Your Kids Don't Need Glasses

"Your Kids Don't Need Glasses

Now, think of all the issues I mentioned above with your eyeglasses, and apply them to your kids.

I would strongly advise you to exercise extreme caution before you impose glasses on your children. It really is tragic when children are condemned to a lifetime of having to wear glasses because of all age groups they are the ones that best respond to natural eye improvement strategies.

A study conducted by Anglia Polytechnic University in Cambridge, England, found that the very best intentions by optometrists to correct short-sightedness in a group of 94 children, in fact made the children's vision worse.

Another study published in Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavia in March 2002 (page 125) showed that in hunter gatherer populations less than 2% of the children required glasses, unlike European or Asian populations that have up to 50% of children needing glasses.

That's right this is an astounding observation that can have a profound effect on your child's eye health.

The study of 229 hunter gatherer societies found that refined cereals and sugars were rarely if ever consumed in these groups living in their traditional manner.

But the moment they had western contact these foods rapidly became dietary staples and the loss of the children's vision followed after that.

Eating foods low in sugar and without an excess of grains, sugars, soda and fruit juices could help keep their insulin levels in check -- the reason many children require glasses for vision correction is due to increases in free insulin-like growth factor (IGF).

Have Your Children Checked by a Specialist!

It's also very important you have your child's r vision examined by the appropriate professional -- in this case, a pediatric ophthalmologist.

Why do I recommend this?

A university study conducted by Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and published in the Journal of the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, provided striking information.

The study reported the following for children under the care of an eye professional:

Optometrists -- prescribed glasses 35% of the time

General ophthalmologists -- prescribed glasses 12% of the time

Pediatric ophthalmologists -- prescribed glasses only 2% of the time

So, this study clearly shows the importance of choosing the right professional eye doctor to examine your kids. Plus, the study concluded that optometrists and ophthalmologists who usually treat adults may not have as much expertise with children.

Remember, if you start your kids out on glasses you could be starting their slow vision deterioration at a very young age.

This is obviously something no parent would want for their children.

Program Works Exceptionally Well for Children

Further in this report I will discuss more specifics of a natural vision recovery program but there is a major point you need to understand when making the decision to put glasses on your child.

Persons of all ages have been benefited by this relaxation treatment, but children usually, though not always, respond much more quickly than adults.

If they are under 12 years of age, or even under 16, and have never worn glasses, they are usually improve in a few days, weeks, or months, and nearly always within a year, by doing something as simple as reading a Snellen test card every day."
