Can you do special exercises "naturally" to make yourself 7 feet tall? Of course not. Your physical anatomy is what determines how tall you are. You can't change how big your bones choose to grow.



So why do you think you'd be able to change the PHYSICAL ANATOMY of your eyeballs? You are myopic (nearsighted). Your eyeball is physically too long. There is no exercise and there is no nutrient that is going to shrink your eyeball back to the correct size. You can't change how your eye has chosen to grow (based on genetics) just like you cannot change how tall your bones choose to grow.



Omega-3 is good for the glands in your eyelids that produce your tear film.

Preservision contains the vitamins and antioxidants that were part of the AREDS study that can potentially slow the effects of advanced macular degeneration.



You can take the vitamins; they certainly aren't going to hurt you, but they are not going to reverse your myopia. After you turn 18, consider having LASIK surgery to correct your nearsightedness.



Staying up late playing computer games also didn't cause 3.00 diopters of myopia. Your genetics did.



You cannot control your genetic prescription just like you cannot control your genetic height. Sorry. Any of those articles you read on the internet that tell you otherwise are bogus.



Scowie: Chances are he has a vertical deviation (ex: base up/down), and not a horizontal deviation (ex: base out/in). Which in that case, the only thing that is going to fix a vertical deviation is surgery or prism. Prism obviously is cheaper and usually does the trick just fine.



Even if you would hack off 2.00 D off his prescription, I sure hope you don't expect him to read the board in school, or drive a car.......



And why on earth would you take off sphere power to correct cylinder (astigmatism)? You do yourself (or him) zero favors by doing that. Unless you like viewing the world as a fishbowl.



And you can't tell me that I'm a -5.00 myope because of my environment. I grew up on a farm and spent every minute outside (unless I was in school). Genetics have a MUCH stronger role on your prescription than does environment. Same way that the OP doesn't have 3.00 diopters of myopia because he spent one summer playing computer games. Yes, accommodative excess and accommodative spasm do happen from extended nearwork. But genetics are what are going to play the biggest role on what a person's prescription is.



Don't spout information and "evidence" you don't actually understand. The monkey study you quoted? WRONG. Plus lenses caused myopia; not negative lenses.



You don't have any idea what you are talking about.

There are several systems to improve rapidly and naturally vision.

To know how to do that you can discover here a compelte technique focused around researches done by some researcher, for a shabby price: ( http://getyourvisionbacknow.keysolve.net )



I can provide for you simply a few tips however I recommend to give a look to the technique that i posted above...for illustration you can take more sustenance that holds vitamin A, for example, carrots may help to naturally improve your vision. We can likewise dependably do exercises. There are exercises, for example, rolling your eyeball to form an undetectable square that are constantly recommended by the doctors to improve one's vision. I don't think about rapidly as there is no quick approach to reach one's objective. Vegetarians can help to improve one's vision. I accept it in light of the fact that I am a vegetarian and my eye short-sightedness power remains the same without any increase after around 2 years. The doctor was stunned in light of the fact that teenagers at my years will normally have a most increase since we are continually staring at the TV, playing computers furthermore reading. I don't know whether it is completely true or not yet it does influence a bit on the result. At any rate i propose to check the connection that I posted.

here's the good news:

You can improve your eyesight by simply learning, naturally and practicing the correct way to see for a few small minutes a day.



You can check this method based on a scientnfic researches : http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=413



if glasses are worn continuously over time the poor vision will generally become worse. Essentially what glasses do is lock the eyes into their refractive state and in order to see through your lenses you have to maintain the poor vision that the lenses are designed to correct.

"Restore my vision? program you'll be taken by the hand, it shows you how to improve your vision naturally, permanent and complete solution.

Even the American Optometric Association has been forced to admit these things!

And I'm sure that you will not regret your decision

Improving your vision by reversing the deterioration process is perhaps a remote possibility but it may well include a lot of wishful thinking. Probably a bit like trying to reverse the ageing process. You can certainly slow it down a bit but reversing it is still out of reach. If eye problems are due to some temporary defect such as eye strain then, of course, the defect can be overcome You can certainly slow down the sight deterioration process with a good diet that includes antioxidants. These can be found in fruits and vegies that are coloured a bright orange, yellow, red and purple and they include carrots, pumkin, oranges, melons, tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, bilberries, purple grapes, beetroot, red cabbage, etc. Health supplements from a health store may also help in this regard and one such product is called "Vision Defence Formula" and is based on bilberry and also contains lutein, beta carotene, Vitamin B2, zinc, Vitamin C and some other components. A Yahoo search for bilberry + eyesight may be of interest to you.

