 Steps  to  Naturally  Better  Vision!  


Imagine  what  your  life  would  be  
like  if  you’ve  lost  your  eyesight.  It  is  
quite  likely  that  not  only  won’t  you  
be  able  to  picture  such  a  scenario,  
but  you  will  become  terrified  with  
the  sole  thought  of  it.  
 
Surprisingly,  many  surveys  found  
that  the  fear  of  blindness  is  the  
strongest  of  all  health  related  fears  a  person  might  have.  For  instance,  recent  study  
illustrated  that  twice  as  many  people  are  afraid  of  loosing  their  eyesight  as  are  afraid  of  
death  or  cardiovascular  problems.*  
 
Although  people  are  so  fearful  of  loosing  nature’s  most  precious  gift  –  vision,  only  some  do  
something  to  protect,  preserve  or  improve  their  eyesight.  Moreover,  the  majority  of  the  
people  with  vision  disorders  settle  with  the  thought  that  they  have  poor  vision  and  there  is  
nothing  they  can  do  to  reverse  that.    
 
Many  factors  contribute  to  such  a  passive  behavior  –  insufficient  knowledge  about  vision,  
lack  of  understanding  of  the  causes  and  risk  factors  of  the  most  common  eyesight  disorders,  
underestimating  the  importance  of  certain  lifestyle  habits,  including  dietary  habits  and  food  
preferences,  misjudgment  of  the  most  popular  vision  facts  and  fiction,  insufficient  physical  
and  eye  exercising,  these  all  influence  eye  health  and  visual  acuity.    
 
Regardless  of  the  precise  reason  why  a  person  fails  to  take  proper  care  of  their  eyes,  the  
reality  is  that  many  vision  problems  are  reversible  and  this  is  the  exact  reason  why  I’ve  
decided  to  compile  this  guide.    It  will  cover  some  of  the  most  important  topics  about  eye  
health  and  eyesight  improvement.

Improving  Eyesight:  Facts  vs.  Fiction  


 
While  hereditary  and  environmental  factors  may  lead  to  the  
deterioration  of  your  eye's  health  and  cause  eyesight  problems  so  do  
unhealthy  habits,  poor  diet  and  lack  of  medical  checkups.  Clearly,  a  
person  cannot  be  aware  of  everything  that  is  good  (or  bad)  for  their  
eyesight  but  knowing  the  main  myths  and  facts  about  vision  is  
imperative.    
 
Let’s  take  a  quick  look  at  some  of  the  most  widespread  vision  facts  and  fiction.  
 
Fiction:  Absolutely  every  eyesight  disorder  can  be  cured  with  eye  exercises  and  relaxation.  
 
Fact:  Eye  exercises  and  eye  relaxation  are  very  important  for  general  eye  health.  Some  vision  
work-­‐outs  are  aimed  at  preventing  (or  slowing  down  the  progression)  of  some  eyesight  
disorders,  while  others  are  specifically  targeted  at  natural  vision  correction.  Many  eyesight  
disorders  can  be  helped  and  even  completely  cured  just  by  practicing  eye  exercises  and  
relaxation;  many  people  not  only  restore  their  20/20  visual  acuity  but  gain  better  vision  than  
that.

Simple  Steps  to  Naturally  Better  Vision!  
However,  certain  eye  diseases  cannot  be  influenced  by  eye  exercises.  Generally,  these  are  
eye  diseases  (glaucoma,  age  related  macular  degeneration,  etc.)  that  involve  permanent  cell  
and  tissue  damage  or  cell  and  tissue  death.  
 
Fiction:  Crossing  your  eyes  will  make  them  stay  that  way.  
 
Fact:  The  myth  that  if  you  cross  your  eyes,  they  will  remain  crossed  forever  is  probably  
devised  by  parents  looking  for  a  scary  story  that  will  make  their  kids  forget  about  this  habit.    
 
In  fact,  if  you  cross  your  eyes  they  will  not  stay  that  way.  Moreover,  some  eye  workouts  and  
relaxation  techniques  actually  ask  people  to  cross  their  eyes  in  order  to  train  their  eye  
muscles  and  thus  to  improve  vision  naturally.  However,  if  you  notice  that  your  kid  is  crossing  
their  eyes  often,  you  need  to  seek  medical  attention,  as  crossed-­‐eyes  are  a  sign  of  poor  
vision  in  children.  
 
Fiction:  If  your  parents  have  poor  vision,  you  will  have  poor  vision  too.  
 
Fact:  Unfortunately,  this  is  not  really  a  myth  but  reality.  All  refractive  errors  (myopia,  
hyperopia  and  astigmatism)  are  hereditary.  Some  eye  diseases  that  lead  to  severe  vision  
impairment  and  blindness  are  also  genetic  –  glaucoma,  macular  degeneration,  cataracts.    
 
