Reading

Yes, reading a book, newspaper, or anything up close can  make your vision permanently worse!

“Myopia” or nearsightedness (the inability to see distant objects  clearly) now affects more than 30% of the U.S. population.

The leading cause of its progression: “Near-Point  Stress” – a condition that’s highly preventable.

Although most of the time you don’t feel the damage being done,  I’m sure you’ve felt near point stress. It’s the pain and discomfort in your eyes after hours of reading,  studying, or any prolonged close vision activity.

The American Optometric Association defines the cause of nearsightedness as follows:

“There is also growing evidence that nearsightedness may be caused by the stress of too much close vision work.
It normally first occurs in school age children. Since the eye continues to grow during childhood,nearsightedness generally develops before age 20…”

-American Optometric Association

Here it is – plain as vanilla – the American Optometric Association telling you that too much close vision work causes over 30% of the U.S. population to wear glasses.

Think about everyone you know that wears glasses or contacts (for distance vision). These people very likely:

  • Are  educated (lots of studying = near point stress).
  • Have a job that requires a lot of time on the computer (another near point stress).
  • Or, may simply be intently focused individuals who engage themselves in a project, book, or video game for hours upon hours without ever looking up. (Any
    prolonged near point activity can cause near point stress).

Close vision work is now a part of our daily lives. We cannot  change that.

Reason 1 Of 7 Reasons For Vision Deterioration

#1:  Wearing Glasses or Contacts

Vision Improvement
Exercises. Astonishing and
Amazing Program

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.
