Improving My Eyesight

This is useful tip I got from the Program For Better Vision Newsletter, that I would like to share. It’s about using sunlight to nourish and relax your eyes… Try it!

It’s called The Sun Cycle Exercise and addition to nourishing and relaxing your eyes, it also reduces your sensitivity to light.

Here are the Instructions:

1. Close your eyes and face toward the sun. (If you cannot face the sun with your eyes closed without squinting or tightening your facial muscles, then begin the Sun Cycle by facing slightly away from the sun so that your face and closed eyes can relax. Then, as you become more accustomed to the light, gradually turn closer and closer towards the sun.)

2. Let the sunlight fall on your closed eyes for five seconds.

3. Place your cupped palms over your closed eyes, shutting out all light for five more seconds, then take your hands away, keeping your eyes closed.

4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 ten to twenty times, for a total of three to five minutes.

The Sun Cycle helps to nourish your visual system, exercise the focusing muscles of the eyes and reduce sensitivity to light and glare.

Practice the Sun Cycle regularly. Most people experience a decrease in sensitivity within twenty to thirty days.

And here are some additional tips:

To get the light nourishment that your eyes and body need, spend at least 30 minutes a day outdoors - without glasses or contacts - so that your visual system can receive unfiltered sunlight. Any glass - window glass, car windshield, eyeglasses or contacts - filters part of the full spectrum of light and reduces the beneficial effect that sunlight has on your eyes and body.

We recommend sunglasses only in situations of glare or reflected light (the beach or ski slopes).

Your eyes most fully rest in total darkness. The best way to rest your eyes is to close them and place your cupped palms over your closed eyes. You can palm for as little as 30 - 40 seconds any time that your eyes feel tired or strained. While palming, it is also helpful to visualize a pleasant scene in your mind’s eye.

I want to share another experience with you today… actually it just happened about 30 mins ago while I was driving on my way to work.

One of the things that is recommended when someone is trying to improve their eyesight naturally is to practice focusing…. focus on near objects, focus on distant objects, focus, focus.

I have developed the habit of doing just that as well as  doing my eye exercises wherever and whenever…

While waiting at a traffic light, I decided to focus on the number plate of the car in front of me… without my glasses. Now, because my eyesight is so terrible, I can’t see the numbers without my glasses. But I decided to try it anyways. To my delight, as I focused more and more, the numbers became clearer and clearer. Though not absolutely clear, I was able to discern the numbers and when I put my glasses back on, I was able to confirm that the numbers were actually what I saw without my glasses.

This is very encouraging for me and I hope that you find it encouraging too.

So remember… focus, focus, focus!

Here is another testimonial from the Rebuild Your Vision Program. This one is from Margot Costenoble of Australia:

“I am 73 years old. I was found to have right eye pressure of 35 on a routine checkup and was sent to specialist. After three months I finally got to see the specialist who confirmed it was glaucoma and the reading was still the same. 27 on the left eye and 35 on the right eye. Then I looked up on the internet and found you and I ordered the Ocu-Plus Formula. In one month’s time my pressure dropped to 20 on left and 22 on right! That is really good.”

I hope you find these testimonials as encouraging as I do…

In my last post I suggested that eye exercises can be done anywhere, anytime. Today I just wanted to point out another time when I do the eye exercises.

I am trying to improve my overall fitness and as such I try to do exercises regularly. What I also try to do is…. just after I finish my exercises I would a ten minutes or so and do some eye exercises..

So there you have it.. another time to do eye exercises..

Although I try to do the exercises every morning and every night, I am also trying to make it a habit to do my exercises as often as possible.

As such, I find myself doing the eye exercises, at other times during the day, regardless of where I am… For example:

If I am in traffic, I do some eye exercises… I would look at an object close to me and focus on it for about 2 seconds, then I would look at an object in the distance, and focus on that for about 2 seconds, back and forth…

I also often do what I call “stretching exercises”, where I would look left, right, up, down, etc, etc.

The point is, don’t limit yourself to doing the exercises at regimented times… do them whenever you like. In fact, the truth is, it’s difficult to stick to a scheduled program.

You can use these free eye exercises if you wish.