The  good  news  is  that  there  are  many  things  you  can  do  to  delay  the  onset  and  even  to  
completely  prevent  some  of  the  most  common  eyesight  disorders.  For  example,  
nearsightedness  is  hereditary  but  scientists  have  found  that  some  environmental  and  
lifestyle  factors  are  among  the  top  risk  factors  of  the  condition  and  lead  to  its  onset  even  in  
people  without  family  history  of  myopia.  I  strongly  recommend  you  to  read  the  chapter  
Causes  of  Poor  Vision:  Facts  and  Fiction  (p.  10)  of  my  book  Improve  Your  Vision  Naturally  
(you  can  get  it  at  http://naturallyimproveeyesight.com/main/)  where  I  give  further  details  of  
the  top  risk  factors  and  causes  of  poor  eyesight  and  eye  health  problems.  Additionally,  you  
can  self-­‐test  your  vision  with  our  useful  tools,  just  check  out  the  chapters  dedicated  to  
glaucoma  and  macular  degeneration.

Simple  Steps  to  Naturally  Better  Vision!  
Fiction:  Wearing  glasses  will  damage  your  vision  further.  
 
Fact:  The  myth  that  wearing  prescription  eyeglasses  is  bad  for  your  eyes,  and  especially  
detrimental  if  you  are  trying  to  improve  your  vision  naturally,  is  totally  wrong.  Moreover,  
eyeglasses  are  not  impeding  natural  eyesight  improvement,  but  helping  it.  What  is  important  
is  always  to  wear  the  correct  eyeglasses  prescription.    
 
If  you  are  eager  to  learn  why  wearing  glasses  is  important  for  your  eye  health  and  eyesight  
and  how  you  can  increase  the  benefits  of  wearing  glasses,  check  out  How  to  Increase  the  
Benefits  of  Wearing  Glasses  in  a  Natural  Way,  a  special  chapter  in  my  book  (p.  16)  Improve  
Your  Vision  Naturally.  
 
Fiction:  Computer  use  is  harmful  for  eye  health  and  vision  acuity.  
 
Fact:  According  to  AAO,  computer  use  cannot  directly  damage  your  eyes.  But  frequent  and  
extended  staring  at  a  computer  screen  poses  other  threats  for  your  eyes.  For  instance,  long  
hours  of  close  eye  work  are  among  the  risk  factors  of  nearsightedness.    
 
If  your  work  involves  long  hours  of  computer  use,  I  strongly  recommend  you  to  read  my  
article  How  to  Save  Your  Eyesight  at  the  Computer  (p.  140,  Improve  Your  Vision  Naturally).  
In  the  same  chapter  you  will  find  more  helpful  tips  on  how  to  preserve  your  vision  at  the  
work  place,  including  several  beneficial  eye  exercises  that  prevent  and  relieve  the  symptoms  
of  computer  vision  syndrome.    

How  Eyes  Work?  


 
Before  we  move  on  to  concrete  methods  for  natural  eyesight  correction,  it  is  important  that  
you  understand  how  your  eyes  work.  Do  not  worry  –  you  do  not  need  to  gain  thorough  
knowledge  about  eye  anatomy  or  eye  physiology.  What  you  need  to  do  is  to  learn  which  the  
main  structures  of  the  eye  are  and  how  are  they  responsible  for  good  vision.

Simple  Steps  to  Naturally  Better  Vision!  
First,  take  a  good  look  at  the  picture  
on  the  left.  It  represents  a  simplified  
schematic  diagram  of  the  structure  
of  the  human  eye.    
 
The  human  eye  consists  of  three  
basic  layers:    
 
• Cornea  (the  outermost  
transparent  layer)  and  sclera  
(the  white  of  the  eye).  
• Choroids,  ciliary  body  and  iris  
(the  middle  layer).  
• Retina  (the  innermost  layer).  
 
The  crystalline  lens  and  a  clear  fluid  called  vitreous  humour  are  situated  inside  these  layers.  
 
All  of  the  above  mentioned  structures  are  involved  in  the  actual  process  of  seeing:  the  light  
enters  the  eye  through  the  cornea,  passes  through  the  pupil  and  through  the  lens  and  
focuses  on  the  retina;  from  there  it  is  sent,  through  the  optic  nerve,  to  the  vision  center  of  
the  brain.  You  can  learn  more  about  the  structure  of  the  eye  and  the  way  it  functions  from  
chapter  "How  Your  Eyes  Work?"  (p.  14,  Improve  Your  Vision  Naturally).    
 
As  you  can  see,  the  actual  process  of  “seeing”  involves  nearly  all  eye  structures  and  thus  
their  integrity  determines  visual  acuity.  In  other  words,  anatomical  and/or  physiological  
disorders  even  in  just  one  eye  structure  may  lead  to  poor  vision.    

