Do Eye Exercises Really Work?
They work, but not as well as advertised on most websites. Most eye exercise programs on the Internet are simply the Bates Method repackaged. Positioning them as an alternative health approach for your eyesight is borderline false advertising. We will pick that up below. Also, most how to articles and how to instructions on YouTube are discussing the same thing. But it is a limited approach to improve your vision. So,
What Are Eye Exercises?
It's a way to exercise your eyes that is also known as vision therapy and eye training. Vision therapist rely on eye exercises when their patients need to improve their eye muscle control. For conditions such as convergence insufficiency, binocular vision, crossed eyes, and lazy eye. Also behavioral optometry and pediatric ophthalmologists apply them to improve the vision of children to delay the onset of vision problems. Behavioral optometrists use them to improve the visual perception and depth perception.What Do Eyesight Exercises Help With?
Most online programs advertise to treat myopia or nearsightedness. That's because this eye condition is the biggest market share they can grab. The truth is that you need a more holistic approach to cure myopia naturally. Pure eyes exercises are best for farsightedness, amblyopia, lazy eye, and cross eyes. They work best for conditions when the eye muscles became too weak. But they are also effective with depth perception and visual perception.How Do They Work?
The theory is that when an eye problem occurs, the eye muscles are not functioning correctly. The muscles are- too tense
- too weak
- out of balance
What Are The Benefits?
The most important benefit of eye therapy is eye strain relief. In today's world computer eye strain is a common problems. With hours of computer work per day, relieving eye strain is a great plus.
Eye Exercises Are Not Enough Because They Don't Balance Out The Entire Visual System. Your Eye Problems Have Underlying Root Causes In Your Mind, Your Emotions, Your Body, And Your Eyes. Read The Article And Click This Image To Discover Simple Ways To Improve Your Eyesigh.
What Are Some Eye strengthening Exercises?
The most popular set of exercises is very simple:- keep you head facing straight ahead at all times, only move your eye throughout the exercises.
- Slowly move your eyes on the horizontal plane to look over your left shoulder until you feel a comfortable stretch in your eye muscles. Hold there to a count of 5.
- Slowly mover your eyes horizontally to look over your right shoulder until you feel a stretch. Hold for 5.
- Do the same slow movement vertically to look over your head until you feel a stretch. Hold for 5.
- Slowly move your eyes horizontally down to look at your feet while holding your head straight. Feel the stretch and hold to 5.
- Keep you head straight, and slowly follow with your eyes an imaginary 8. Make sure the movement is smooth and even.
- Still with your head facing forward, now slowly follow with your eyes an imaginary infinity symbol (∞). Again, nice and smooth.
Are These Exercises Effective?
Truth to be told, eye exercises are the last element you need for natural vision correction. What most programs are missing is to address are underlying root causes for the vision problem. The stuff that is causing the eye muscles to perform incorrectly in the first place. These root causes appear in three areas of your life (listed in order of importance):- Your mental and emotional life
- Your chemical life (nourishment and toxicity in your body)
- Your body (that includes your physical body, and lastly your eyes)

Is Coffee Good For Your Eyes?
That's a great question. Because coffee is such an ingrained part of our daily lives by now... And the information around it is really confusing:
- some say it's great for the metabolism
- other say it's the devil himself in a liquid
- it's a highly addictive substance... but who cares, right? :-)
- it depletes your kidney energies and dopamine
- it's acidifying your blood PH
- non-organic is bathed in chemicals

What Truly Causes Myopia?
There are different ways to look at what causes myopia. The "experts view" and the higher levels of investigation. The difference lays in the amount of questions asked to establish the logic levels we are dealing with. Logic levels is a term used to describe how many times a question is asked to determine the most sophisticated level to look at a situation. When looking at myopia causes that would be a question like "what causes that?" or "why is this happening?". Unfortunately that process is cut short most of the time because we live a world of patching up symptoms, not treating the root causes of any physical issues. It pays better to sell recurring patches than to get rid of what's causing it.
What Causes Myopia?
