As much as I would love this to happen, I find it almost impossible to improve eye sight without glasses. But, here's a suggestion: if you don't want glasses, you could try contacts. If your eye sight is slightly poor, you should be fine. You could by a cheap pair of glasses and wear them when needed. If your eye sight is pretty good, don't were glasses all the time or your sight will worsen. Trust me. Now I wear contacts because I have trouble seeing. But, otherwise, I don't think there is any way to improve your sight naturally or quickly. (People say that the vitamin C in carrots helps but I'm not sure so that might be something to look into.)

Use pinhole glasses when watching TV and while hanging out at home.

Try not to wear contacts or glasses for at least 4 hours a day - your eyes get dependent on them and can make your prescription worse.

Go online and find some of the natural vision training exercises to do while at your desk or watching TV.

Doing all of the above, I have improved my natural eyesight from 20/300 in the left eye and 20/200 in my right eye to 20/100 in both eyes! That occurred over the course of 8 months and without strict discipline!

Taking more food that contains vitamin A such as carrots may help to naturally improve your eye sight. We can also always do exercises. There are exercises such as rolling your eyeball to form an invisible square that are always recommended by the doctors to improve one's eyesight. I don't know about quickly as there is no fast way to reach one's goal.

However, according to researches done by some scientist, they say that vegetarians can help to improve one's eye sight. I believe it because I am a vegetarian and my eye short-sightedness power remains the same without any increase after about 2 years. The doctor was shocked because teenagers at my years will usually have a most increase since we are always watching TV, playing computers and also reading. I do not know whether it is totally true or not but it does affect a bit on the result.

I have to admit I'm embarrassed that I bought into the '20/20 without glasses!!!' hype for a while. But you CAN improve your eyesight a bit, or I suppose a lot depending on what your problem is. If you have a convergence problem, exercises could theoretically cure you, because that's about muscle control which can be trained. If you're "just" nearsighted like me, you can get a little improvement... but I doubt a lot.

I'm -2.5 in both eyes and I got my vision to -2.25 (much of the time) by doing the kinds of focusing and relaxation exercises recommended by the various methods. A big deal, I thought, was to remove my glasses or contacts to do the exercises and try to just relax and see what I could see, by really looking without straining. I also used a weaker pair of glasses (an old prescription). After about a week or so my -2.5 prescription felt waaaay too strong. Some mornings I'd wake up and be able to see remarkably well with no lenses. I replaced my prescription with -2.25 and still wear that to this day even though I no longer do the exercises much. My vision is at least 20/20 with this compensation (although things don't look as supercrystal as with 2.5, at least I don't feel like my eyes are being strained by the lenses, and I'm not nearly as worried about my eyes getting continuously worse).

My optometrist said that getting a slightly less strong prescription will help ease eyestrain when working close up with minus lenses on, too (they sometimes prescribe +0.5 lenses for this purpose, to be worn over minus lenses when working at a computer).

I really think that a lot of the "eye exercises" are just disguised meditations, and it's the stopping of straining and emphasis on relaxation that really helps eyesight naturally.

Sorry, but quickly doesn't come into it. I began working on my defective eyesight many years ago. I tried some famous and some infamous remedies, including the controversial Bates method.

Those exercises, which are widely published, were helpful, but not in any immediate way.

I am myopic, have been since about the age of twelve. Astigmatic as well. for years I wore a pretty strong prescription.

One thing I noticed: the more I wore my glasses, the worse my eyes got. I spoke to a lot of ophthalmologists about this, and it was clear they were divided on the issue. Some said you should always wear the glasses, some said, no, only when you absolutely had to.

I discovered, with the help of a good Tai Ch'i teacher, that there was something to be gained from learning the process of remaining always comfortably soft focused. In other words, avoiding squinting and straining to see.

About twelve years ago, I gave up glasses entirely, and worked very heard at keeping my eyes relaxed. I did a lot of far-seeing... going out to wide open spaces and looking into the distance with a relaxed open gaze.

In the thirty years before this, when I wore glasses, my prescription had gotten steadily stronger. Last year I went to check my vision and the doctor discovered that my eyesight was the same as it was when I stopped wearing glasses.

Of course I will not generalize my experience to everyone else, but for me, dispensing with glasses was the wisest course to preserve my eyes.

It will not work for people that absolutely have to see at distance with great clarity. But as nothing in my life dictated this need, for me it was a good move.

Each person has to work on their health according to their need and ability.

A few tips:
i. if you are reading rest your eyes by cupping hands over the eyes without touching , i.e. keeping the eyes in total darkness
every fifteen minutes or half an hour, two or three minutes each time.
ii. or shift your eyes from the white paper to outside, say look at the blue sky for sometime or look at green meadows or trees for some time.
iii.if you are watching TV it would be better to sit in a swing and slowly moving to and fro, thus working the eyes to actively alter the focal point, exercising the lens. This movement is better than statically staring at the TV screen without any shift.
iv. if you are watching a film at the theatre, it would be better to take your seat 25 degrees away from the central beam of light thus avoiding direct reflection of powerful light from the bright screen.
v. as others have said carrot can help. eaat a lot of vegetables.
vi. close your eyes and spend a few minutes blindly staring at the rising sun.
vii. exercise your eyes by rolling them looking at the corners and up and down.
viii. if you have pain around the eyebrows, and feel dryness of the eyes, take B-complex. particularly B 1 (Thiamine).
ix if you have burning sensation in the eyes apply some specific herbal oil to the crown of your head and have a bath.
x. you must have good sleep.
Note: "naturally and quickly" is rather impossible. good practices must develop from childhood days.

