Eye Exercises to Improve Vision Fix Your Eyesight Naturally
A recent study showed that the most common reasons for bad eyesight are incurred naturally and can be cured naturally. In light of this, the obvious question is why do so many people jump straight onto glasses without even trying to improve their vision through eye exercises?
I genuinely believe that people are just simply unaware just how their eyes work and how quickly it can respond to a little bit of exercise. The muscles that control and shape the lens in the eye can be worked just like the bicep muscles in your arms and lit of bit of daily exercise for a couple of weeks has been shown to completely fix over 45% of eye problems with a further 30% showing "drastic improvement".
Given that glasses teach your eyes bad habits, commonly cause a steady deterioration in eyesight and cost on average $500 a year then it is clear that spending a short amount of time running through some eye exercises could literally be the best decision you ever made for your eyesight.
For those of you who have already been dependent on glasses for a number of years, then I have something encouraging to say to you too. Your eyes are so versatile that you can reverse the effects that your glasses have had on your vision. In fact some people can completely cure their vision problems within the first month of proper eye training. The exercises can even work on eyesight problems that have been caused by ageing.
Here's a few important bits of information for you in your quest to improve your eyesight naturally:
Teaching your eyes to Relax
As simple as it may sound, simply teaching your eyes to relax can have a major impact on your vision. Your eyes are extremely sensitive to strain especially with our modern common lifestyle of working in front of computers, watching the television and reading books. Eye strain can even occur without you noticing it - most of the time there are no symptoms in terms of feeling, you just start to notice a deterioration in your vision.
One exercise that I always recommend to someone who is suffering for eye strain is called palming. It's a very simple, easy exercise with a great success rate. When this exercise is performed consistently for a few weeks the results are often very encouraging.
Here's what you do:
Put your hands out in front of you with your palms facing in the eye. Then bring your palms up to cover your arms making sure that the hands are cupped so that they don't actually make contact with your eyes. Put your elbows on your desk or another hard surface and try to make yourself comfortable. Now you simply spend as long as you need to generate relaxing and positive thoughts. You should try and concentrate on relaxing all the muscles in your eye - this will be hard to begin with but after a while you get used to it.
Palming is especially recommended for those who work in front of a computer for extended periods of time or who find themselves straining to focus on objects.
Specific Eye Exercises
There are a large number of eye exercises out there for specific conditions. For example, there are many exercises that focus purely on myopia (short sightedness) and teach the eye to adjust to objects that are far away.
William Bates is the pioneer for these exercises - his work and understanding of natural vision was way ahead of his time. He has been dead over 7 decades now yet his work is still at the foundation of most eye exercise programs and for great reason too - it works.
Vision Without Glasses
Hopefully you've found this article useful in your quest to improve your vision naturally. Just by researching the exercises you are already ahead of the majority but now you should take action. It is easy to be a skeptic (I certainly was) but you have nothing to lose and everything to win by simply taking a leap of faith and trying the exercises for a few weeks. If you're serious about exercising your eyes then I always recommend Vision Without Glasses. It is a modern day equivalent of Bates' original methods and is widely commended for having a high success rate. As part of the package, you also receive William Bates' work too which is over 300 pages of in depth material.
