How To Improve Eyesight – The Short Guide

Photo by Hamed Saber

How to improve eyesight is one of the most common questions I get when I tell people about my success story. The answer is a long one and I know it can be overwhelming in the beginning on the journey,

That is why I’ve created this blog. To compile the information I’ve found out and to share the experience I’ve had. But since I’ve started this blog, I’ve got a few requests from readers.

I normally post one idea at a time so as to be as concise as possible. The requests wanted me to post an all inclusive guide to how to improve eyesight. I’m afraid I can’t go into great detail because that will require a while book to do.

So what I’m going to do instead, is to write a short guide instead. This way, you can get the information right away and act upon immediately. No consuming pages and pages of information you don’t really need.

Here goes.

1. It’s vital that you drastically reduce the amount of time you use your glasses. It’s not a choice.

If you’re myopic, then you shouldn’t wear glasses when you’re doing near point activities such as reading and writing. The same goes if you are far-sighted.

Glasses are crutches. If you keep wearing them, you’ll not improve your eyesight. In fact, your eyesight will deteriorate. You would already know this if you’ve been wearing glasses for a few years.

2. You have to realize that stress is not only bad for you as a whole, it’s also bad for your eyes specifically.

The best way to relax that I’m aware of is none other than meditation. Some people do yoga but I’m not into that. A simple meditation, one where you sit down in a comfortable position, shut your eyes and focus your thoughts on your breath is good enough.

When you finish a 10 – 15 minutes session, you’ll find that not only are you relaxed, your eyes are also fresh.

3. If you want to improve eyesight, you’ll need to give it nutrients necessary for improvement. Makes sense right? But contrary to what you may have heard, the most important nutrient for your eyes is… the sunlight!

That’s right. Your sunglasses might be doing more harm than good. If you spend hours upon hours out under the sun (like a lifeguard), sure you might need sunglasses. But if you stay indoors all the time (like most of us), then you might be suffering from sunlight deprivation.

That little time you are exposed to sunlight you try to block it by using sunglasses.

Here’s a newsflash: Moderate exposure (20 – 30 minutes a day) to sunlight is vital to not only to your eyes, it’s also vital for overall health.

4. Don’t stare or do any kind of “trick” vision like squinting. These practices strains the eyes like you would if you keep it opened when it’s tired.

There you go. A short guide on how to improve eyesight naturally. I hope they help you. remember, these habits alone are not enough to improve eyesight. They have to be done is addition to eye exercises.

P.S If you want to delve deeper into the details and discover more tips and tricks there’s two places you can go. You can either go to my Squidoo lens on how you can rebuild your vision, or you can brwose more posts here in Rebuild Your Vision Naturally blog.

    Hi,
    Could you please, tell, how it helped you and what problems you had with your eyes?
    Some people say this program is a scam, but I’d like to know exactly before I try.
    Thank you

    Hi Valery,
    There is a debate on whether it’s possible to naturally improve eyesight. People on the more conventional side tend to disagree. All I can say is that it works out for me. Plus, most people who say this program is a scam have never tried it or never implemented it long enough.

    I used to have myopia – about 20/400 until I used this program to improve it and now I my eyesight is 20/30.

    I’m extremely myopic so when using my computer I have to use my glasses, if I take them off I have to get about six inches away from the screen to see, my question is; is sitting that close to the screen without glasses prefferable to sitting 18 inches away with glasses?

    When you said to give your eyes sunlight, what do you mean? Do you want me to look straight at the sun? And when you said don’t use your glasses when doing near pointed activities such as reading and writing, is it okay if i get really close to the computer because usually people say to not get close to the computer screen and I can’t see if I am far way.
