Don’t forget to celebrate Autumn!!  Go for a walk – with your kids and your dogs.  Try to walk everyday, it’s so good for you, including your eyes.

#1:  Wearing Glasses or Contacts

Some highly respected doctors have stated the following about the continued use of glasses and contacts:

“Minus lenses are the most common approach, yet the least likely to prevent further myopic (nearsighted) progression. Unfortunately, they increase the near-point stress that is associated with progression.”

-B. May, OEP Publications

“The emphasis on compensatory lenses has posed a problem for many years in our examinations. These lenses do not correct anything and may not serve the patient in his best interests over a period of time.”

-CJ. Forkiortis, OEP Curriculum

“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.”

-M.H. Birnbaum, Review of Optometry.

Now, glasses are a great fix for many people, but the fact is they are a crutch. Glasses do not repair your vision. They simply put a band-aid over the condition.

Have you ever gone in for an eye-exam and had the doctor say: “great news, your vision improved another 2 diopters. Looks like you need a lower prescription.”

I didn’t think so!

Glasses are a “prescription,” and like any prescription drug, they can be abused. You must learn how to use your glasses as a tool to help rehabilitate your eyesight, rather than continue to contribute to its deterioration.