Let's start with the "experts view". By that I mean how your eye specialist would explain the problem, if they do at all. Often you just get a prescription or a pair of glasses, but let’s see how they explain myopia causes.
How Is Myopia Caused At A Higher Level?
Something this image shows nicely is that the eyeball is elongated. In reality this is what moves the focal plane. So the question remaining, and never asked nor answered by eye specialist, is what causes the prolonged eyeball in the first place?
To understand the higher logical levels of myopia, it's important to understand the eye muscles. It's all explained in the article.
The Multi Billion Dollar Question
The question the ophthalmic industry, your optometrist, optician, eye specialist, or however you call them avoid at all cost is, “What causes the chronic tension in the eye muscles that’s underlying the myopia causes?” Why multi billion dollar question? Because if they dealt with these underlying root causes and healed your eyesight, the industry would lose the $50+ billion dollars that it turns over each and every year – in the US alone. And optometrists would not earn the recurring income that makes up part of their above average career predictions. So let’s examine;What causes chronic tension in other muscles in our body?
Simple answer: stress. All types of stress; physical stress, mental stress, financial stress, emotional stress, you name it. All of these create chronic muscle tension in some areas of your body. Some have it in the neck, some in the back, some in the arms, fingers, shoulder, and some in the eye. So what causes the stress in the eye muscles, rather than other parts of the body? Especially for high myopia. Great question!What Are The Causes For Myopia In The Eyes Muscles?
First of, we have to get into the meta-physical world. That word has gotten a bad rep lately with the film The Secret and the Law of Attraction. But leave these out of the picture. Meta-physical simply means “beyond the physical”. So what causes myopia beyond your physical body. That leaves only one place: our mind. Your mind is the determining factor of where the stress accumulates. With vision it’s very easy. What you don’t want to see, you won’t.The Black Out Phenomenon
Myopia manifests in the eyes when you have issues seeing yourself in the future. It used to be common that kids got myopia at the end of high school, or the end of university. Why? Because that’s when they had problems for to see themselves in the future. At these points in your life you have to make a few rather important decisions:- what you want to do for the rest of your life. You have to decide which job to apply for. If you don’t want to look at that, the tension of the stress manifests in your eyes, and viola, there you got it. You literally can’t see into the distance.
- who to chose as your partner to spend the rest of your life with. Which mate would be best for your happiness, to exchange genes with (yes, we still unconsciously make that decision), and who would be best to take care of your when you are in old age. Again, if you can't see that person, you black out your vision into the distance.
- how to make ends meet. This one is getting more important every day because the rates of children above 30 still living with their parents is at record highs right now.
“Selective Seeing”
If we want to black out something, we literally can do that. Since we see in the mind, not the eyes, we can black out. We only perceive the light in the eye, but our mind assembles the picture we see. Your mind is powerful, so powerful that it can decide where it sends your tension to achieve the result it needs. If you don’t want to look into the future because it’s scary, you won’t. The decision is made meta-physically, beyond the physical, but manifests on the physical plane. Myopia causes you to black out what you don’t want to look at.The Underlying Root Causes For Myopia
Can glasses, contacts, or eye surgery get rid of what's causing myopia in your mind. Nope! That’s why you get stronger glasses after a while, and that’s why conditions return after eye surgery. If you don’t remove what’s causing the problem, it’s gonna come back. You wanted to black it out, so your mind continues to do that. Who asks shall receive. This is one example of an underlying root cause. There are others like tight shoulders, toxic liver, toxic kidneys, inflexible neck and back. All of these cause disruptions to proper functioning eyes. All of these cause myopia. That's what we call "The Triangle of Sight".What Is The Triangle Of Sight?
The basic premise of the of the Triangle of Sight is that you eye problems have underlying root causes in three areas of your life:- Your Mental/Emotional Life
- Your Chemical Life (Nourishment & Toxicity)
- Your Physical Life (Your Body & Your Eyes)

Unique Correction For Myopia
Myopia correction exists for a lot longer than eye surgery. It was used by almost every native culture in the world. They had to have techniques, otherwise their existence would have been under threat.
