Sunglasses, They Make You Look Great!

Eye correction is essential for the serious condition of strabismus.

Learning to read without glasses requires the substitution of good reading habits for bad ones. Practically everyone, as he grows older, finds it difficult to read unless he has kept the eye muscles flexible. Abuse of the eyes is nowhere as prevalent as it is in reading, and this abuse frequently starts in childhood, and becomes fixed long before the child has grown up.

If you have a cold, your eyes are tired and inflamed. Whatever your illness, the eyes reflect it. This recommendation applies with equal force to your regular reading. Even when you are in good health, it is foolish to read when the eyes are tired. The first rule, then, for vision improvement is to rest tired eyes before reading.

If they are completely relaxed, you will see better and read longer without strain or tiring.

Strabismus, or cross-eyes, is a condition caused by an unequal pull on the muscles of the eyeball so that the two eyes are not directed toward the same point at the same time and it requires eye care.

This lack of fusion causes many distressing physical conditions, such as insomnia, intense fatigue, even nausea and gastric disturbances.

In most cases of crossed eyes, the sufferer sees better with one eye than with the other. Because of the inability to fuse properly, the stronger eye becomes stronger, while the weaker eye grows weaker until it loses the sense of sight.

The orthodox treatment for cross-eyes is glasses, often with prisms incorporated in them, or an operation. No vision is built up in the center and the eye constantly struggles to get back to its crossed position where it built up a false center of vision on the retina. Naturally, the eye attempts to get back into the position where 
This constant struggle results in continual nerve strain which wreaks havoc with the patient’s nervous system.

The visual eye correction method is to build up the nerves in the center of vision and relax the tense muscle so that the eye will naturally come back to its right position.

In correcting cross-eyes in very young children, patch the good eye so that the child will be compelled to use the one that is crossed and thus stimulate its functional activity. The stick should be on a level with the eyes, the point toward the nose at right angles to a line connecting the two eyes, and the other tilted slightly upward. Cross the chopstick vertically with a pencil.

Slowly move the pencil back and forth, focusing the eye on the point of intersection. Do not overdo the exercise and fatigue the eyes. At first your eye muscles may have a drawing sensation. As the muscles start to limber up, you will experience great relief and comfort in your eyes. If you do these eye correction eye exercises in the morning, you will loosen up tense muscles and induce better fusion during the day.

Watch your posture. When you curl up in a chair with your spine out of alignment, the neck muscles pulled and strained, your chin on your chest, peering down at the book on your lap, you are inducing a severe strain on your eyes and distorting the focus.

For normal eyes the book should be held twelve to fourteen inches distant, with the printed page tilted outward and slightly below the level of the eyes so the head is up, not bent forward.

Many people find an inclined reading table aids in adjusting books or magazines to the correct height and angle and enables the body to relax completely.

If you make a constant practice of this-not trying it now and then, but in doing all reading-you can retain your reading sight indefinitely.

Follow these simple suggestions and eye sight improvement will result.