It is kind of common sense that it is primarily environmental. Note how few kids playing sports from a young age that require focusing on a small rapidly moving ball at varying distances while running such as lacrosse or hurling become myopic compared to their classmates who do not engage in such sports.

If there was any way of improving eyesight naturally then noone would wear glasses/contacts. There are all sorts of myths out thre. Don't waste time and money on them.



computer games have nothing to do with the problem. Bad eyesight is about the shape of your eye not beign ideal to focus light. As you grow it changes and typically eyesight gets worse. nothing to do with computer games. Would you expect vitamins etc to change the shape of your nose? Same thing with eyes. the only thing which using glasses less will do is leave you unable to see properly. All they do is help focus light.



if you don't like glasses modern contacts are wonderful. Look to spend your money on them.

You really need to watch Samantha Pearson's video at http://www.restoremyvisiontoday.info It tells you how you can 100% naturally and safely cure almost any visual problem and the real truth about the Eyecare industry...thing is.. your glasses and contact lenses are in fact making your eyes worse.



At first I didn't believe it but right now I don't need glasses anymore. I feel like something magic has happened to me, crazy!

By minimizing the amount of time your eyes need to spend performing accommodation (near-focusing). This doesn't mean avoiding close-range activities like reading or using a computer, but it may mean using a more appropriate lens in such situations (or none at all).



With your prescription when not wearing your glasses your focal range (the distance at which you can see things clearly) will have a limit of around 28cm (1 metre divided by the number of uncorrected negative diopters), meaning you can read & write fine without glasses. Using a computer would likely require negative lenses, but not ones that are at your full prescription. You would be forcing your eyes to perform unnecessary accommodation using those when on a computer, thereby encouraging your eyes to become more myopic.

[see: http://www.myopia.org/ebook/08chapter3.htm ]



You could benefit from wearing a reduced prescription for use on a computer. One that puts your focal limit at about the same distance as the screen to avoid the need for accommodation. Say the screen was 50cm away, a pair of glasses that under-correct by 2 diopters would put your focal limit at that distance. This doesn't have to be an expensive option, btw. There are some very cheap online glasses retailers. Check out zennioptical.com or goggles4u.com. I have bought glasses from both of those in the past and they were fine. I am actually using a reduced strength pair myself while typing this, that i got from Zenni.



When you say you have double vision, do mean an astigmatism, or do you mean your eyes turn in (or out)? If it's your eyes turning in, then I guess that 2nd pair of numbers are base-out prism diopters, in which case you should be able to do without any prism correction when your eyes converge at 50cm. So if you wanna go this route, I'd recommend you take 2 diopters off your prescription, i.e. 1.75, 1.25 (make sure you get them the right way round!), and skip any base-out prism. If it's any other kind of prism, you will need the prism. If you have an astigmatism (the thing that has an associated angle) then I suggest you take around 0.50/0.75 off that (the CYL #) too (but leave the angle unchanged!).



-------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a myriad of evidence out there that suggests that myopia is environment/behaviour-related and not merely genetic...

-The highest rates of myopia in the world are found in major Far-East cities like Singapore. This is thought to be because children there tend to be more studious and spend a lot of time indoors so they are rarely focusing into the distance and their eyes lack exposure to sunlight. -http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-17942181

-The lowest incidence of myopia in the western world is found in Australia where the kids play outside a lot.

-A study in Israel showed that children in strict religious schools where a lot of reading must be done have higher rates of myopia than those in the regular state schools.

-And myopia incidence amongst eskimo children hit 80% once they started going to school despite their parents/grandparents having very low rates of myopia.

-Myopia has been shown to progress further amongst law students at a time in their life when it generally levels off for the rest of us, again due to all the reading they have to do: http://www.aaojournal.org/article/S0161-6420(02)01012-6/abstract

-Also, scientists are able to induce myopia in young monkeys by forcing them to view the world through negative lenses: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7585177



@Britter: You are probably right about the prism being vertical, in which case it must be kept. I never said take off sphere to correct cylinder. I mean take about half a diopter off the cylinder as well to leave room for improvement. I am talking about a pair of glasses for computer use here, as I use myself. I still drive with a full prescription!



It's a combination of environment & genetics. The main cause is study. Staring at books a foot in front of your face (without reading glasses) does it, if you are genetically predisposed.

You are the one who is completely wrong about the monkey study. I quote: "Both positive and negative lenses produced compensating ocular growth that reduced the lens-induced refractive errors". That means negative lenses inducing myopia so that the monkeys see more clearly with them.

Here is another study where myopia was induced in tree shrews by fitting negative lenses to them: http://www.iovs.org/content/53/3/1593.full

Intermittant use of positive lenses reduced the rate of myopia progression.
