Do you have poor vision? Are your arms getting shorter? Did you know your eye sight does NOT have to worsen with time? That you CAN improve your vision?
Do you know eyes do not “rust with time”
With age, our ability to heal does slow down, so as we get older we are more vulnerable to conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, etc.
But if we remove the environmental factors that contribute to vision loss, you can not only prevent vision loss, but improve your vision.
To prevent damage, avoid damaging UV rays.
Glasses that filter out the blue light not only helps your eyes, but helps prevent the artificial light from messing with your circadian rhythm (your sleep/wake cycle).
Did you know some sunglass types can make you more prone to cataracts while others prevent cataracts? Sunglasses without UV protection will decrease the light, so your eyes will dilate, allowing for more damaging UV light to enter your eyes. Make sure your sunglasses are UV protected!
Staring at any object the same distance from your eyes causes fatigue of the little muscles in your eyes, which can result in headaches, and early deterioration of eyesight.
Have you ever known someone who took an office job and then rapidly had to buy stronger eyeglasses or start using “readers” or bifocals?
Why? The lenses in our eyes are flexible, or “elastic,” changing as we focus on things at different distances from our eyes.
The eye is brilliantly designed to conserve energy while focusing far away. I explain why the poor little muscles in our eyes need to CONTRACT so we can see the screen!
As we age, the lens becomes less elastic, and that is why most elderly people lose their ability to focus nearby. Now we are finding people losing this ability at an earlier age because they look at screens too close to their eyes for too long. When you look near and far repeatedly, this gets the lens to round and flatten, keeping it pliable. Worse, people are losing the ability to see far as well, from staring at computer screens for years, as the lens looses its ability to flatten out.
If you keep a muscle in a contracted state, it makes more metabolic waste, and occludes the flow of blood in and lymph out. This can lead to degenerative conditions like glaucoma.
Muscles were not designed to stay in a contracted state for hours at a time. They rely on movement to encourage fluid flow, bringing nutrients in and carrying waste away. Without this movement, the muscle strain as their own toxic metabolic waste festers.
Holding your eyes still to focus on a computer screen all day will cause the tight muscles to shorten over time, and the stretched out muscles looser over time. This can literally change the shape of your eyeball, negatively impacting your eyesight!
The muscles controlling the movement of the eyeballs needs to remain flexible and strong enough to move your eyes so they can better look around, follow moving objects and focusing the eyes on the object (else you may develop double vision).
IMPORTANCE OF BLINKING:
Another reason to look at distant objects throughout the day is that focusing on objects far away also causes our eyelids to reflexively blink more frequently. When you look at something close, the natural blink rate slows down, as you are concentrating intently at what you are looking at, and, however briefly, blinking interferes with vision and concentration.
Blinking helps distribute wet tears over the eyes. Without frequent blinking, your eyes are at risk of drying out.
Staring closely at a screen can make this much worse, even to the point of causing eye pain (yet another pain in the head), and negatively impact the health of your eyes.
3 types of tears.
• Basal tears: These tears lubricate the eyes so they don’t dry out.
• Reflex tears: These waterier tears remove irritants.
• Psychic tears: These tears are due to emotional stressors (both extreme happiness and sadness) and are full of stress hormones.
Can you see how letting yourself cry helps your overall health by helping your body eliminate excess stress hormones.
Basically - Look up, down, right, left, make circles with your eyes.
BATES METHOD -
If you want to learn the Bates Method (a specific exercise regimen) to help correct your vision, watch youtube videos on the bates method.
Like anything if you move well (the bates exercises), sleep well (when the eyes relax and heal) and eat well (to provide the nutrients the eyes need to function and repair) your eyes will SEE well.
With that said, sometimes supplements are needed if the diet is lacking.
