There are 3 principles to natural vision improvement that Dr Bates discovered decades ago. If you want to naturally improve your vision, I think it’s crucial that you understand them. There are numerous eye exercises that you can do but it’s inevitable that sometimes you might interpret them wrongly. Understanding the principles behind them, I believe, would prevent this and hopefully, propel you forward instead of holding you back in your efforts to improve your vision.


The three principles are:


1. Movement. Here’s a little experiment that you can do. Look for people you know who have perfect vision. Would you say they are “active”, “squirmy” or “just couldn’t stay still”? They most probably are. Perfect vision requires movement because rigidity causes fatigue while movement promotes circulation!


2. Centralization. Have you ever tried to see everything at once? Back when I was in high school, I used to force myself to see everything in my surrounding since I thought that would give me an advantage in noticing someone is coming for the ball. My eyesight quickly deteriorated because diffusion causes strain and is unnatural. Our eyes are built for centralization, meaning we see only one small space at a time. Bates once said if you look at a chair, you should be seeing its back-rest, its legs and every other parts separately.


3. Relaxation. We have been educated to think that effort is always a good thing. So in out quest for perfect vision, we often place lots of effort into seeing something we cannot see – and therefore causing us to squint. Sight should be just like any other senses, they do not need effort on our part. If we tried to intervene, it will deteriorate rapidly. So try to relax and let your natural vision system to work. That’s what eye exercises allows you to do – take on a new habit to relax your eyes – and thus rebuild your vision.

In my previous post, I talked about the  link between our mind and our eyes. What you see goes into your brain (mind) and you think is really also what you see.

Now, there’s a way to make use of this link to your advantage. Many alternative eyesight improvement teachers teaches their students to palm and imagine an image that you like – or something that relaxes you. For example, a sunny beach or perhaps your baby.

Anything will do so as long as it makes you happy.

Did you know that your iris enlarge when you see someone or something attractive? And that they shrink when you see someone or something unattrative?

I know, it sounds cruel but the fact is, your body literally wanted to see less of ugly things and/or people.

This phenomenon implies that there’s a very strong connection between your mind and your sight. Studies have shown that your eyes react to what your mind thinks.

In other words, your iris enlarge when you’re fantasizing… and your iris shrink when you’re having nightmares. Your eyes don’t rest when you are asleep. It “sees” whatever is in your mind.

Resting their eyes is one those crucial activities most people don’t do. I admit that I often forget about them too.

But I can tell you that doing any near point activities, for a prolonged period of time, is harmful for you eyes. That includes staring at your monitor, watching tv, cooking, housework, reading and so on. You get the idea.

The rule is to dedicate 1 minute to rest your eyes for every 10 minutes of work. I generally opt to rest 3 minutes for every 30 minutes.

When it comes to rebuilding vision, I’ve always recommended a holistic approach.As you might have known, supplements is crucial in helping your eyes work the way nature intended to.

But no matter how much vision improving supplements you gulp down, if you body cannot efficiently absorb and make use of it, it’s all a waste. Believe it or not, it occurs more often than not. Notice how you are consuming all those multi-vitamins and eating a healthy diet doesn’t seem to help improve your health… or it takes a very long time to have an effect?

Naturally improving vision is one of those thorny issues. It’s true that you can do it, but it affects the people “at the top”.

You see, back in 2005, when I started to look for an alternative to glasses due to mockery, I find myself questioning the assumption I’ve always had.

The assumption that “myopia is genetic”. I was told that this is the case, and I’ve always taken it for granted.

I’ve never question its validity. What I found in my search for an alternative shocked me to my very core. I’ve never thought that naturally improving vision naturally is… not only is it possible, it’s actually quite painless.

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.

If you have been doing eye strengthening exercises and still fail to rebuild your vision, here’s the piece that will complete the puzzle.

To naturally improve vision, it’s only crucial that you do eye exercises; it’s also crucial that you pick up good vision habits and consume supplements that help your eyes.

The exercises in the Rebuild Your Vision program are designed to help you pick up good vision habits so you can subconsciously see things the way nature intended. Once these techniques are part of your habit, your eyes will view things naturally and in relaxed mode.

One of the most common questions I received ever since I started telling people about eye strengthening exercises is, “Why haven’t I heard of it?”

My answer to them is always the same: There a lot of things that you don’t know!

Ever heard of the saying “Money makes the world go around?”

Well, it couldn’t be truer in this case. The optical industry is a big industry. It was worth $30.2 billion dollars 10 years ago. Disregard exponential growth for a moment, how much do you think it’s worth today?

For those of you who are in the know, you should by now know that glasses are actually bad for your eye. If you ever want to rebuild your vision, you should wear it only if it’s absolutely necessary for you to.

For those of you with really bad eyesight, that would be a problem. I know it was for me. My eyesight was -5.00, I couldn’t even see the text in the monitor without leaning forward.
