feel lethargic and unable to cope. Many companies are becoming more aware of this fact and are providing time-off for their employees to relax and rejuvenate before going to work for another stretch. While taking a long time off to relax is ideal, there will be times when you will be unable to accomplish this due to work constraints. To compensate for this you can try a few simple exercises to re- fresh your eyes and mind. The first one has you looking away from your current work and blinking a few times. The blinking will lubricate your eyes and help you to see better. 20 The next exercise has you looking completely away from your work at hand. Allow your eyes to focus on objects at varying distances. This exercise helps you to regain your concentration and helps you focus your eyes. There will be more exercises and herbal remedies listed in this book to help you with improving the quality of your eyes as you read further. 21 Poor Eyesight The Facts & The Fiction Chapter 4 22 Poor Eyesight the facts and the fiction While our eyes may deteriorate over time from the stresses, strains and general wear and tear of life, there are many other reasons why your eyesight may not be as sharp as it once was. To help you understand what is going on with your eyesight it is best if you have a clearer picture of the role your eyes play. Then you can explore the different ways that you can help improve your vision. The first item you will need to consider is the lifestyle you are living. How does it affect your eyesight and what needs to be done to improve it? The next item you will need to think about is your health and that of your eyes. What medications are you taking that can cause damage to your vision and to a degree your overall health? In addition, you will need to consider the foods that you eat and how they can help to improve your vision and your health or cause your vision and health to decline. These are some factors you will need to weigh when you are thinking about correcting your vision problems. But first let's clear up a few items. These are the myths we hear regarding how your eyes sight declines. These myths are often just scapegoats. 23 Once you have looked at the various myths, you may want to know some facts which will actually help you improve your eyes. These fare ones you should think about. As you read through this section try to understand the various ways that you can use these facts to help you to improve your vision in a natural way. The first section we will look at is myths which have built up around poor vision. Here are some of the myths we have heard: Eating lots of carrots will improve your vision. If you wear contact lens they will make your nearsightedness better. A night light is bad for toddlers because it will cause them to have poor vision. If you use over the counter reading glasses they can hurt your eyes. These are some of the myths which have come about regarding the different ways that people can make their eyesight bad. While some of these myths have small grains of truth to them, these 24 "reasons" will not cause your eyesight to worsen nor will some of them miraculously cure your vision. This means that even if you eat lots of carrots you will not be able to see better. This example is just one way that shows you how some of these myths have become distorted. The main point to remember when you are looking at some of the vision myths is that most of these may have arisen from superstition or old wives' tales. You will also need to understand that sometimes medical facts have become distorted with the passage of time or have been disproven. The truth is that while carrots are good for you, they can improve your general health by providing your body with needed vitamins and minerals. You should consider eating this vegetable alongside other foods as part of a balanced diet for better overall health. While reading in the dark can bring strain to your eyes, you may not necessary make your vision bad in this manner. The fact is that by straining your eyes you can give yourself a headache and eye strain that hurts over time. You can correct this situation by 25 putting a bright light on or staying in a place where there is a good lighting while reading. Next sit so that your reading material allows the light to fall on the page so that you can see the words. Here are some true facts regarding over the counter reading glasses. These glasses have been designed with a select group of people in mind. They have also been designed for a specific purpose. When you look at the various over the counter reading glasses you will discover various colors, shapes and sizes. In addition to these fashion trends each pair of glasses will have a specific vision number assigned to them. This number will allow you to choose the reading glasses that are made for your vision. You will find that these glasses are perfect for the times when you need to read books, newspapers, documents and even signs. Trying to do other activities with these glasses will cause you to strain your eyes. This is why there is a myth that these over the counter glasses are bad for you. The other myth you may have heard is that watching too much television can be bad for your eyes. In this myth it is suggested that the various colors emanating from your TV are bad for your 26 eye sight if you sit too near it. While some of the colors can be jarring up close, they may not necessary harm your eyes. You might get a headache trying to figure out what the images are, but beyond this there is nothing supporting that TV watching will damage or worsen your vision. The final myth to look at is how contact lens will improve your near sightedness. With this myth you need to consider a few facts. The first fact you need to understand is that contact lenses have been designed to