Sprouts, I just have read it in the internet i have not any experience. Here you have the link: http://www.doctoryourself.com/eyesight.html
It wouldn’t hurt to eat more sprouts, even if it doesn’t help. I like them. Thanks :)
you’re welcome! by the way, i have looking for something else, and seems that wheatgrass helps too
Thanks everyone. Anything helps at this point because every time I get an eye exaim, my eyes are worse. I have an astigmatism in my left eye and I’m so near sighted with out my contacts everyone’s a blurry shape. It’s actually getting hard to see with my contacts IN as well :/
Saw something about this. Try looking at a fence near too, then slowly move away, then slowly back and forward, for half an hour, each and every day. Sorry, got a little poetic there, worth trying tho. Laser surgery is the way i went ages ago, i was short sighted, one eye was treated, giving me long vision in that eye, the other eye was left alone, leaving nearsight, it worked perfectly for years, did’nt need spec’s, but now my nearsight has faded and needs laser treatment too, afterwards i will have to wear spec’s to read.
I wouldn’t want to get laser surgery if I would still need glasses. I’ll try some eye exercises and eat lots of sprouts lol
Sprouts? Really? Cause I’ve been juicing LOTS of carrots, and I think it’s helping a little, but it’s taking too long for me. :/ I’ll check out that yoga for eyes thing, thanks! :D
Good thread :) Does anyone have more info on wheatgrass benefits for the eyes? My eyes have grown rapidly worse over the past few years :(
I would like to know that too. Wheatgrass does have a lot of benefits…
The part of your eyes responsible for focusing/nearsightness/farsightedness/astigmatism is not a muscle. It’s actually the lens changing shape by way of zonules (strings) and the axial length of your eyeball. Astigmatism is actually a fairly good genetic variation, b/c it will give you some vision in all distances even when you are past 40 and need reading glasses.
Your best bet for improving your vision if you are nearsighted is probably the excercise given by badnews above – you might try focusing in the distance as far away as you can and then trying to move out from there.
If you are doing a lot of near work, then take breaks and look far away so that your focusing system doesn’t get stuck at that near distance and increase your nearsightedness.
As far as astigmatism goes, I don’t know how you’d improve that – farsighted people might try to do more near stuff and not take the breaks when they are working at near…
It’s my profession and I don’t really have any scientific or even anecdotal evidence for either working, but I see people getting worse all the time. I’ve tried myself to reduce my prescription, to no avail.
Being healthy is a good first step though. I’ve seen things like glaucoma get under control with dietary changes and exercise.
What a coincidence! I was just wondering this morning, am I hallucinating or is my vision sharper? I guess it might be.
I really haven’t been raw for long at all. I think I found out about it a week ago, and have since then added more raw foods into my diet.
Since the beginning of the month I have taken vitamin and flavonoid supplements though, to help with my pollen allergy, so those could have something to do with it as well…
I’m still not sure if I believe my eyes.
