Orthodox ophthalmology has lead all of those who have vision problems to believe that the only way to obtain vision correction is by wearing glasses or contact lenses. However this is simply not the case. Research has shown that glasses can in fact worsen your eyesight rather than improve it!

In fact an effective and safe way of correcting your vision without glasses is to undertake eye exercises such as the Bates Eye Exercise Method. William Horatio Bates was a respected ophthalmologist who after years of research began to question the teachings and opinions of orthodox ophthalmology and dared to say that there was another way to improve your vision other than by wearing glasses.

Thousands of testimonials by those who have followed the Bates exercise methods have shown that in fact these exercises are beneficial for a number of eye conditions such as Myopia, Presbyopia, Cataracts and Glaucoma. Bates showed that eyesight often deteriorates due to eye strain and that the key to improving vision and achieving vision correction is to actually relax your eyes.

He devised a series of exercises which involved exercises such as palming the eyes in order to relax the muscles. Other exercises include the swinging exercise which involves moving the gaze of your eye from one point to another. Bates also stressed the important of sunshine and Vitamin D for healthy eyes, and one of the exercises involves ‘sunning’ your eyes.

Many people who have followed these exercises regularly have to their delight found that they have been able to throw away their glasses. Furthermore they have found that they have saved money as they no longer have to make expensive trips to the opticians to change the lenses of their glasses. Those who have recovered healthy vision by following the Bates method are witnesses to the fact that there is a way of obtaining vision correction without wearing glasses.

To keep the memory sharp, it is important to maintain vision. Relaxation is the key to maintain vision for many years. Vision and mental focus go hand in hand and both don’t do well with strain and stress. Relaxation and inner peace is important in remembering things. All these things rely on each other to work properly.

A great way to test the condition of the eyes is a mental memory exercise. In this exercise, the goal is to maintain a visual image for as long as possible. To start, cover one eye and glance quickly at a letter on the page with the other eye. Close your eyes and hold the image of the letter in your mind as long as possible. Count how many seconds the image stays in your mind before fading away to darkness. Take note of this number. Do the same thing for the other eye and compare the results.

Now relax the eyes and try again. One way to relax the eyes is to close them and concentrate only on pleasant thoughts and good memories. Allow your eyes to focus on the darkness and forget everything around you. Open your eyes and try the exercise again. Hopefully the results are different and the image stayed longer the second time around. If not, you may need to find some eye relaxing exercises and work on removing the strain.

Vision affects memory. We need the vision to see the image. The more clearly we see the image the more detail we can recall on later. Focusing on the positive events will help keep the mind relaxed and the eyes free of strain.

The following exercise will help you relax and improve your memory. Try it tonight. While lying in bed tonight focus on all the positive things that happened throughout the day. Picture the events of the in as much detail and color as possible. Try picturing your lunch or the clothes the person who complimented you was wearing. Focusing on the positive will clear your mind, relax the body, and give you a better night’s sleep.

Removing the strain from the eyes will not only improve your vision it will also improve your memory.

Protect the Eyes from Glasses or Contacts

The eyes are one of the most important of the five senses. We need them to see and enjoy the world around us. They allow us to read and get work done. They help remember images we once saw, and they keep our dreams alive at night. The eyes are also sensitive and vulnerable to outside damage. They are one of the few organs that are on the outside of the body, protected only by a thin layer of skin, the eyelids.

The sun is a powerful wonderful thing. The sun is great for your skin and gives us valuable Vitamin D. Each day find the time to spend at least an hour in the sun. The sun has great healing powers and the natural light is as important as food, water, and air. Never look directly at the sun; of course, it can burn the retinas. Wear some kind of protection like a visor or hat to protect the eyes

Televisions and computers are used in our daily lives but they are hard on the eyes. They force eyes to stare for too long and don’t offer the eyes enough movement. The distance and angle doesn’t ever change, so the eyes remain looking at a still object for too long. It is not always possible to avoid the television or computers, especially computers. Look away every so often and focus on things far away to give your eyes a chance to move and adjust. Try not to spend the entire day in front of the television or at least let your eyes wander during commercials.

Reading is never harmful for the eyes, but it helps to enjoy what you are reading. The eyes will be more relaxed when reading a novel than when reading a text book full of new information. Learning to relax no matter what the subject is the key to enjoying reading. Dim lights and small print may be problematic at first, but the eyes will adjust when relaxed. Reading in bed can be relaxing and reading while driving doesn’t have to make you sick.

The eyes are sensitive organs, but learning to relax and keep them protected can ensure great vision for a long time.
