Improving My Eyesight

This month’s Rebuild Your Vision Program newsletter provided some tips about dry eye syndrome… thought I’d share them with you!

There are various types of dry eye syndrome, and between 10 and 15 percent of people in the United States have dry eye problems. Dry eye syndrome occurs as a part of the natural aging process, especially during menopause; as a side effect of medications such as antihistamines and antidepressants; and as a result of living in a dry, dusty, or windy climate. Air conditioning or heating systems can also dry out your eyes. Another cause is insufficient blinking, such as when you’re staring at a computer screen all day.

Preservative-free artificial tears can be purchased over the counter to help moisten dry eyes. But for a natural solution, many people find flaxseed oil tablets to be helpful. As well, omega-6 fatty acids (found in borage and evening primrose oil) and omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish oil) can help restore the lipid layer of the eye. This keeps tears from evaporating as quickly. Supplement with 50mg of vitamin B6 to improve utilization of these fats in the body.

By the way, the Ocu-Plus Formula Vision Supplement has all the nutrients to help maintain healthy eyes.

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas…

Till next time,

Hello All,

Hey, I just got this email from Orlin Sorensen - the founder of the Rebuild Your Vision Eye Exercise Program…

He’s giving away three copies of his program absolutely free… he’s even paying for shipping… all you have to do is take a quiz.

But there’s a little catch… The first 3 people who take the test and answer all 6 questions correctly will win a free copy of the Rebuild Your Vision program.

Here’s the link to the Quiz – Rebuild Your Vision EyeQ Quiz

Good Luck!!

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..

Have you ever heard about “eyebright”?…  Well a lot of people haven’t.

I came about this eye nutrition fact in the RebuildYourVision Newsletter and thought I should share it:

Eyebright has been used for centuries to treat eye irritation. Its Greek name, Euphrasia, comes from Euphrosyne, one of the three Graces, who was distinguished for her joy and mirth. The name is thought to have been given the plant because of its valuable properties as an eye medicine that preserved eyesight and so brought gladness into the life of the sufferer.

Eyebright is an antioxidant herb. Its antibiotic and astringent properties tighten membranes and mucus surrounding the eyes, effectively strengthening and improving circulation. Rich in vitamins A and C, eyebright also contains tannins that are beneficial for reducing inflammation.

The Rebuild Your Vision Ocu-Plus Formula contains Eyebright and 16 other nutrients that play an important role in your vision health.

Look out tomorrow for more information on the Janet Goodrich Personal Eyesight Training Kit.

Till then,