What Is Myopia Correction?
Today most people only know about glasses, contact lenses, and eye surgery as ways to correct myopia, but that's not entirely true. Imagine this; one of our ancestors browsing through the fields. Hunting weapon in hand. The grass is moving 100 meters away, but he is shortsighted. He can’t make out what it is. Is it his hunting buddy, is it pray, or maybe a predator trying to hunt him down. He wouldn’t have a clue because he can’t make it out.Ancient Techniques To Correct Myopia
Our ancestors knew how important their distance vision was and they had great motivation to maintain and fix it. Now they didn’t have glasses, let alone contacts or eye surgery. Glasses are only around since 1855, and eye surgery since 50 odd years. Today’s surgical methods exist only since 1998 and have never been tested properly. That aside, what did our ancestors do to cure myopia?How To Correct Myopia Naturally?
Something totally “new age”, some voodoo techniques that only strange people on the Internet discuss: eye exercises. That’s right, this “new fad” on the net has been around for millennia as a way to improve myopia. Around the world, many cultures used the same techniques. So why don’t we, why do we wear annoying glasses?How Do Eyeglasses Work?
It all started in 1855 when German physicist Herman Helmholtz studied optics and tried to understand our eyes. When he did so, research tools were rather primitive, and he decided that people get shortsighted when the lens is shaped too steeply. Being a physicist into optics he came up with the idea that you just put another lens in front of the eye to offset the distortion. That does work, but it doesn’t correct myopia. Does a crutch help you to walk when you have a twisted ankle? Of course it does, but crutches don’t correct the ankle. Same thing applies.How Does Laser Eye Surgery Work?
The idea of eye surgery that you make the change in the lens permanent and scrape something off. Today a laser burns it off, but conceptually it’s the same. Does it work? For a while, but the root cause is still there, so it don’t last very often. Especially not for high myopia. 2 -5 years, and the conditions return. That’s why eye surgery is under scrutiny again since 2008.How Do Eye Exercises Correct Myopia?
Along came an ophthalmologist, an eye doctor, Dr William Bates, and he observed what the Native American Indians did to improve their eyesight. He studied it, did a ton of research with a lot of people, and he discovered that the wrong shape of the lens comes from tension in the eye muscles that are attached to the eyeball. He had more sophisticated tools than Helmholtz, and he actually understood the eye. He studied it all his life. He then applied these techniques to improve myopia with his patients and recorded the results. He presented them to his peers, and got lobbied out! The ophthalmic industry did not want to know how to get rid of myopia because glasses were making to much money for them.Why Are Eye Exercises Not Enough?
The reason eye exercises come across as “New Age” thingy is that lots of people copied and republished Dr Bates' eye exercises as eBook on the internet. Many people claim they don’t work, and in today’s society they are partly right. In today's world eye exercises only work when they are performed regularly. If you stop, the effects can easily diminish because the underlying root cause of what is causing your myopia in the first place is not address. When our ancestors lived, and even when Bates did his research at the beginning of the 20th century life was different. Food was different. Stress was different. People used their body and their eyes differently. People worked and travelled differently. All of that affects myopia as well.Why Are Myopia Exercises Ineffective Today?
For example back when Bates was around doing his research, food was grown organically and without chemicals. Water was still clean, and there was no environment pollution from two world wars, many other wars, nuclear energy production, and many other factors around. Also our lifestyle has changed dramatically in the last 40 years, which is the exact reason why myopia has skyrocketed in that same period of time. We have to deal with lifestyle changes and environmental factors, Bates and our ancestors did not face. Today effective correction for myopia has to include the health of your liver, your colon, your physical body, your joints, our blood flow, and many other factors. Life has changed, so we have to adopt, too. To cure myopia we have to change course.What's The Most Common Correction Method For Myopia?