Refractive  errors  (nearsightedness,  farsightedness  and  astigmatism)  may  be  caused  by  
irregularities  in  one  or  more  of  the  eye  structures  -­‐  irregularly  shaped  cornea  (too  steep  or  
too  flat),  irregularly  shaped  crystalline  lens  of  the  eye,  if  the  eye  is  too  long  or  too  short.  
Poor  vision  may  be  caused  by  physiological  disorders  affecting  the  crystalline  lens  of  the  eye  
or  the  retina.

Simple  Steps  to  Naturally  Better  Vision!  
Although  poor  vision  may  be  caused  by  anatomical  disorders,  a  growing  body  of  research  
suggests  that  some  anatomical  irregularities  actually  occur  later  in  life  and  are  caused  by  
specific  lifestyle  habits.  For  example,  some  scientists  believe  that  increased  vision  stress  and  
close-­‐up  eye  work  may  cause  nearsightedness  and/or  astigmatism.  Certain  dietary  and  
lifestyle  habits  also  lead  to  eye  health  problems  and  disruption  of  normal  eye  function.    

Eyesight  Boosting  Diet  Secrets  


Surely,  you  are  aware  that  the  food  you  eat  can  influence  your  eye  health  and  may  be  
directly  responsible  for  the  onset  (or  prevention)  of  many  eyesight  problems.  Now,  let’s  
discuss  the  role  of  nutrition  in  specific  eyesight  problems  –  how  to  prevent,  preserve  and  
improve  eyesight  naturally  through  a  healthier  diet.  I  will  focus  on  nearsightedness,  aging  
vision  (presbyopia),  cataracts  and  macular  degeneration  and  how  you  can  help  these  
conditions  through  nutrition.    

Nearsightedness  (myopia)  

Nearsightedness  (myopia)  is  one  of  the  most  prevalent  


Natural Dietary Sources and
refractive  errors.  It  may  be  caused  by  hereditary  or   Daily Value (%)

that  are  good  dietary  sources  of  selenium,  chromium  and  zinc.  Of  course,  all  other  vision  
macro-­‐  and  micro-­‐nutrients  (Vitamin  A,  C,  D  and  E,  omega-­‐3  fatty  acids)  must  also  present  in  
adequate  quantities  in  their  nutrition  plan.  

Aging  Vision  (Presbyopia)  

(c)  Copyright  2011  –  http://naturallyimproveeyesight.com/main/     6  


Simple  Steps  to  Naturally  Better  Vision!  
Presbyopia,  commonly  called  aging  vision,  is  an  age-­‐related  eyesight  disorder.  Unlike  other  
refractive  errors  and  eye  diseases,  it  is  caused  by  the  natural  aging  processes  taking  place  in  
the  eye  cells  and  tissues.  Obviously,  there  is  nothing  you  can  do  to  completely  forestall  
aging.  But  you  can  significantly  slow  it  down  and  thus  postpone  vision  loss  due  to  
presbyopia.    
Natural Dietary Sources and
Daily Value (DV%)
A  study  reported  that  increasing  the  amount  of  lutein   Vitamin E, Lutein &
in  the  diet  resulted  in  an  improvement  in  visual   Zeaxanthin

acuity  (Olmedilla  et  al.  2003),  while  another  study   Vitamin E Serving DV

suggested  that  lutein  supplementation  might  slow   (raw)

study  suggested  that  Vitamin  E,  which  has  very   Lutein & Serving mg

Kale 1 cup 23,8
those  with  presbyopia  improve  their  near  vision.     Spinach 1 cup 20,4
Collards 1 cup 14,6

So,  a  good  presbyopia  diet  should  include  foods  rich  in  vitamin  E  and  lutein  (an  essential  
nutrient  primarily  found  in  leafy  green  vegetables).  You  should  include  foods  rich  in  vitamin  
C  and  vitamin  A  to  your  diet  too  because  these  vitamins  are  antioxidants.  

Cataract  &  Macular  Degeneration  

Both  cataract  and  macular  degeneration  are  age-­‐

degeneration  and  may  significantly  slow  down  their   Spinach 1 cup 377,3

Studies  reported  that  higher  dietary  intake  of  lutein  and  zeaxanthin  and  vitamin  E  can  
significantly  decrease  the  risk  of  cataract  formation.  The  Age-­‐Related  Eye  Disease  Study  

(c)  Copyright  2011  –  http://naturallyimproveeyesight.com/main/     7  


Simple  Steps  to  Naturally  Better  Vision!  
(AREDS)  determined  that  taking  high  levels  of  antioxidants  and  zinc  can  reduce  the  risk  of  
developing  advanced  age-­‐related  macular  degeneration  by  25%.  The  essential  nutrients  used  
in  the  study  are  vitamin  C,  vitamin  E,  vitamin  A  and  zinc.    

