Question: Are there therapies to help me read again without glasses?

Answer: Many people with excellent eye sight discover their vision beginning to fail in their 40's and 50's. It is a shock to discover that small print is impossible to read, there is never enough light and your arms are never long enough! This is where the troublesome dependency on reading glasses begins! Can you turn back the clock or at least slow the ticking? What can be done?

The first step is good nutrition. Colorful foods will help give us colorful vision and reduce eye strain. Choose fresh fruits and vegetables which have bright colors. These are rich in antioxidants and bioflavonoids which are essential for healthy vision. Avoid foods that are toxic to your body and of course avoid alcohol and, if you have the unfortunate habit, do everything possible to stop smoking.

The second step is exercise. Dr. William Bates, a famous vision therapist, discovered that all eye disease is caused by stress around the eye. He believed that by reducing this stress dependency on glasses could be reduced or even eliminated. He developed several eye exercises to reduce stress and improve vision. For more information on the Bates exercises read chapter three in Healing the Eye the Natural Way.

Step three: heal your eyes from within with homeopathy. Homeopathy is a system of medicine which stimulates the body to heal itself. There are several homeopathic remedies that are useful for reducing eye strain and improving vision. One of these is Ruta which can help reduce eye strain and relieve the headaches from over worked eyes.

And finally, Step four: science to the rescue! There is a new procedure to turn back the clock and give you back your young reading eyes. The procedure is called Conductive Keratoplasty or CK. It is a recently approved FDA procedure. It uses no laser and no cutting is involved. How does it work? Radio frequency waves are delivered to the outer part of the eye. These waves reshape the cornea to improve reading vision. Over 14,000 procedures have been performed with an extremely high success rate. If you are over the age of 40, have had good vision all your life and now need reading glasses (and you hate them) this procedure may be just what you are looking for!

Attend a Healing the Eye and Wellness Seminar to begin to restore your eyesight and clarity of vision. These one and three day seminars focus on nutrition, homeopathy, stress reduction, meditation, the mind body connection and yoga for your eyes. Nutritional and Homeopathic evaluations along with treatments such as massage, acupuncture, microcurrent stimulation and chelation therapy will be available during the three day seminar.
