What No One’s Telling You About Your Glasses

Despite the fact that many people, after their eye exams, go out and buy glasses or contacts, there are things the general population hasn’t been told.

You see, no matter what your current condition, the continued use of corrective lenses can actually contribute to the deterioration of your vision. This is because corrective lenses are a crutch that your eyes are trained to rely upon.
As a result, it is difficult to strengthen your eyes if you are constantly supporting them by external means (i.e., glasses or contacts). Actually, research shows that glasses and contacts can rapidly *worsen* your vision.

These facts are supported by the studies of two respected eye doctors. Here’s what they have to say about the use of corrective lenses.

* Dr. M. H. Birnbaum states in the Review of Optometry, “Single-vision minus lenses for full-time use produce accommodative insufficiency associated with additional symptoms until the patient gets used to the lens. This is usually accompanied by a further increase in myopia and the cycle begins anew.”

* Dr. Samuel Druker writes in the Optical Journal Review, “From a clinical point of view, the conclusion would seem inescapable that minus lenses are an important factor among the causes of progressive myopia.”

In other words, glasses and contacts can actually make your vision worse over time. Is that something you want to risk with your eyesight?