Unfortunately it is glasses and contacts, followed by laser eye surgery. None of these methods truly correct myopia though. Otherwise the correction would be long-term. With glasses and contacts we know for sure that there is no improvement because you never get weaker glasses. If anything improved, your prescription would get weaker and weaker until it's gone. When was the last time that has happen to you? Exactly! With eye surgery the effectiveness is much harder to track. The official numbers of the FDA put the rate of patients that get glasses again at 50%. That's the numbers the FDA officially reports, so it's safe to assume the real numbers are higher than that.What Is The Best Correction For Myopia?
One thing that remains constant is that you can improve your vision naturally, and that glasses, contacts, and eye surgery are NOT meant to get rid of myopia. They are meant to generate recurring revenue.

Why Does Your Prescription Change So Often?
Good question! If glasses improved your eyesight your prescription should get lower over time, right? Then it'd make sense. You'd just get weaker and weaker glasses until they are gone... but when did that ever happen to you..? Exactly! So, why do they get stronger over time? Because optometrists regularly overprescribe... meaning you get glasses that are too strong. That's why you get the headaches with new glasses for 2 or 3 days... Your eyes just get used to the too strong glasses... So, why do you get glasses that are too strong? What most people fail to realize is that your eyesight is dynamic. It changes constantly throughout the day! You may have -2 (or +2, or a certain IOP, whatever... it all comes down to the same thing) in the morning. Then mid-morning have a really strong coffee with a lot of sugar and milk... So for 30 minutes your eyesight will be great. It'll be sharp. You'll feel great. You'll see crystal clear... so it'd be around -1 (+1, etc...) Then the sugar crash sets in... the caffeine wears off... and slowly your eyesight gets worse again... Back to -2... and then the liver has to deal with the sugar and milk... meaning, your eyes get less energy than they should... and now you are down to -3! (The numbers are arbitrary examples to illustrate the point. The same fluctuation happens with plus-glasses, eye pressure, astigmatism, eyestrain, floaters, etc) So, if you come to your eye test after the sugar crash, you'd get way too strong glasses this time around! There are many factors that influence your test:
- anxiety during the test (that you could get stronger glasses... the self-fulfilling prophecy)
- what you ate
- the eye drops making you nervous
- you feel pressure to get the test right
- a shitty night... lol
- fight with your spouse /boss/friend/coworker
- stress
- all kids had perfect vision for some time throughout the day
- NO child had perfect vision all day long!
- eat very light and healthy (salads and light snacks) all day before the test
- drink loads of high-quality spring water from a glass bottle
- have a strong coffee just before the test starts ;)

A Miraculous Little Stingy Plant To Support Eyesight
Remember when you were a child... you used to play at lakes or rivers. It's such great fun in summer. You rolled up your pants. Put your feet in the water... Built dams. Watched the fishes. Watch the birds fly by... And sometimes, when you didn't watch your step carefully enough, you'd step right into it... stingy nettles growing on the side... And that's very painful with pants rolled up... But those little stingy bastards have amazing healing properties for your eyesight and health. Because it's very high in Silica. One of the most important nutrients for great health. Silica is important because it's one of the two minerals your body needs to make calcium. So it's important for your nails, your hair, your bone density, and your kidney health. Because your kidneys need minerals to thrive. They need minerals to function properly. And a healthy kidney is a cornerstone for healthy eyesight... If your kidneys are low in minerals, they can't do their job. And that has a huge impact on your eyesight... So, in today's world, food is depleted of essential nutrients. The soil is so overused that plants can't draw the minerals they need anymore. (Unless, of course, you buy from a local, organic farmer who nourishes his soil.) That's why most people today have compromised kidneys. Now that's not a problem like kidney failure or dialysis. But it's enough to impact your eyesight. So how can you use nettle: There are quite a few ways to use the plant. Here are two that you can use at home easily. 1. Juice It: If you have a good juicer that can juice green leaves, that's an excellent option. It'll be a super health potion for your nails, hair, and skin... and your eyesight and health! 2. Boil a Tea: You can get dried, lose nettle to make tea in most health shops today. It's cheap and readily available. It's the easiest way to get this into your body. Brew it overnight to get the most nutrients into your tea. Sweeten to taste and off you go. Your eyes and body will thank you for it! As usual, let me know what you think in a comment below. Any questions, just ask below...

