Improving My Eyesight

Hello All,

I’ve been absent for a while… haven’t posted anything in a little over a week.

Today I just wanted to post something interested…

It illustrates the remarkable power of the brain to recognize extremely low-resolution images.

Check it out on this page – http://games.yahoo.com/braingames/brain-teasers-games/pixel-face-1-2-527

A lot of people have gotten it right. I guessed right! How about you?

Till next time,

Hey all…

Today I want to continue my in depth description of the Janet Goodrich Personal Eyesight Training Kit… I’m going to talk today, specifically about the pinhole glasses that are included in the kit.

So what are pinhole glasses anyway? – Pinhole glasses are shaped like normal glasses… but instead of glasses lenses, with pinhole glasses, there is black plastic with several tiny “pinholes”.

pinhole glasses

Pinholes work by reducing the amount of scattered light and allowing through only parallel beams that fall on the keenest area of sight on the retina.. thereby allowing clearing vision.

As part of any natural vision improvement program, participants are encouraged to get glasses that have a lower prescription than is normal prescribed for them. This can be done through a behavioral optometrist. For those of us who can’t find behavioral optometrist or don’t feel comfortable asking our current optemetrist for glasses with a lower prescription, pinhole glasses are a good alternative.

Pinholes can be used for common activities like reading, watching TV or using the computer use, etc. They should not be used while driving. Note that I used my pinhole glasses while typing part of this post!… So they definitely allow you to see clearer.. but there is some getting to use to.

Hope you found this post informative… Look out for my next post tomorrow

Hey all,

I’ve been spending some time going through the Janet Goodrich Personal Eyesight Training Kit and as promised, I’m going to talk a little bit about each of the items that’s including in the package. Today, I’ll tell you about the booklet…

Personal Eyesight Training Kit Booklet

The booklet has about 75 pages and here’s a peek of the topics covered:

About the kit – this section basically describes what’s including in the kit and how each item is related to the natural vision improvement program.

Intro to Natural Vision Improvement – this section essentially answers some frequently asked questions about natural vision improvement and common vision conditions such as myopia and astigmatism. It also provides a very useful process map, which based on your specific condition outlines which eye exercises should be done. The process map covers myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia as well as combinations of either one.

Understanding Your Prescription – this section explains what the terms in a typical prescription mean.

Self Assessment – the self assessment section provides a step-by-step guide for you to determine your visual acuity … essentially it’s to provide yourself with a starting point for your natural vision improvement.

Transition and Pinhole Glasses – This section explains the purpose of transition and pinhole glasses in the natural vision improvement process… and when and how to use them.

Vision Activity Reference Guide – this section describes in much detail all of the eye exercises in the Janet Goodrich Method of natural vision improvement, such as palming, sunning, tromboning, feather swing, etc… I counted about 15 eye exercises in the program.

Other Eyesight Factors – in addition to eye exercises, natural vision improvement involves proper nutrition and practicing habits that are healthy for your eyes, including how to deal with stress… that’s what this section is all about.

Maintaining Good Vision for Life – once you’ve achieved greater visual acuity, you’ll what to read this section on the habits you must maintain to ensure that your improved vision does not “slide back downhill”.

History of the Janet Goodrich Method & Additional Information – Ever wondered how natural vision improvement came about or how the Janet Goodrich Method started?… well this section answers those questions, plus it provides you with some information on some useful natural vision improvement resources.

Well guys.. that was quite a bit, but that’s what’s covered in the booklet… next I’ll talk about the pinhole glasses.

Till next time..

Since my post some weeks ago about the improvement in my astigmatism, I’ve received several emails asking about what I did to improve my astigmatism.

Well, the truth is, I can’t point to any specific thing and neither can my optician. However, I can tell you about some of the changes I’ve made since I started my quest to improve my vision a couple of years ago… I’m sure that the improvement can be attributed to one or more of these things:

Eye exercises – Doing eye exercises to improve vision was one of the first things I started doing. Intially, I followed the steps in the Rebuild Your Vision Program very regularly. However, in more recent times, I have been doing the exercises rather infrequently.

Nutrition – I decided to use a multivitamin that has the vitamins and minerals necessary for healthy eyes, such as lutein. I am currently using MegaMen Sport, because I’m so active (swimming, cycling, etc), but you can check out the Occu-Plus Formula or any of the eye vitamins product on this page.

General habits – There are couple of habits I’ve developed over the past couple of years:

• Practicing the 10-10-10 rule when using the computer… as well as trying to blink more frequently when I’m at the computer
• Not depending on my glasses too much… I don’t use them unless I have to.

So there you have it… the changes I’ve made to help improve my own eyesight.

Have you seen any improvement in your eyesight? And if so what have you been doing?

Hey Guys…

Just wanted to share some great news… On my last visit to the optometrist, which was about a week ago, she indicated that my astigmatism has been notably improved!!

This is truly great news for me… and I hope it serves as some motivation for others that are trying to improve their vision naturally by doing eye exercises and proper nutrition.

Hey Readers…

It’s been some time since I’ve written about my actual progress with eye exercises.

Well the truth is I haven’t been doing the eye exercises… at least not in strict accordance with the Rebuild Your Vision Program. Generally I would simple do some natural eye exercises whenever my eyes get tired or feel strained… and they do work.

With my experience with doing eye exercises, I now know that they:

1. Have my eyes feeling less strained
2. Improve my ability to focus

I have been giving my eyes the proper nutrition though. In addition to taking a multivitamin which has all the right vitamins and minerals that promote healthy eyes, I eat carrots very often and try to drink at least 5 glasses of water every day.

For those of you that are interested in improving your eyesight, but are fed up of wearing glasses or afraid of doing eye surgery, I would say go ahead and try one of the Eye Exercise Programs… but be consious of this:

If You Don’t Do The Eye Exercises Regularly, Don’t Expect Results – It seems that humans are lazy by nature and much rather getting quick results. That is why eye surgery is so popular. However, eye exercises is a natural and therefore slow alternative. You have to do the exercises often (preferably everyday) and consistently to experience significant improvement in your eyesight.

Expect That You Will What To Give Up – This point follows from the first point. Due to lazy nature of humans, you are going to get impatient, perhaps because you think that you are not experiencing significant improvement fast enough. It is important that you remember something – more likely than not, it took years for your eyesight to deteriorate to the its present state; it is unfair that you would expect to reverse the process within a mere days.

See You Next Time,

William

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!

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.

Since I started back on track with my eye exercise, I have been doing them about 3 times each day.

Firstly, I do them either as soon as I get up in the morning or as soon as reach to work. Then, I also do them just after lunch and once again just before going to bed.

I really hope I can keep it up.

I have also been encouraging my co-workers to continue with their exercises.