To  find  more  nutritional  answers  to  the  most  common  eyesight  disorders,  take  a  look  at  the  
chapter  Common  Eyesight  Disorders  (p.  155,  Improve  Your  Vision  Naturally)  

Great  Eye  Exercise  for  Improving  Vision  


 
Eye  exercises  and  vision  relaxation  are  of  utmost  importance  for  preserving,  protecting  and  
improving  eyesight  naturally.  Generally,  eye  exercises  are  aimed  at  improving  eye  muscle  
strength  and  flexibility  and  thus  enhancing  the  focusing  abilities  of  the  eyes.  Depending  on  
the  eye  muscles  that  are  exercised  and  the  way  they  are  exercised,  an  eye  work-­‐out  may  be  
suitable  for  helping  different  eyesight  problems.  
 
There  are  also  eye  exercises  and  relaxation  techniques  beneficial  for  general  eye  health  and  
prevention.  The  following  eye  exercise,  Figure  Eights  is  one  such  exercise.  It  is  great  for  
building  eye  muscle  strength  and  flexibility.  Here  is  how  to  perform  it:  

1.  Sit  on  a  char  three  steps  (10  feet)  from  a  wall.  

2.  Picture  a  big  figure  eight,  flipped  horizontally  on  the  wall.  

3.  Start  tracing  the  outlines  of  the  figure  with  your  eyes.  
You  can  start  from  the  middle  and  go  left  to  right  or  vice  
versa.  Do  to  it  slowly  and  do  not  move  your  head,  just  your  
eyes.  

4.  Once  you  trace  the  figure  in  one  direction,  relax  your  eyes  for  a  minute  and  trace  it  in  the  
opposite  direction.    

5.  Do  the  exercise  4  times.  If  you  feel  tired  of  the  full  number  of  repetitions  initially,  do  not  
push  yourself.  Start  with  one  repetition  and  gradually  increase  their  number  until  you  feel  
comfortable  doing  all  four  repetitions.

Simple  Steps  to  Naturally  Better  Vision!  
If  you  suffer  from  nearsightedness,  farsightedness  or  astigmatism  you  can  improve  vision  
naturally  by  doing  specific  routines  of  vision  exercises  and  eye  relaxation.    

The  Importance  of  Nutrition  and  Exercise  Together  


 
So  far  we’ve  been  discussing  how  nutrition  can  influence  your  eye  health  
and  that  visual  acuity  can  be  improves  with  some  special  eye  exercises  
and  relaxation.  Now,  I  would  like  to  turn  your  attention  to  the  role  
nutrition  and  exercises  have  together.  

As  anything  else,  your  eyes  are  connected  and  even  reliable  on  all  other  
body  systems.  Thus,  any  process  taking  place  in  the  body  may  affect  eye  
health  and  eyesight.  Moreover,  your  visual  system  is  one  of  the  most  demanding  systems.  It  
needs  nearly  a  quarter  of  all  nutrients  your  body  absorbs  and  1/3  of  all  oxygen.    

Due  to  the  high  requirements  and  sensitivity  of  the  vision  system  even  slight  disturbances  in  
nutrition  may  cause  serious  eyesight  problems.  For  instance,  if  you  decrease  your  
consumption  of  foods  rich  in  Vitamin  C,  your  body  will  take  the  vitamin  amounts  it  needs  
from  the  eyes  and  thus  will  put  eye  health  in  danger.  The  biggest  problem  is  that,  in  many  
cases,  a  person  cannot  notice  any  symptoms  until  significant  vision  damage  occurs.  

Eye  exercising  is  vital  for  eye  health  for  the  same  reasons  physical  activity  is  vital  for  general  
health  and  wellbeing  –  it  keeps  the  eyes  young,  in  shape  and  releases  vision  stress.    

We  can  easily  conclude  that  proper  nutrition  and  exercises  are  the  two  main  components  of  
any  natural  vision  correction  program  –  a  healthy  vision  diet  provides  the  eyes  with  all  the  
nutrients  they  need  to  regenerate  and  function  correctly  and  eye  exercises  improve  the  
blood  supply  to  the  eyes  and  keep  them  fit.      

Only  by  combining  a  healthy  vision  diet  with  adequate  vision  exercise  and  relaxation  
routines  (you  can  choose  one  of  our  detailed  step-­‐by-­‐step  vision  exercise  routines  for  
nearsightedness,  farsightedness,  aging  vision  and  computer  vision  syndrome  in  Vision  
Exercise  and  Relaxation  Routines  chapter,  p.  74,  Improve  Your  Vision  Naturally)  you  will  be  
able  to  prevent,  protect  and  improve  eyesight  naturally.
