It was previously thought (never proven) that visual problems most often result from irreversible changes in the jelly lens of the eye. More resent studies however, demonstrate that other factors such as the functioning of the eye muscles and the dynamic shape of the eyeball are more important in determining visual function. These factors are all modifyable, which means that you really CAN improve your eyesight naturally. You may hence be asking why on earth the vast, vast majority of people just go ahead and wear glasses without even sparing a thought to natural eyesight improvement using eye exercises?

I think it is quite easily the optometric and medical professions to blame for not educating people on the benefits of eye exercises to enhance vision. Eye exercises do a great job at increasing vision to and beyond 20/20. This is now being confirmed in scientific studies, and has been known for many decades by alternative practitioners. Just as the late Dr Bates - the pioneer of natural vision improvement - believed, more and more natural visual enhancement therapists are confirming that the vast majority (over three quaters) of people with visual disturbances can be cured either fully or in part, using natural techniques.

Knowing that corrective lenses do nothing to actually IMPROVE your natural ability to see, and need to be replaced regularly thereby mounting up on costs it is apparent that one would greatly benefit from changing their visual habits and doing some simple eye exercises to improve their eyesight naturally so they eventually no longer NEED glasses.

If you have been accustomed to wearing eyeglasses for a while now, then you’ll be very interested in what I have to say. Your eyes are so versatile that you can reverse the effects that your glasses have had on your vision. In actual fact, if you get started today, you can quite easily see improvements in your visual acuity in just a few short weeks. The exercises can even work on eyesight problems that have been caused by ageing.

Learning how to make your eyes ‘loosen up’

As simple as it may sound, simply teaching your eyes to relax can have a major impact on your vision. Eye strain very quickly results in a loss of synchrony between different eye movements required in good vision. The muscles in your eyes are different to those in other parts of your body. When your eye muscles become strained, you don’t usually notice it as a pain in or around your eyes, you simply experience it with poor vision.

Palming is one relxation technique that is highly recommended by most visual enhancement practitioners. Despite being an incredibly simple technique, palming is easily one of the most effective exercises for improving visual acuity over time. There are those who see results immediately, but in most cases it is the more long-term benefits that make palming so effective.

Here are some step-by-step instructions:

With your arms raised in front of you, face your hands toward your face. Close your eyes and bring your hands over them. Cup your hands so that they do not push on the eyes. The idea is to block out the light as much as possible, so it would help for you to either turn off the lights in the room completely before you do the exercise, or at least dim the lights. Now you simply spend as long as you need to generate relaxing and positive thoughts. As you practise this more and more you’ll notice the improvement in your vision as your eyes learn to relax throughout the entire day, even when you are not doing the exercise.
