America Is Going BlindNational Eye Institute – Nearsightedness in the United States Has Nearly Doubled

A recent study by the National Eye Institute confirms the alarming fact that the rate of nearsightedness in the United States has nearly doubled in the last thirty years.

This alarming rise is not confined to just the United States. Other countries are finding the same thing happening to their citizens.

The dramatic increase in nearsightedness is calling into question the theories that eye doctors have relied on in the past to explain this problem.

They used to think that vision problems were genetic.

But even the current theory that nearsightedness is caused by too much close work doesn’t adequately explain the problem.

The fact is that the cause, or causes, of nearsightedness still remain a mystery.

And, as usual, the mainstream media is focused on the problem, not the solution.

That’s why it’s more important than ever to take the health and clarity of your sight into your own hands.

Your eyes need exercise and relaxation to function properly, just like the rest of your body.

And, just like the rest of your body, the eyes need the right kind of nutritional support for optimal health.

Thousands upon thousands of people have already discovered how well their eyes respond to proper care and attention.

The cause of nearsightedness may be a mystery, but the solutions to maintaining and regaining better vision are not.

All the best in sight,

1 Of 4 Vision Tips To See Better – Astigmatism

1. People always ask me what they can do for astigmatism.
http://www.experts-at.com/Better-Vision/For-You.htm

Here’s one thing I recommend: (From The Better Vision Program)

When doing Eye Stretches (from Vision Chart Techniques in The Program for Better Vision) hold your head turned in each of these four different positions:
To the right, left, up and down. When you find the head position in which it is the most difficult to do the Eye Stretches comfortably – that’s the position to practice most. It’ll work out the muscular imbalances that contribute to astigmatism.

Practice often throughout the day, only 10 – 12 stretches each time, first clockwise and then counter-clockwise.

(Not sure if you have astigmatism? Answer questions 7 & 8 from the vision test on the site.)

Can you tell me more about the Cambridge Institute for Better Vision and it’s approach to eye care?

Our approach is based on one simple idea: It is possible for eyesight to improve. Deteriorating vision is not inevitable and you can do something good for eyes. Our philosophy is holistic: The functioning of the eyes is influenced not only by the mechanical aspects of vision, but also by the body, mind and emotions

The Cambridge Institute for Better Vision was founded in 1976 by Martin Sussman, an alternative vision expert. He developed the EYECLASSES Vision Seminar and refined his methods by observing what was effective for the thousands of participants who attended. He then authored numerous audio programs and books which distill the essence of the seminar into home study systems now in use by more than 250,000 people around the world.

The Program for Better Vision, created by Martin Sussman, is the world’s #1 best selling audio system to prevent, reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts. For more information about The Program for Better Vision, click here

The Cambridge Institute for Better Vision makes Mr. Sussman’s work available to the public. In addition, the Cambridge Institute also offers other products created by others that Mr. Sussman endorses. Click here to see all of these items.

Mr. Sussman continues to develop new products for better vision, and offers speaking engagements, seminars and classes in North America and Europe. He is also available for email and phone consultations.

The Cambridge Institute for Better Vision strives to offer the most effective, practical and easy to use ideas, techniques and information that we can find.

How Can I Eliminate Glare from the Computer Screen?

Cambridge Institute for Better Vision
THE WORLD’S LEADER IN NATURAL EYE CARE

Glare is any light or image reflected off the computer screen that reaches your eyes, cannot be ignored, and competes for visual attention.

Glare silently forces you – consciously or unconsciously – to twist and turn your head and body to avoid it. Glare also makes your eyes work harder to focus on the information on the screen (which leads to eyestrain, strains of the neck, back, shoulders and arms).

Sources of glare may be the lights in the room, the light fixtures themselves, unshaded windows, or even bright objects such as your own clothing.

Another form of glare is light that originates from the computer screen itself. This can occur when the brightness control is set or turned up too high and you are viewing dark letters against a bright background.

You can tell there’s reflected glare by turning on all the lights in the room before you turn on your computer. If you see any images or reflections on the (turned-off) screen, you’ll know that you’ve got a glare problem.

To reduce or minimize glare, you can experiment by:
- Tilting the screen
- Turning off or lowering offending lights
- Turning your computer so the screen is perpendicular to overhead fluorescents
- Covering fluorescent lights with egg-crate baffles
- Covering windows to block light
- Moving objects that reflect onto the screen

This may do it. However, since most offices weren’t built or designed for computer work, it may be impossible to eliminate glare altogether, so you might consider an anti-glare screen or filter.

Tinted glasses

Many offices are over-illuminated and often the overhead lights cannot be turned off. If you cannot control the ambient lighting, it’s worth discussing with an optometrist whether or not you should use tinted glasses.

Maximize Your Focusing Distance – What A Great Idea

Learn practical tips and information to care for
and improve your vision, the latest news, and
exercises that you can use to sharpen your sight, and more.

Being able to look up into the distance is the most important way that you can rest your eyes doing computer work.

Ideally, you want to set up your computer so that you can look “beyond the screen” to the farthest object in the room, something that is at least 10-feet away.

If possible, you don’t want to be in a corner, or face a wall or a window. (Window light is another source of unwanted stress.) Instead, if possible, try facing a doorway so that your distance view is down the hall.

But – if your computer is in a corner, or if you work in a small space, simply place a small mirror on top of your monitor or on your desk. You can effectively use this mirror to give your eyes a distant view by looking through it and focusing on objects that you see behind you. Doing this will rest your eyes. (Rest also helps prevent the accumulation of visual stress.)

It’s best for your eyes to look into the distance at least once every 3 to 5 minutes. More often is okay, too. The look into the distance only needs to last for a few seconds to be restful to your eyes.

I am doing this myself, and it has even helped me focus for night driving.  And, the mirror gives me a glimpse into the world as I work.  I love it.