help correct vision problems while you are wearing them. Once you remove the lenses, these corrective aids will no longer be in effect. By using contact lens and glasses you are causing your eyes to be dependent on these devices. Your eyes are not given a chance to adjust to the changes in the environment since you see everything magnified via the use of these lenses. In order to correct this problem you may consider removing your contacts or glasses and letting your eyes adjust to sight without them. While at first you will see blurred images, your vision will soon become accustomed to seeing without them. 27 To better improve your vision you will need to close your eyes and completely relax. This relaxation technique is one where you can relax your eye muscles and let the blood flow to your eyes without any straining. With your eyes closed you will let them see only a wall of black in front of them. After this wall has fully encompassed your line of sight you can open your eyes. You will see some difference in the amount of objects you can see as well as notice the amount of visual blurring which is part of poor vision. During this period of time you should try to note how long it takes for your vision to return to "normal". As you try some eye exercises which can be found in later sections of this book you will find that the period of time where your eyes can clearly focus on objects is becoming longer and you are able to see at various distances much better than before. As you can see, there are many myths about improving your sight. Some of these myths are based on facts and will work for you depending on the state of your vision. Others will not pertain to your vision or your health. By reviewing each myth, you will find be able to sort through the ones that come closest to you. 28 Remember that when these myths developed people attributed poor vision to the many factors that they knew at the time. To make sure that you do not allow these myths to cloud your viewpoint about poor vision and its cures, you should look at your particular vision problem and find facts pertaining to it. The final thing to remember when looking to cure your vision naturally is that time And determination are the only things that can make a difference to your sight. 29 Is Wearing Glasses Good for You? Chapter 5 30 Is wearing glasses good for you? While glasses do have the ability to help you to see, there are times when you will find that your eyesight may be better without glasses. So the real question you need to ask is will you see better if you are wearing glasses or not? And if you do not want to wear glasses or contacts, what can you do to help your eyesight improve without further damaging it? The first thing to understand is that even though glasses and contact lenses help with correcting your vision, they only address part of the problem. Glasses are not made with the intention of curing your vision. If this was the case, then after a short period of time your eyesight would be better and you would no longer need to wear glasses or contact lenses. If you currently wear glasses or contact lenses you will have to see just how bad your vision really is without them for a couple of hours. For this experiment you will need to pick a day when you are not going to be leaving the house or doing anything which requires concentration, sharp objects, or machinery operation. You should also make sure that you are relaxed. Being relaxed is 31 very important in this step because when you are tense your eye muscles become tense which hinders the experiment. First choose something like a book or a poster which has images or words of differing sizes. Look at the picture and try to read the various words. Go from the large ones to the smaller ones. Once you have read all of these words take off your glasses and try to read the words again. Continue until the words become blurry. This blurriness is a marker that you can use to tell just what your state of sight is without your glasses. The next part of the experiment entails sitting down near a table. Close your eyes and gently lay your palms over your eyes. Make sure that you do not press the palms too tightly against your eyes. Keep your eyes closed until your inner vision these are the images you will see against your eye lids starts becoming darker. The darker the vision is the more relaxed you have become. Once the inner vision is totally black, remove your palms from your eyes. Wait a few moments and then open your eyes. Try to read the same words again to see how far you can get before the words become unreadable. You should be able to compare how good or 32 bad your vision has become in those few moments of reading without your glasses. During the second reading, if your eyesight has sufficiently improved, then you know that you may be able, with some time and effort, to improve your eyesight. The main fact to keep in mind during this experiment is that you have a limited vision when you start your vision improvement experiment. As time passes, however, you may notice that, not only is your vision improving, but that you may need to wear your glasses or contact lenses less often than before the vision improvement exercises. With these facts in mind you should not throw away your glasses because you will still need them while you are in the process of improving your vision. In order to improve the problems you have it will take some time and effort on your part. It may, however, be achieved by anyone at any age. At the end of this journey you may see just how much better you can see and how the overall quality of your life has improved. 33 To achieve all of these things, you will need to begin the journey shown in this book. Read each page and let your vision escape of the prison built by your glasses and contact lenses.
