Eyes

Improving the Eyes

The most common vision problems are caused by chronic tension in the six muscles which attach to the eyeball and/or the cilliary muscle inside the eyeball. The imbalances resulting from deep chronic tension in these muscles can cause the eyeball and/or cornea to become deformed from their proper shapes, thus affecting vision. It may not be easy, but this tension can be removed (by way of exercising/relaxing the eyes). There is a large amount of information available on alternative means of improving eyesight, most of it derived from the work of W.H. Bates. See books and links below.

Cataracts

With age and exposure to UV rays of the sun, many people develop cataracts, a cloudiness on the lenses which causes blurry vision, becoming worse over time. The conventional medical solution for this problem is surgery to remove and replace the lenses of the eyeballs. This could be done cheaply - the SEVA Foundation has performed over 3 million of these operations in third-world countries at no charge, their cost is less than $50.00 per eye. But in the US the cost is over $3,000.00 per eye. The procedure takes just a few minutes. A new development involves replacing the lens with a lens tshat corrects vision to 20/20 for and extra $1,000 or so per eye. There are no other solutions offerred by modern medicine.

There is an eyedrop product called CAN-C which is claimed by some to reduce cataracts. It is a bit expensive at $30-$40 for 2 tiny bottles. The active ingredient is N-acetyl carnosine. See also Life Extension Brite Eyes III, which is a bit less expensive at $25.00 for 2 tiny bottles. Note that both of these products list N-acetyl carnosine as an excipient or inactive ingredient, but this is the anti-oxident which works to reduce cataracts and to prevent macular degeneration. (these products are also used to reduce cataracts in dogs).

Another similar, but more expensive, product is OcluMed - www.naturaleyecare.com/shop/oclumed-eyedrops-15ml.html

And there is an herbal eyedrop formula from Dr. Christopher called "Herbal Eye Formula", which is claimed by some to reduce cataracts and help with other vision problems such as glaucoma. I trust the late Dr. Christopher as one of the greatest herbalists of our time. (note that there is also a capsule form of the Herbal Eye Formula, as well as a tincture form of just the Eyebright herb called Eyebright Extract). This formula contains eyebright, bayberry bark, goldenseal, red rasberry leaf and cayenne pepper. Full price for this is about $17 per bottle and you can find it cheaper.
