The video below details an easy way to temporarily focus your vision when you don’t have glasses or contact lenses.  This one simple trick could come in handy if you lose your glasses.

 

•Antioxidants such as Vitamin A, Vitamin E and C have been proven to reduce the risk of eye diseases.  Particularly, lutein and zeaxanthin are natural antioxidants which play the role of natural sunglasses. They are concentrated in the macula region of your eye and they protect you from damaging UV light and oxidative damage. The best food sources of lutein and zeaxanthin are:
-Kale
-Spinach
-Chard
-Parsley
-Chicory
-Collards
-Other leafy green vegetables.
You can also find them in:
-Pumpkin
-Squash
-Broccoli
-Brussels sprouts
-Peas

•Vitamin D can drastically improve your eyesight. Consequently, Vitamin D deficiency leads to vision problems. Studies on  laboratory mice have revealed that six weeks of vitamin D supplementation led to reduced inflammation of the retina and drastically improved vision. Besides getting Vitamin D from the Sun, you need to consume foods rich in fat soluble vitamins such as organ meats. This might shock you, but wearing sunglasses can prevent you from getting proper sunlight which affects different processes in the body.

•Omega-3 Fatty Acids help protect optic nerve disorders such as glaucoma. Did you know that Eskimos have a much lower rate of glaucoma than any other people because of their high intake of Omega-3 fatty acids. After all, they eat a lot of fish. Omega-3 is a tricky one: it’s called essential fatty acid because your body can not produce it on its own, it has to be acquired through food. By the way, this is one of the reasons to breastfeed because Omega-3 fatty acids are found in breast milk.  Some of the best sources of Omega-3s in food are hemp seed/oil, flaxseed and oil, English walnuts, chia seeds, salmon, and herring. If you want to know more follow this link read 32 ways to obtain Omega-3 balance.

These are just a few examples of natural alternatives that will improve your eyesight. As I said earlier, glasses and contact lenses will worsen your eyesight overtime, which your doctor has never probably told you (they are in the money making business too). But you can address the problem yourself because it starts with food, real food!
