2 Of 4 Vision Tips To See Better

Using the Read Without Glasses Method? Try this:

Hold the chart at arm’s length and focus on your finger 2 – 4 inches iin front of your eyes. Try to get 3 dots on the third row of the chart (the row with the two large dots). You’ll have to experiment with moving your finger closer or farther from your eyes and you might have to move the chart also. When you can get 3 dots on this row, you should see 7 columns with the center dot and the center column popping in closer to you in 3D. Converging in this way will increase the power of the method to improve your close up vision.

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.)

How Can I Eliminate Glare from the Computer Screen?

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.

Can I use The Program for Better Vision if…I’m Nearsighted or Farsighted?

Many people do not believe that it is possible to improve you vision…and it is because of not understanding the underlying facts.

There are five commonly held beliefs that lead people to think that eyesight cannot be improved. That’s why they are called myths – they’re not truthful, and they don’t accurately represent what’s going on in your eyes.

Better Vision can help you dispel these myths, and show you how you can really obtain better vision.
