"What No One's Telling You When It Comes To Glasses & Contacts

Vision and its deterioration can actually be caused or at least made worse, by corrective lenses.

The following information might surprise you. It's from a series of e-mail lessons you can access free of charge from Vision for Life .

After their eye exams, most people are given some level of prescription for glasses or contacts. And like dutiful little sheep, we go out and buy them. In fact, I used to buy mine where the prescriptions were done. It was a case of "you can have any frame you like, so long as it's Gucci and amazingly expensive."

Despite that, or maybe because of the way the whole routine is worked, there are things the general population hasn't been told.

You see, no matter what your current condition, the continued use of corrective lenses can actually contribute to the deterioration of your vision. This is because corrective lenses are a crutch that your eyes are trained to rely upon.

As a result, it is difficult to strengthen your eyes if you are constantly supporting them by external means (i.e., glasses or contacts). Actually, research shows that glasses and contacts can rapidly worsen your vision. From my own very happy experience, I know that the simple, natural and economical Vision for Life program can dramatically improve your vision.

My sister, and my four brothers, were around visiting last our mother last Sunday. Actually, I live only twenty minutes away so I visit quite regularly, but you all know that last Sunday was Mother's Day - in Australia and the USA at least. Back to the story. I was reading something from the newspaper to underscore a point someone was making in some heated discussion when Hilary squealed - well, if not a squeal it was a high-pitched note of surprise - " Jeannette, where are your glasses? How come you can read that without them?"

I'd already mentioned to her about my eyesight recovery but we'd never been in a situation where she saw it for herself. We all (siblings, their partners and grown up children) started talking then about eyesight, drug companies, rip-off schemes, politics and so on. Don't worry, mother was in there with her extended family.

I told everyone again about Vision for Life and one of my brothers, and my son Vasilis, said I sounded like a preacher. Oh well. I'm excited.

Fortunately, I didn't start reeling off these facts to them. The fact that corrective lens speed up the deterioration of your vision is supported by the studies of two respected eye doctors. Here's what they have to say about the use of corrective lenses.

Dr. M. H. Birnbaum states in the Review of Optometry, "Single-vision minus lenses for full-time use produce accommodative insufficiency associated with additional symptoms until the patient gets used to the lens. This is usually accompanied by a further increase in myopia and the cycle begins anew." (emphasis added)
Dr. Samuel Druker writes in the Optical Journal Review, "From a clinical point of view, the conclusion would seem inescapable that minus lenses are an important factor among the causes of progressive myopia."

In other words, glasses and contacts can actually make your vision worse over time. Is that something you want to risk with your eyesight?

Think about it...
Have you ever gone in for an eye exam and heard the doctor say, "Great news! Your vision's improved another 2.0 diopters -- those glasses are really helping!"

I didn't think so!

Glasses are a "prescription," and, like a prescription drug, they can be abused.

So what can you do? Pay close attention...

Step One
You need to learn how to use your glasses so that they don't contribute to further vision loss. And here's how...
=================Essential Tip #1:=================
Throughout the day, think of your glasses as a tool and use them that way -- when you need them.

Put a piece of masking tape with a reminder on the base of your computer screen. Write a reminder on your bookmark.
=================Essential Tip #2=================
If you can't see the computer screen without glasses, try enlarging the font on your internet browser. There are tons more great vision tips and techniques in the Vision for Life program that could literally save your eyesight.

Step Two
After you've learned how to stop your vision from continually getting worse, step two is to begin improving your eyesight back to the clarity you once had.

You CAN improve your eyesight -- no matter whether you suffer from nearsightedness, aging eyes, or an astigmatism -- through the proven eye exercises as illustrated in the world-renowned Vision for Life program.

The Vision for Life program can dramatically improve your vision, saving you trouble, inconvenience, time, and hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars you would otherwise be spending on glasses or contacts.
You can learn all about the program at Vision for Life

for now, to your continued health, happiness and success

Welcome to my blog which will take you on a great journey lasting no more than thirty days.

At the end of that time, you'll either have thrown away your reading glasses and/or other prescription glasses, or you'll be wearing much lighter strength specs while your vision improves more in the coming months.

I am soooooo excited to never again have to search around for those glasses of mine. I hate the way I constantly had to take them on and off because if I read the menu with them in a restaurant, they blurred up the distant views, like the blackboard with the specials.

All a thing of the past since I did my very simple few exercises through the Vision For Life program. It's fantastic. As a person who has to research everything before I try it, believe me this is the most reasonably priced and high quality approach to improving your vision available.

Then again, don't believe me. I didn't when I first heard about it. I'd been ready to sign up for a program with a very reputable medical practitioner and just thought: "no, Jeannette. Before you part with a cent, do some more research."

No. I generally don't talk to myself. At least not so politely.

Did the research and this is it. Go to Google, MSN Yahoo etc and key in vision improvement or whatever you like. You won't find any program better than this one Vision For Life

For now. Relax your eyes by taking them off your screen. Look at the wall in front of you. Close your eyes for five seconds, open them. Make a circular movement to the right. All the way around. Close your eyes. Open them and this time, reverse the circular movement. Close your eyes for five seconds and open them.

Ideally you should do that every ten minutes if you're doing close up work.

More later.
