1. The first cardinal rule of better vision is to stop wearing glasses. If you can’t see without your glasses, then go get one that’s 2 to 3 degrees weaker than then one you’re prescribed. This allows your eyes to relearn how to see the way nature intended. Glasses are also a source of strain because when the optometrist test your eyesight, he/she is testing it for a fixed distance away. When you wear your glasses to see distances shorter than what’s tested, it produces strain on your eyes because your eyes have to adjust. Unfortunately, most of us spend most of our time seeing things in close distance – things such as TV, monitors and books.

When one mentions of “vision correction” there’s a tendency to think there’s something wrong with the eyes. Bu did you know that your eyes are the ones actually doing the “seeing”?

They are merely windows in which light rays passes through. These light rays are encoded into brain signals that are sent to the visual cortex (the part of your brain that processes these signals). The brain then decodes those signals and generates the images that you see.

In trying to correct their vision, most people try to fix the window. After all, we’ve often been told that because the window is wrong, light rays landed on the wrong part of the eye. Right?

There’s a reason why stuffing your face with carrots doesn’t hep improving your vision. It’s because few people suffer from bad vision because they did not consume enough vitamin A.

Vitamin A is an abundant vitamin. It’s found both in meat and vegetables. In vegetables, it’s known as beta-carotene, a component that can be converted in vitamin A by your liver.

So if the lack of vitamin A is not the reason why your eyes are deteriorating… then what is?
