How can i improve my vision?
Question:
Answer:
There is nothing you can do to improve your vision except using corrective lenses. Eating carrots is a myth and if you eat too many you will turn orange, really.
I heard that eating carrots is a good way to improve your eyesight.
Good Luck!!
eat carrots, beta caretine
lots of carrots or actually the vitamin supplement Beta Carrotine can help with your eyesight :)
laser surgery, glasses, contacts, temporarily squinting your eyes, squinting causes your retina to bend in a more parabolic curvature, allowing better focus.
carrots are the best
sleep well
honey "very effective".
I discovered that we don't need glasses (or lenses) at all. In fact, they actually make your eyesight worse!
There is no limit to how much
you can improve your vision beyond 20/20
Vitamin C -- helps with long term healthy vision support
Vitamin E -- helps with long term healthy vision support
R- Alpha lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that enhances glucose use in brain and eye cells. Usually a dose of 10 to 50 mg of R-Alpha lipoic acid can have a positive influence on vision
Substances in Fruits and Vegetables that help Vision
There are thousands of beneficial substances in produce that could be helpful. The two major categories are carotenoids and flavonoids.
Carotenoids are found in fruits and vegetables. Of the many carotenoids circulating in human bloodstream, only lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene are accumulated to any significant degree throughout the tissues of the eye. Good vision depends on more that just eating carrots since carrots contain mostly beta carotene.
Lutein is a carotenoid which has become popular as a dietary supplement either by itself, or combined with zeaxanthin.
Zeaxanthin and lutien play important roles in protecting eye tissue in the macula from damage by free radicals. Corn, eggs, green leafy vegetables, peppers, red grapes and pumpkins are some of the foods rich in lutein and zeazanthin.
Lycopene is found mostly in tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, apricots, papaya, and guava.
Flavonoids are found in many fruits and vegetables, and in many herbs, including Bilberry, Eyebright, and Ginkgo biloba. Flavonoids help support healthy vision. Citrus bioflavonoids are flavonoids found in citrus fruits
In addition to the above herbs, there are countless others with compounds that have an influence on blurred vision or general vision health support.
Just like the rest of the cells in the brain, the cells of the retina — the rods and the cones — contain long-chained fatty acids. The most prominent of these fatty acids in the eye is an omega-3 fatty acid called DHA. In my experience, I have found that the omega-3 oils, generally found in fish and flaxseed, enhance visual perception. I notice improved color perception and depth of vision, enhanced night and distance vision, and overall enhancement in visual awareness after several days of taking flaxseed oil or fish oil capsules. In order to notice quicker results, i.e, within two or three days, the dosages need to be significant. For instance, most people need to take several grams of a combination EPA/DHA fish oil supplement or a tablespoon or two of flaxseed oil. Once you notice an improvement, you can reduce your dosage of fish oils to one or two grams a day, or a teaspoon of flaxseed oil.
Vision and Diet
Most everything that you do to improve your overall health will, in the long run, influence the health of your eyes. For optimal vision protection, I recommend you include a variety of whole foods in your diet and take antioxidants.
Vision and Stress
Regular Yoga practice improves vision and helps you see clearer and sharper. I'm not sure why, but it works! I've experienced it. Perhaps it partly has to do with improved nerve function or relaxation of eye muscles, or just a lowering of overall stress. Exercise can help you relax and improve your sleeping patterns which can help with Vision.
Also, if you spend many hours in front of a computer, try to take frequent breaks.
Risk factors for Age-Related Vision Loss
Eating fish frequently is associated with decreased chances of developing age-related vision degeneration, while smoking nearly doubles the risk for vision loss and hormone therapy appears to have no effect. Many of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis or blocked arteries, may contribute to the development of age related vision loss, possibly by affecting blood flow to the eye.
Video games and vision
A study by the University of Rochester showed that people who played action video games for a few hours a day over the course of a month improved their vision by about 20 percent."Action video game play changes the way our brains process visual information," said Daphne Bavelier, professor of brain and cognitive sciences, and added, "These games push the human visual system to the limits and the brain adapts to it. That learning carries over into other activities and possibly everyday life."Graduate student were given an eye test similar to the one used at regular eye clinics and then divided into two groups -- one played shoot-em-up action games for an hour a day while the control group played a less visually complex game. Their vision was tested after the study, with those who played the action game scoring better in the eye test. The researchers said their findings could help patients with several types of vision problems.
