Eye Exercise
You may find information for an eye exercise program to naturally help you improve your vision and eliminate the need for glasses or contacts. Some programs may be free, while others may charge upwards of $100 for the eye exercise program. Proceed with caution, and be sure to research any eye exercise program before signing up or spending money.
Any eye exercise program skates the line between fringe medicine and natural remedy. Most eye exercise programs acknowledge this. Very little, if any, research backs up claims of success made by eye exercise programs. The “proof” of these programs lies in testimonials from other people who have successfully used the program.
If you are interested in better vision without wearing glasses or contacts, first contact your eye doctor. Your doctor may have other options for you. Plus, you can ask your eye doctor about his or her opinion of eye exercise programs and would the doctor recommend such a program for you?
Next, ask for research or studies to support any claims or success the eye exercise program advertises. You may also want to ask to speak to people who have tried the program. You are able to ask specific questions and judge for yourself if these people are sincere.
There is an eye exercise program that does help with legitimate medical needs, such as your eyes not working together. This eye exercise program is called “vision therapy.” Vision therapy eye exercises are prescribed by an eye doctor, and you visit the eye doctor on a regular basis to perform the exercises and evaluate your own visual needs.
Some eye exercises are prescribed for patients with neurological disorders such as after trauma. These eye exercises help reconnect the neural pathways from eyes to the brain. Know that research has shown that such eye exercises are very unlikely to change your vision or your eye shape enough to discontinue wearing glasses or contacts. You should also know it is against the law for a company to make false claims in order to make money.
