HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR VISION NATURALLY

Are you looking for clearer vision, but don't want to use corrective lenses or surgery? Though the jury is still out on whether eyesight can be improved through natural means, you can try a few tips and exercises that might help. Here's what to do.

FIRST IS: Pencil Pushups

                Of course you must find a pencil, and mark it somewhere in the middle. Draw a letter, number or dot on the side of the pencil. For this exercise, you'll focus on the pencil and the dot as you move it toward and away from your eyes. Pencil push-ups are reputed to correct double vision and crossed eyes, but it can't hurt to try them for other issues — it's free, painless, and only involves focusing and refocusing your eyes.

Hold the pencil in front of your face, at arm's length. Keep the pencil vertical, so that the eraser is pointing toward either the ceiling or the floor. Focus your eyes on the mark you drew on the pencil. Don't proceed to the next step until you feel like your eyes are solidly focused.Slowly move the pencil toward your face, maintaining your focus on the same spot. Try to move it in a straight line, toward your nose.As the pencil comes closer, your eyes will have to adjust to maintain the same level of focus.Stop when you see two pencils. As soon as the pencil doubles, stop moving it closer to your face.Look away for a few seconds, or close your eyes. Without moving your head or the pencil, shift your focus away from the pencil for a moment. Focus on something else in your visual field, and don't worry about looking at the pencil at all for at least 5 seconds. If you're having a hard time, close your eyes for a moment.Look back at the pencil. Once your eyes are refreshed, try to focus on the pencil so that you aren't seeing double.If you're still seeing two pencils, rest your eyes for a few more seconds and try again. Don't get discouraged if you still see two pencils after your second try — you'll get better! Just move on to the next step. Slowly move the pencil away from your face. Keep your focus on the mark you drew on the pencil as it moves back. Keep going until it's at arm's length again.Repeat the exercise. Pencil push-ups work best when you do them repeatedly, as part of a daily routine; set aside five minutes a day at first, then try ramping up to 10.

SECOND IS: Lifestyle Changes

Eat foods that promote eye health. While you probably can't change your vision with diet alone, you can make sure your eyes have all the nutrients they need. Try to incorporate these foods into your meals:

·         Leafy greens (such as kale, chard, collards and spinach)

·         Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish like salmon and tuna)

·         Citrus fruits and juices (such as oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit)

·         Non-meat protein sources (like bananas, beans and nuts)

·         A vitamin supplement that contains omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, vitamins C and E.

Give up smoking. Smoking can lead to macular degeneration later in life, as well as cataracts. Find a support group to help you quit, or enlist the help of a psychiatrist who applies medical treatments to addiction.Wear sunglasses. Like smoking, too much exposure to ultraviolet light can lead to macular degeneration and cataracts. Make sure your sunglasses UVA and UVB rays.Wrap-around glasses are ideal, since they'll block light from the sides of your eyes as well as the front.Try to wear sunglasses whenever you venture outside.Reduce eye strain. Like any other muscle, the muscles around your eyes can start to feel fatigued and painful if you strain them too much.

TIPS:

·         Manage your expectations. Even if these changes can help your eyesight over the long term, you probably won't see a dramatic improvement right away. Be patient.

·         Every day in the morning, open up the window and look at the trees. Pick the farthest one. Keep staring at it for 5-10 minutes every day, and after a few months or weeks, your vision will improve.[citation needed]

·         Do eye exercises such as rolling your eyes, looking down, up, side to side.

·         The Bates Method, which advises a variety of exercises such as palming and sun gazing, has been widely discredited.

·         Eat carrots they're filled with vitamin A, which helps your eyes.