Why Did You Get Eye Problems In The First Place?
"Why Did I Get Eye Problems In The First Place?" Great question! Is it genetic? Is it because you read too much? Is it because you don't use enough light at night? Or is it because of computers? Science can't find a connection to genetics. Any research study into that direction shows the opposite. Within the same gene pool, other factors cause eye problems. So it's not because your parents have it. Or because "it runs in the family"... Reading, light, and computers also didn't prove to be a factor. There isn't a study available that connects computer use, reading, or bad light to eye problems. Yet, whenever a study is done to research one of these aspects, another factor comes up: Lifestyle! Stress, diet, and posture continue to show definite reasons. So when we talk about hereditary eye conditions, it's more the habits we inherit than the genes. You see, before you were even three years old, all you did was observing your parents. Everybody does the same. It's called modelling. In that age bracket, we have no conscious faculties in our mind to analyze if our parents' habits are serving them or not. That's where the "oh, you are just like your mom" or "you are just like your dad" comes from. We take on the way we deal with stress. We model their posture. And we like the foods they like, just because they do. And that is the key to inheriting eye conditions. But the other factor is much harder to detect. Your optic nerve enters right into your emotional brain. It's the Old Brain that doesn't think. It's only concerned with your survival. Because of that, every eye problem has an emotional pattern attached to it. Some are fear of the future. Others are resentment of the past. Or dwelling on the should have's and could have's in life. And then there is a dislike of the self. With some eye conditions you just try to avoid seeing an aspect of yourself, you are not happy about. Now go back to the time you got your first pair of glasses. The day that you found out that you have eye problems. Go another two years back. Within that timeframe, within these two years, analyze what happened to you emotionally. What was upsetting to you? How did you get hurt? That's the true starting point of your eye problem! Whatever eye condition you have, there is an emotional underlying reason for it. Uncover that, and you at least know what to work with. Of course, that's something we do in-depth in the Pure Vision Method™... Does this make sense? If not, ask questions in a comment below. If yes, let me know if you can pinpoint that moment in your life.

Do Your Eyes Have Guts?
Yesterday was not the most inspiring content we shared... but it's essential to know. So you can stay with good eyesight and even better health. It's the world we live in... So today, let's have a look at an overlooked topic that can really charge your eyesight and health. You see, the food industry has led us to believe some strange things. We buy stuff that looks like food, but when we read the ingredients list, it sounds like a NASA manual. Seriously, have you read the ingredients panel of your bread lately? What does most of the stuff even mean? Sadly, some really nasty things... But, I promised to keep is positive today. So with the concept of how food should look like, standardized and sparkly shiny, we got the idea that some foods are bad. That some foods are rotten, even though they can be your greatest ally in this crazy world. I mean fermented foods! Yes, sauerkraut, kefir, thick milk, and really smelly cheeses made from raw milk! Real yogurt and real, alive fermented vegetables. When these foods ferment, they build good bacteria. The type that will help your gut to stay healthy. It's the probiotic bacteria that will build your immune system. And it's the probiotic bacteria that will make your digestive system work. And work well... Yes, it's the same little bacteria they sell in capsules today. The only difference is that your body actually knows what to do with the food. With the supplements, it may, but it may not. Many of the probiotic supplements are genetically modified organisms. So you should better stay away from them. Now, these foods are traditional to all cultures. Every single culture has some traditional food that is fermented. Because it was a way to preserve food and to store it. The bacteria eat the sugar that would spoil the food. And the environment preserves the food. So, if you went to a health food store lately, you can see that they sell many of these products for horrendous amounts of money. Seriously, a little bag of alive sauerkraut for like $12... Just do this:
- buy an organic cabbage
- run it through your food processor with the slicing attachment (to cut really thin slices)
- mix it in a bowl with a couple of teaspoons of sugar and salt (you may use your hands to mix...)
- stuff it into a large pot
- push it down strongly with a spoon, so the cabbage gets a bit mashed
