We always hear so many things about how sunlight is harmful to our skin so we can only assume it would be the same for our eyes. Dr. William Bates, an ophthalmologist, developed a technique called “sunning” back in the early 1900’s which helped many of his patients improve their vision naturally.

You never want to look directly at the sun with your eyes open because the sun’s rays can be very harmful to your eyes. But sunlight can actually be very healing. What you do want to do is let the sun shine directly on your closed eyelids. Just look directly toward the sun and never wear your contact lenses when performing this exercise.

This technique allows the retina to get use to bright light. This is beneficial so that your eyes can tolerate bright lights without any ill effects on the eyes. It only takes about 5 minutes of exposing your closed eyelids to the direct sunlight before you will notice that your vision is much clearer and sharper.

Can relaxing your face help improve your vision? Sounds kind of corny, doesn’t it? I mean if relaxing your face could help improve your vision don’t you think more people would jump on that one? Well, there is a little more to it than that but let me explain.

How Glasses Can Make Your Eyesight Worse

February 25th, 2010


If you wear glasses I’m sure you can recall the first time you put them on. It probably took a little getting use to before you could see clearly, right! That’s because it takes your eyes a period of time to adjust. Some people actually feel a little dizzy at first but with time, they eventually adjust to their new specs.

Over the years if you continue to wear glasses your vision will get steadily worse, your prescriptions stronger and can eventually lead to other eye diseases. This is because you are using your glasses as a crutch instead of curing the underlying problem. It’s the same thing as putting a band-aid on a cut. It’s just there for protection and won’t actually cure the cut itself. Your eyesight will just continue to get weaker and worse throughout the years.
