"20/20 Vision... Without Glasses"

"Over three out of four people believe that their sight is the most important sense they have. This is probably related to the fact that about 80% of what we perceive through our senses comes in through our sight.

Good eyesight plays a crucial role in your mobility and your enjoyment of life so it would certainly make sense to optimize your eyesight as much as possible without the use of artificial and unnatural aids that will only worsen your vision with continued use."

Why Eyeglasses Actually WORSEN Your Vision

"While it is true that eyeglasses bring some people improved vision and relief from pain and discomfort, they always do more or less harm, and at their best they never improve your vision to normal.

Most people don't realize that their visual abnormalities are a dynamic process that they vary regularly throughout the day due to a variety of conditions. They simply are not set in stone.

Pioneering physicians have examined 20,000 school children and found that more than half had normal eyes, with sight that was perfect at times, but not one of them had perfect sight in each eye at all times of the day. Their sight might be good in the morning and imperfect in the afternoon, or imperfect in the morning and perfect in the afternoon.

Many children could read one Snellen test card with perfect sight, while unable to see a different one perfectly. Many could also read some letters of the alphabet perfectly, while unable to distinguish other letters of the same size under similar conditions.

What was true for the children is also true for adults.

The degree of imperfect sight varied within wide limits. Its duration was also variable. Under some conditions it might continue for only a few minutes, or less while under others it might prevent the subject from seeing the blackboard for days, weeks, or even longer.

The bottom line is that you or your children do not have a static unchanging visual impairment. It changes widely throughout the day."

"Glasses Only Treat the Symptoms

NOT the Problem

In today's "spinning door" world of managed healthcare, it's no surprise that most doctors will simply prescribe glasses or even surgery right off the bat. And let's face it - they've been trained to treat vision that way and they're not about to change overnight.

So if they tell you there's "nothing else you can do" and "no other way" to improve your eyesight, keep this in mind before you decide:

Stronger eyeglasses do nothing to address the underlying root of vision health, nor do they protect your eyes from the ever-continuing onslaught of free radical damage.

That's why you almost never hear of anyone needing weaker glasses. A prescription for stronger glasses today is a prescription for yet even stronger ones down the road as more and more free radical damage to your eyes goes unchecked. "
