Diet? No. Brock string exercises yes. Nearsightedness is usually caused by an imbalance between both eyes. This has been known for quite some time actually. Look up the Bates method. It works, and almost anyone can correct their vision to some degree with the proper exercise techniques.

Yeah asthma is different, like diabetes where many can control it with diet alone...there's no eye inhaler or medicine (or diet) for nearsightedness though.

For centuries, carrots have been connected with health benefits. In the Middle Ages, carrots were believed to cure anything from sexually transmitted diseases to snakebites [source: Kruszelnicki]. Carrots became associated with vision, particularly night vision, during World War II. The British Royal Air Force published a story that said skilled fighter pilot John "Cats' Eyes" Cunningham could thank a steady diet of carrots for his night vision flying prowess. In response to the story, many British people began to grow and eat more carrots. They wanted to improve their vision so that they could see better during the compulsory blackouts that were common during World War II. Although Cats' Eyes' carrot eating made for a great story, it was, in fact, propaganda put out to conceal the fact that the Royal Air Force's was actually using radar to locate Luftwaffe bombers during the night [source: Kruszelnicki].

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
I have noticed this past year that I am becoming farsighted. I have an appointment next week to see just how bad it is. I can't see shit that is fine print unless it is a good foot and a half away from me. Then everything is clear. I wonder if I increased the amount of what ever, it would help. I just assumed it was because I was hitting 40, so I expected shit to start falling apart. This fine tuned car just isn't as fine tuned as I thought :(
 Quoting: CrazyMama73


Farsightness is a result of aging, usually, and not quite the same source as nearsightedness - which nearly all young people get now :\

Farsightendess can be cured with the same methods, but it's the reverse - optically - so the tools of the methods are different.

You can find guides online about that too.

I have used the Bates method and my own methods for 15 years. I went from 20/200 to 20/50 but NEVER was able to get better than 20/50 until I radically changed my diet.

Also it took for EVER to get my initial improvements.

The point here is that if you radically change your diet, it will get MUCH easier and faster to improve your vision.

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
Kale rocks! I've recently learned - sort of - to make kale chips, and they're SUPER delicious!

Just buy a bag of chopped, triple-washed kale, so you don't have to wash it. Wet kale will make it not cook right.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Since it's pre-chopped, you can just sprinkle it right out of the bag onto a cookie sheet or two. Take about a half tablespoon or tablespoon of olive oil for each sheet, drizzle over kale, and take a few seconds to rub the oil into the kale pieces.

Pop cookie sheets into oven and cook for 20 or so minutes. Voila! You have a super healthy snack that apparently will also improve your vision. Whatta deal!

Improving your micro bloodcirculation in your eyes by using ginko biloba drops or capsules has certainly improved my eyesight!
I believe ginko is even helpful in cases of macular degeneration, for as the bloodsupply improves, more nutrients reach the eyes, hence degeneration of optic cells is halted or even reversed !

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
Really though, a lot of nearsighted people suffer from an untreated casee of amblyopia, and correcting the condition actually cures something more ...

It allows people with stereo blindness to see the world in 3d. Odds are, I you're nearsighted then you also likely suffer from the inability to perceive the world in 3d. I know, it sounds far-fetched but look it up yourself and if you are nearsighted, don't worry about the diet stuff. It helps, but it isn't the pancea. Eye patching your dominant eye for a couple days, and doing 15 minutes of Brock string exercises WILL not only CURE nearsightedness, but also allow you to experience the world in a different way. Your coordination will increase 10-fold, and you feel more connected "physically", allowing you see why you always sucked at sports .

After you complete training your eyes,, you will realize - the eye of Horus is a blessing and a curse, and no eye doctor
Will tell you these things, because it affects their bottom line.


Wearing glasses is makes the condition worse. I wish I could push my comment to the top, because eating kale and carrots won't do shit, unless you perform the right exercises along with it.

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
We need to evaluate HOW we see.

The past 100 years, people have shifted to jobs (and recreation) that require single-pointed staring.

This staring, as well as stress and anxiety, causes the eyes muscles to contract - enough to cause the eyeball shape to be affected. It only takes a small amount of eyeball shape change to cause light to refract suboptimally on the retina - which equals blur, near/far sightedness.

It makes sense, the kale is probably strengthening these muscles and the overall eye health.

 Quoting: BRIEF


Yes, it is an alignment issue...which depends on the shape and length of the eye, and how the light refracts on the retina.

The eye muscles impact the shape of the eyeball. By strengthening, and relaxing, the eye muscles (which a diet can affect just like any muscle), it allows the eye to heal itself.

The laser - which I had done before I learned this stuff - is temporary. Because our bad habits of seeing, of staring and straining the muscles, will simply cause poor eyesight again. Research it - the guy who developed LASIK went on record saying he regrets he put that technology out there.

Most people who have had lasik started needing glasses again after a few years. They even tell you that after 40, you could develop farsightedness worse than if you don't get lasik.

Eyesight happens in the brain. It really is a function of the brain, helped by the eyes.
There are more neurons in the digestive system than in the brain.
It makes sense to me that there could be a correlation between having a healty digestive system ('the second brain') and vision which occurs in the actual brain.

No gene has been isolated that is responsible for myopia. Heredity is only a theory.

Children born with myopia usually have an underlying issue that caused it.

Children who develop myopia later - by 10 years or so. This can be linked to staring, stress, anxiety, poor vision habits, etc

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
OP here. It's a very long typing session, but I can try to explain the mechanical methods I use to improve my eyesight.

