First created over 150 years ago, eye exercises are widely used around the world today for natural vision improvement. Also commonly referred to as vision training, eye exercises performed consistently over a period of time can cure:
- Myopia – Nearsightedness
- Hyperopia – Farsightedness
- Presbyopia – Aging vision
- Astigmatism – An irregularly shaped cornea
The Causes of Poor Vision
The main cause of poor vision is muscle tension in and around the eye. This eye strain affects the ability to focus and relax completely, and over time the eyeball changes shape to compensate. The irregular shape of the eyeball causes light to focus too far in front of the retina (in nearsightedness) or too far behind (in farsightedness). The cornea can also become squashed (astigmatism) which is a common effect of being near sighted.
How Eye Exercises Work
Eye exercises work by first strengthening the six groups of eye muscles, and then helping them to relax completely each day to improve vision on a progressive basis. They usually form a vision training program of 30-60 days (or more in severe cases) and are known to be effective on all common vision disorders. However, eye exercises cannot cure more serious eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma and retinopathy.
Scientific Evidence
Over the years, many scientific studies on vision training have produced favourable results. One such study, run by Irwin B Suchoff, OD, and G Timothy Petito, OD, concluded in the Journal of the American Optometric Association:
"Symptoms were totally eliminated in 53% of the patients, reduced in 43%, and remained the same in only 4%. Therefore... an overall success rate of 96%... There is an impressive and increasing body of evidence attesting to the trainability of accommodative function." (From a study of 96 patients with some type of accommodative dysfunction who had completed a vision therapy program.)
Free Eye Exercises Online
There are two ways to begin natural vision improvement:
- Online eye exercises
- Local practitioner
It is recommended to try out some free eye exercises online before deciding if vision training is appropriate. There is overwhelming anecdotal evidence showing people can improve vision within a few days, but to fully treat the underlying muscle tension, users must stick to the program consistently for several weeks or more. However, once natural clear vision is achieved, very little upkeep is required and users report better vision naturally for years to follow.
The Rebuild Your Vision 30-day Program
Rebuild Your Vision is a very popular vision training program, effective against nearsightedness, farsightedness, aging vision and astigmatism. The initial program lasts for 30 days, with additional routines beyond for further natural vision improvement.
