Answer 1

Eat carrots. The carotene in them helps vision.

Answer 2

Pencil Exercise

Hold a pencil arms length in front of you. Really focus on the tip of that pencil. Once you have it focussed, very slowly move it towards you whilst still maintaining the focus. See how close you can get it before losing this focus.

Swinging

Focus on a distant object, swaying gently from side to side. Do this for a few minutes every day, blinking as you sway. The blinking helps clean and lubricates the eyes, which is especially important if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer.

Clothesline

Japanese studies show that this exercise can significantly improve your eyesight if done regularly. Place a picture on a clothesline. Stand about a foot away from it and focus on the picture whilst it is (probably rapidly) moving. Move back a foot and repeat. Continue with this until you are about 10 feet away.

Candle Exercise

Eye sight is not just about your eyes. It is also about the eye brain relationship. Your brain must interpret what the eyes pick up. This exercise aims to improve the brain/eye connection.

Put your self in a quiet, dark place and look at a lighted candle. Focus your attention at the blue part of the flame and blink gently. After a minute or two try to imagine the lighted flame with your eyes closed.

If the visualization is not perfect, again look at the blue part of the flame and try to imagine the same without making any effort. When you are able to visualize the flame in your imagination open your eyes.

Colour Day

Choose a colour and look out for it throughout the day wherever you go. When you see the particular colour, be aware of it. Don’t bother concentrating on the shape of the object, just experience the colour and it’s subtle shadings. This again should help the eye/brain connection. Sunning

Try to do this daily. It may be difficult if you live somewhere like the UK! Close your eyes. Look directly at the sun through your closed eyes. While facing the sun, slowly rotate your head from side to side as far as you can. This gets the sunlight on the peripheral vision, and it helps bring more blood circulation to your neck. Do this for a few minutes. Enjoy the warming soothing feeling of the sun on your eyes.

Eye Massage

This exercise helps improve the blood circulation to the eye muscles.

Answer 3

Minimize your time on your computer or other video devices, including television. No, I'm not an optometrist, but having lived long enough, I have learned a lot about taking care of your vision to realize the obvious. Also, don't read or do any paperwork in too dim a light. And don't watch television in an otherwise unlit room. I'm sure you've been given similar advice over the years. Whether you liked the advice or not, or whether you wanted to obey the advice or not, it was right, and good for your vision. God Bless you.

Answer 4

No...eat all the carrots you want and it won't improve your vision. Beta carotene is good for the overall health of the eyes, but does nothing to improve your vision. The only way to improve your vision is to reshape the anatomy of your eye, as it is the shape of the eye that causes the need for correction. And since you cannot reshape your eye, the only thing that comes close is having refractive surgery to reshape your cornea to compensate for the anatomical imperfections of the eye that cause your refractive error.

All the carrots in the world aren't going to improve your vision a bit. Sorry, but your eyes are going to still get worse. You can blame it on your parents, and your grand parents, and your great grand parents and so on and so forth.

Answer 5

The best way to improve your vision is to detox by regularly using an ionic foot bath. This will remove any heavy metals from your system and allow your whole body to function better and can result in better vision.