1. Vitamin A is needed for good eyesight
(Consult your doctor for treatment)
2. If you are sitting alot in front of the computer get yourself
a TFT monitor instead of CRT
3. When you are outside try to look at green far away object, oposite to close red, it will keep your eyes relaxed.
4. Excersize reading with variable font size and distance without glasses (consult oftalmologist for how long you can do this)
5. Do not watch TV or play video games longer than 2 hours a day
6. Eat a lot of vegetables, specialy carrots (they are rich of vitamin A)
7. Go to the nature, look at it's beauty.

2007-07-21 01:59:24 · answer #9 · answered by Krstov 3 · 0 0

anything with vitamin A in it, carrots, liver, mangoes has vitamin A or you can take Vitamin A supplements.

use some eye exercises like every 15 to 30 min. if you're on the computer a lot, then you can start blinking, squinting your eyes repeatedly, closing and opening yours, winking back and forth so you wont get any eye strains while reading as well.

Every 30 or 45 min on the computer, look away from the computer and take a break for 5 or 10 min, use that time to eat or use the restroom.

My goal at this point in the answering process of your question is to avoid any more repitition of what has already been discussed and / or debated.

One thing is definitely missing, unless I read the responses too quickly. Even the high quality reply re: Vitamins A, B2 and B12, left it out.

I agree with the bulk of facts presented. Notice I said facts. Not what mom said, nor experiments suggested but never tried, and certainly not staring at lasers or playing video games for hours.

Consider the link provided regarding Vitamin C.

My main suggestion is this: it isn't just in what you do, and it isn't just in what you don't do; it is clearly both. May I suggest that of all of the things that have been damaged by digital technology, the eyes have suffered the most? However, as I said, it isn't just what you do. If a person is constantly involved with work involving a computer monitor, and doesn't practice quality eye care, such as periodic rest periods, getting lots of rest, and eating foods rich in A, B complex, and C, among others, then the results will be more damaging than for the one who is in the same line of work who does these things.

Now, back to Vitamin C complex. (No, ascorbic acid is not the whole story.)

For some reason, we have come to believe, probably because Mom's across the vitamin using world have said so, that the best time to take a supplemental vitamin is in the morning.

Actually, the best time to take supplements is throughout the day, and especially at bedtime.

How does this part of my answer pertain to the eyes? Vitamins C, and the rest noted, since they are so actively involved with eye health, will do the most good when the eyes are resting.

Remember also the supplements are not supposed to do the work alone and that is why they are called supplements. What do they supplement? Good nutritious foods rich in the same vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals required to live out this segment of the hippocratic oath. Sorry to leave you out of the list, Micky D, Burger K, and Wendy.

"I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice."

(It's not just for doctors, you know.)

And yes, it is unjust to inflict injury on yourself and your health.

What is the basis of what Hippocrates said about health related matters? Do no harm. This applies to the eyes, the brain, the lungs, the heart, the liver, the skin, etc.

Perhaps we also should look at how to protect vision by not damaging the part of the brain which is closely related to vision.

Can cigarette smoke impede oxygen from getting to the part of the brain that the eyes rely on?

Since diabetis type 2 is largely contracted by poor dietary choices, and it inflicts damage on the eyes, this also applies. See the first paragraph in the link.

I noticed during my search that many have found that many people have provided input on how to avoid alcohol related hangovers. I have provided a link that you may find interesting when you look at it from a scientific viewpoint.

The activity that creates the hangover is very likely to cause damage to cells in the brain that are directly related to eyesight. Why are so many people trying to find a way to deal with symptoms of a disease that is contracted directly by personal choice?

Once again, I appeal to Hippocrates. Do no harm.

Since many people with more knowledge and training than I have already stated that to some extent you cannot improve the eye muscle itself, then I think I will end with this simple suggestion: Don't make choices that are going to make the situation worse.

Quck recap:

1. If your career or job involves anything potentially damaging to the eyes, then offset the probability with eye rest and nutrition.

2. Remember that supplements may be most beneficial taken at bedtime, especially those related to the eyes.

3. The most critical nutrients, to be obtained via the diet, or by supplements that help on a cellular level, i. e. whole food supplements rather than vitamin factory synthetics, are A, B Complex and C.

4. Follow the Hippocratic Oath, whnen correctly applied to all of us: Do no harm to your body.

Right after you finsh reading this answer, evaluate how long you have been at the computer, and how your eyes feel. If necessary, take a break of no shorter duration than one hour, and go eat a carrot or two, or, well, the whole bag, if you think that will help. (I'm rather doubtful.) :)

Disclaimer for those of you on the job:

Do not follow this last bit of advice if you will be fired as a result. :)
