Rebuild Your Vision – Can you afford NOT to try it out?

When a person has stopped growing, and their eyes are progressively getting worse, it is probable because what is called “near point stress”. At risk: office workers who work on their computers all day long, also students researching and chatting with friends online. And, Facebookers, who sit for hours and write back and forth.

What about avid television/movie watchers.  When you wear  corrective lenses, contacts or glasses, then the muscles of your eye can only be can only be resting when you are looking at an object a minimum of about 20 feet away.  So how often does an office worker, a facebooker, a student actually look away from the screen or TV.?  Not too often, we know that.

If you focus on anything, like a monitor, sceen,book at less than twenty feet, then your eyes will actually have to accommodate to do that – that is they have to actually change the muscles to focus at less than that 20 feet.

So, when you work or study, you spend hours with your eyes pulled into one position.  Just imagine yourself taking your fist and clenching it, and keeping it clenched for hours and hours at a time. Maybe even doing that all day/ or all evening long. Then, try and open that clenched fist.  It doesn’t work that easy, you fingers will be stiff and non responsive.

The same happens with your eyes.  After hours of near focus, they will not be able to relax and work properly at distant focusing.  And then after months, weeks of this kind of near focusing you will receive a new prescription change.  And then when you hit your forties, your muscles will likely break down more and you will need bifocals.

Because of this, always choose to get the weakest prescription glasses possible.  The stronger prescription glasses that you have, the harder your eyes will have to work when you are doing your near sighted work.  In fact, it might be a good idea to wear a weaker pair of glasses while doing “near” work.  This is kind of like making a loose fist, instead of that tight fist we talked about. This will make it much easier to change to distant “looking”, and therefore not worsening your eyes.  If you wear contacts, consider changing them to reading glasses for certain occasion.

And, there is one more important thing you can do to help yourself. Every ten minutes, take a break and just look down the street through a window, or at a far away object  for a few seconds, or look at something across the room, or down the hall, or wherever you can look away to that is a fair distance away, like about 20 feet or even more.
