Eyesight and eye health is an interesting topic. Some eye health professionals would “swear on their license and burn it if I’m wrong” that it is impossible to improve vision naturally, and that only glasses, contacts or surgery can help poor eyesight (this was the attitude of the first eye optometrist we visited). Others experts say that there are some things that can be done to improve vision but that they take dedication and time.
Most people who wear glasses or contacts will eventually have to get stronger prescriptions over time as vision continues to decline. But does it have to?
Can Eyesight Improve?
I have yet to meet anyone who wears prescription glasses or contacts and doesn’t wish they had better vision. The idea of an alternative to glasses or contacts is definitely appealing.
I never bothered to research the validity of any alternative methods of improving eyesight until my own daughter was diagnosed with some mild vision problems and prescribed glasses. (I was the weird kid who always wished I needed cute glasses or colored contacts, but I always had great vision.)
My daughter was devastated at the idea of wearing glasses, so I decided to research alternatives to see if any of them were legitimate. As I expected, I found a lot of conflicting information, but some of the methods were at least worth a try, and they certainly would not cause any harm.
After reading a study by Vanderbilt University School of Medicine that was published in the Journal of the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus which showed that regular Optometrists prescribed glasses 35% of the time, while pediatric ophthalmologists prescribed glasses only 2% of the time because they recognized that glasses could actually make the problem WORSE, especially when used at a young age, I decided to get a second opinion from a specialist. (1)
I certainly didn’t want my daughter to face a lifetime of glasses, especially if they could actually make her vision worse over the long term!
After consulting with an eye specialist and determining that her vision did not appear to be getting worse without glasses, we decided to follow an eye relaxation and exercise program for a trial period to see if it would help her. Her vision (and her slight strabismus) have improved and continue to do so. I plan to post her vision test results before and after once we’ve fully improved her vision.
Eye Exercises for Relaxation
While researching, I read of an eye doctor, Dr. Bates, who over 90 years ago wrote of natural ways to improve eyesight and was infamous for smashing his patients’ glasses on an anvil in his office so they would no longer wear them. I’m sure the glasses smashing didn’t do much for his popularity, but many patients flocked to him with the hope of avoiding glasses and he was convinced that with proper exercise and relaxation, eyesight could improve in some cases.
His theory was based on the idea that the muscles that surround the eye can become unbalanced and cause strain or even pull the eye to one side or another, leading to vision problems. Many modern ophthalmologists argue with this idea, saying that it is the rods and cones in the eye that determine vision problems and that muscle tightness does not affect vision, (though there is now some evidence that relaxation practices CAN help since increased use of electronics with screens is taxing to the eyes and does cause strain).
Strained Eye Muscles?
Logically, it seems that there could be a connection between eye strain or relaxation and eyesight, especially when we consider factors that can strain the eyes:
Reading for long periods of time, especially small print
Use of dim or artificial light or not enough exposure to natural light
Tension or strain of the eyes
Disproportionate amount of time spent looking at close up print/screens/pictures compared to things at a distance
Countries like Japan, Singapore, and China have high rates of vision problems in children