I woke up this morning with clearer vision AGAIN, so I expect to be 20/20 within 2 months or less. This after 15 years stuck at 20/50.

First off, don't bother trying these exercises UNTIL you get on a whole food diet and eliminate wheat and dairy - and sugar. Just don't even bother.

Get the book "The genotype diet" by D'Addamo and get a full spectrum allergy test. Those two things will tell you what to eat and what not to eat.

After a month of religious adherence to your new lifestyle, do this:

**Note, this is for nearsightedness only - myopia. Not farsightedness - presbyopia.

If you have an astigmatism, this will fix it.

Right.

Go to you eye "doctor" and tell It you want a set of "computer" glasses that are not as strong as your regular glasses.

If you wear contacts, there are some additional tricks you can use, but also try to get a weaker set of them.

You are essentially going to wave bye bye to your old full prescription EXCEPT when you have to drive at night.

Here are the major points in brief:

1) As often as possible - even to the point of inconvenience - do NOT wear your prescription glasses - even your new weaker ones. The modern human subjects the eye to things that it was never designed to do. 6 hours straight of focusing on the computer or a book is going to mould the lens of the eye to only see close up.

2) As often as possible, focus on the horizon or as far in the distance as you can, no matter where you are or what you are doing.

3) Go to wallmart and get 3 pairs of reading glasses from the spinning racks near the pharmacy. Get a +1.0, a +2.0 and a +3.0 set.

4) Do not EVER read or use the computer with your full prescription. ALWAYS use either your weak "computer" prescription or wear the strongest pair of reading glasses you can possible use to complete your task.

5) Stop what you are doing and focus in the distance every few minutes - religiously!

6) As often as you can, remove all prescription lenses and do these exercises:

7) Go to a window and take a deep breath to relax and remember NEVER EVER EVER SQUINT. Squinting will ruin every thing. Just blink and take deep breaths. Focus on the horizon, then focus on something closer, like a roof top, then focus on the window glass, then focus back out to infinity.

At first, it will seem impossible, but you will catch glimpses of focus as your eye uses survival reflex to try and see again.

Most people do not possess the necessary dedication and perseverance to make any progress, but it it possible. I went from 20/200 to 20/50 in about a year, but I spent at least an hour per day doing exercises and reversed my bad habits 100%.

This meant walking around campus unable to recognize my friends even when they were 10 feet away, lol. It was NOT convenient, but I got accepted to Air Force pilot training, so it worked.

That's pretty much all there is to it, but you have to put in the hours and remember that WHENEVER you are doing a task at arm's length, ALWAYS wear combination of + reading glasses (from wallmart) that puts your vision at it's limits.

People with strong glasses who do not wear contacts will have HELL of a time at first. You will be unable to see a goddamn thing and it will seem impossible, but TRUST ME, if you can do the work, it will work.

All of you, just leaning back from the computer or pushing the book as far away as you can and still read it - barely.

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
**part two***

Now, the most aggravating thing that happens will be that you have some success but when doing the exercises only one eye will focus and the other will go out to lunch. This will make it seem like you've made your vision worse because your depth perception is non-existent.

The best thing to do, once you get a little more proficient with the exercises is to gently cover one eye and only exercise one at a time. Gently move your head in small circles and find edges to focus on.

I like to find a vertical line, like a lamp post and work on that for a while, then find horizontal lines like roof tops and power lines and work on that. Remember not to squish your covered eye, so it won;t be out of whack when you uncover it and need to use it :P. Just try to block out ALL light while you are doing it.

Also, get the book on the Bates method. It has good pointers for relaxation and mind games to play that help a little.

Once you are making good progress, the ultimate exercise is to stand at the window with a pair of reading glasses and try to focus through them until it feels like your eyeballs are going to explode. Then, take them off and you will be able to see your eyes fight rabidly to focus. Sometimes, you will magically see 20/20 for a few seconds - HOORAY!

At first, you can only do a few minutes per day and then your eyes will refuse to work anymore. This is normal. Just let them rest and do more later.

I am at the point where I can complete nearly all of my daily tasks in the house - even chopping vegetables - while wearing a pair of +3.0 reading glasses. If you try that now, you see that that is pretty ridiculous :P

Just put in the hours and it will work, bu be prepared for it to take a year.

Good luck!

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
...So lately I have been on a zero tolerance diet where I juice 16oz of organic vegetable juice every day and eat NOTHING in a package (that is the zero tolerance part).

I avoid all dairy and wheat and all snack products, but most importantly, my juice includes 3 or 4 large kale leaves and 1.5 lbs of carrots...The difference in my health is dramatic, but I did not expect to wake up one morning and notice how dirty my shower floor is. That was the first step.

...After 3 more day, I woke up and the shower filth was eve...

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
Oh I forgot about the additional tricks that people with contacts can use. With your contacts in, you can use any diopter of + reading glasses for the task at hand. Then, if you need to see clearly, you just remove the glasses.

So, around the office or studying you can wear a pair that just barely allow you to study or do your job, but then you can look over the top of them and see the great ass on the chick down the hall or whatever :P

Ultimately, you want your "computer" prescription to become your regular prescription and ever couple months you walk it down another .5 diopters or more. Then one day, you will be able to leave the house with NO corrective lenses at all - this is about 20/40 or so. Your vision will be MUCH better in broad daylight than at night.

True 20/20 vision is only when you can see razor sharp at night... this takes some real work.

Anyway, good luck!