My eyes are awesome! Also remember there is eye sight above 20/20
Good Luck!
Do carrots improve eyesight?
The Royal Air Force started this rumour to cover up its use of night radar during WWII. While carrots are a source of beta-carotene, which is necessary for good eyesight (the liver changes it into vitamin A), chomping on lots of carrots won’t improve your vision.
A couple of years ago the Blue Mountains Eye Study, a major Australian research project, found that there was a tendency for people to begin eating lots of carrots at the first hint of night-blindness.
Many women in the study had a diet that was above average in beta-carotene, but very bland: other sources of beta-carotene, such as green leafy, yellow, orange or red vegies, didn't even get a look-in.
While carrots and other vegies are good for you, they won’t make you see better in the dark unless you are severely deficient — which is highly unlikely as vitamin A is in a wide variety of foods in our diet.
Night-blindness experienced by the people in the study is more likely to come from cataracts and other age-related eye problems.
Other studies draw mixed conclusions.
Some suggest that eating green leafy vegetables and other sources of beta carotene (not just carrots) may help reduce the early signs of age-related problems.
However, recent research based on the Australian eye study has found no association between eating more antioxidants (including vitamin A) and reducing age-related eye problems
Recheck to see if PRK vision correction surgery disqualifies you. The military has begun to relax their stance on refractive surgery as our office has done a few lately. So far the only procedure they allow is PRK. You have to jump through hoops and it takes a years worth of followup. I think it depends on exactly what you will be doing after wards.

http://www.iblindness.org/ (Bates Method)
Before anyone disregards what I'm saying about the Bates method, let me point out that I've had great improvements with it. It does not have to do with 'eye exercises' but good eye habits, relaxation, and seeing better through the mind. I know it sounds strange, but my vision went from 20/100 to 20/13 through mental 'clear flashes' (confirmed on Snellen eye chart). It is based on mental imprints of something appearing "perfect" using your own imagination. Kind of like "muscle memory" in a tennis player. But a tennis player will not develop "very good muscle memory" the first day, until the day after that, and then the day after. It works in a neuroplasticity sense (neuroplasticity is a division of neuroscience). To read more about how to produce 'clear flashes', read this: http://www.iblindness.org/forum/index.ph...
There are a lot of unscientific men out there disclaiming the Bates Method without really trying it themselves. You can find such men at Quackwatch.org who write arguments against the method. Even if some of what Bates mentioned may have been incorrect, they make it look like the WHOLE thing is incorrect. They could not have been more wrong.
I have been able to argumentatively 'trap' a great deal of scientists who dismiss the 'clear flashes', simply by saying:
"If you do not try something before disregarding it entirely, you are the "one" being unscientific. It's as simple as that.
Unscientific people jump to conclusions without trying things -- when you do not try something, how does that make you scientific?"
Ignorance (not knowing) and adamant disrefusal to believe something without trying it are two entirely different things, but my statement above clarifies the difference between being "scientific" versus being "unscientific". Experience IS the best teacher. The method is different from 'eye exercises' products which assume your extrinsic eye muscles are weak, when in fact the eye moves more than any organ in the body and the muscles are being overused and not relaxed properly. These misleading 'eye exercise' products tell you to exercise your eyes 25 min/day, then you go back to your bad eye habits for the rest of the day - that is why 'eye exercises' have a limited success rate. The Bates Method teaches you how to use correct eye habits 24/7/365 just like perfect-sighted people. It also teaches you to relax your muscular and nervous system to promote vision. Furthermore, it teaches you how to create 'mental imprints' that helps you see better.

I'm not sure why, but it works!" --- (My comment: It's because the eye muscles are tense and when you relax them through yoga, you relieve them of tension and reduce retinal defocus/axial elongation caused by the oblique eye muscles acting like a belt upon the eyeball. Our eye researchers cannot explain exactly why eyeball shape varies, except by explaining away by saying it's hereditary. Bates Method uses ancient Tibetan yoga techniques such as 'palming' to improve eyesight.)
