Whether computers and television play a big part in failing eyesight is debatable. We were though originally "hunter gatherers" and our eyes were for distance focusing. It is only in the last few hundred years as we have learnt to read and write that our focus has changed, and now more than ever the majority of us do close work. However if we do eye exercises on a regular basis it’s possible to retard the onset of diminishing eye sight by several years. It may also be possible to greatly improve eye sight that is poor due only to age by doing simple eye exercises.
The Rebuild Your Vision Program is a natural vision improvement system that is helping thousands to improve and restore their vision without surgery. A breakthrough method is helping thousands of people to improve their vision and bad eyesight thanks to this natural vision correction system. Real, documented results have shown dramatic vision improvement in just 30 days. "My overall vision has improved during the 30 day course which I've just completed. Consequently, I no longer need glasses for reading or the computer..." - Steve Cooper If you would like to try this natural method just click the link below. Here's an example of one of the 8 different eye
|
| Step 1: | Refer to the image above labelled "#3 - 3 CUPS." You will also need a pen or pencil. |
| Step 2: | Sit relaxed and adjust your chair so that you are 12 to 24 inches from the computer monitor at eye level. If the image is not perfectly clear to you, that's all right, as long as you can make out the image. |
| Step 3: | Hold the pen vertically between the two circles approximately 1 inch from the screen. The top of the pen should be at the same level as the image. |
| Step 4: | Focus on the top of the pen as you slowly bring it toward your face. (Refer to Figure 3.2 below.) As you bring the pen closer to your face you will notice the two circles appear to become three circles. When it appears that the three circles are all the same shape and proportion, stop moving the pen. |
| Step 5: | Try to shift your focus from the pen to the centre circle. This may be difficult and could take a few days to master. If you have trouble doing this, refer to "Troubleshooting" below. |
| Step 6: | Once you can focus on the centre circle, move your pen away while maintaining your focus. Try to see the centre circle as clearly as possible. As you increase your focus you will notice that the centre circle becomes three-dimensional. It will look as if you were peering down into a Styrofoam cup. (Refer to Figure 3.3 below.) |
| Step 7: | Your final goal for Level 1 is to look at the two circles and create the three circles, the centre one appearing three-dimensional, without using your pen. Once you can easily achieve this, proceed to level 2 as described in the Rebuild Your Vision daily training routine. |
| Level 2: | Continue to levels 2 and 3 of the 3 Cups eye exercise as detailed in the Rebuild Your Vision Program |
And if you have any difficulties (which people rarely do)...
There's troubleshooting tips like
these to help you along the way...
Helpful Tip #1: If you have trouble creating the third
circle.
Move closer or farther from the monitor. Also, your eyes may have
become tired very quickly, so briefly look away or perform the Distant Night eye
exercise to refresh your eyes.
Helpful Tip #2: If you see four circles.
Focus closer to the tip of your nose. Bring the pen closer to your face and keep
your eyes focused on it. This should transform the four circles into three.
Another option is to move a few inches farther from the monitor.
Helpful Tip #3: If you cannot focus on the centre circle.
If you can see the centre circle but have trouble focusing on it
without the pen, be assured that this is normal when you're first performing
this eye exercise. Focus on the top of the pen, then slowly look over it at the
centre circle. Keep going back and forth between the two until you are able to
focus on the centre circle without the pen.

The same goes for eye exercises as all other exercises, it is not just exercising that your eyes need, but they also need the right nourishment. The old saying from WWll that "carrots will help you see in the dark", is not far from the truth! What you might not want to hear is that red meat is also good for the eyes. As always a good balanced diet is what you need.
The Ocu-Plus Formula is a proprietary blend of 17 of the highest grade nutrients that research has shown are essential in improving the clarity of your eyesight and protecting your visual system. Specifically designed to improve your vision health, prevent cataracts, restore the clarity of your eyesight, improve macular degeneration, and prevent glaucoma.
It is worth a visit just to see what the 17 vitamins and minerals are. Finding the natural ingredients could be challenging; this is a convenient way to nourish the eyes.
The simplest of eye exercises is to blink! Yes, that's it blink. This simple act washes and massages the lens of your eye. Just consciously blink several times when you change your focus, when looking up form your book or the TV for instance.
Two eye exercises that can be beneficial in maintaining good eye health are palming and focusing. Palming helps to keep the cornea from hardening, and can be very helpful for soothing tired eyes. Focusing, this exercises the muscles around the cornea that are responsible for just that, focusing the eye.
At rest, your lens has a convex shape that allows you to focus at a distance. This is the fireman waiting and there is a sag in the catcher. Now if the person jumps they all pull out so the catcher becomes flat and tight. The firemen are like the muscles around the lens. If you want to focus on a close object the muscles pull the lens flat
The problem is that as we get older and/or we do a lot of close work, the lens becomes stiff, and the muscles get weaker, so focusing is harder.
The simple solution is to wear glasses, that will do the focusing for you, like getting in the car instead of walking. If we send our eyes to the gym and do eye exercises, this needn’t happen.
For this exercise you will need to focus on three objects. If you wear glasses, take them off for this exercise and the objects need not be in clear focus.
One object should be in the distance such as a building or tree. Another object in the middle distance; about half way between you and the first object. Then the third is a pencil or your finger held up about a hand span from your nose.
Lining up all three objects, focus on the distant object, then the middle and then the closest. Now go back the other way, only spending a few seconds on each object. Now move at random between the objects. Rest your eyes every few minutes by palming.
This exercise is to give the eye its more natural work of scanning the distance for prey or danger.
If you are outside then you can start from your left and trace the horizon with your eye, going up and down along the edge of each object that breaks the horizon, then work your way back. Palm and then repeat.
If in the city and there is no horizon, then pick a building as far away as practical and trace around its edges. then trace the windows and entrance.
If you are inside, look to the farthest part of the room and trace around any objects you see. Around a picture, notice board or furniture.
Just keep the eyes flowing in as smooth a path as possible. Keep this up for two minutes then palm and repeat.
If you do a lot of close work then try to look up and refocus on more distant objects as often as possible. If you can do these eye exercises for fifteen minutes, twice a day you may prolong good eye sight for many years or recover a great deal of clarity you may have lost.
