Why Your Vision Deteriorates With Age

Getting old is inevitable, but losing your vision doesn't have to be.

Presbyopia, or "aging vision," as it is commonly referred to, is the hardening of the lens and tightening of the eye muscles associated with aging.

This condition occurs in nearly everyone at some point in their lives, typically around the age of 40.

At first you might find it hard to focus on the newspaper or on a menu at a restaurant. Before you know it, your arms aren't long enough to read anything.

Inevitably, off you go to get your first pair of reading glasses -- your optician or local drugstore owner smiling all the way, as you have just become a lifelong customer!

Science has proven that stiffening of the components of the eye is the cause of aging vision. As a matter of fact, you probably have more than a few muscles that don't feel quite as limber as they used to!

What do you do when you have a tight hamstring or tricep? You stretch it out every day, and over time, it regains its flexibility and elasticity.

Well, your eyes are no different.

There are special optical exercises and vision-improvement techniques that can help you regain the elasticity and strength that your eyes once had and the clear, natural vision that you remember from years ago.

There's just one catch: You have to do the exercises.

And when you do the exercises, in just a few weeks (sometimes even days), you'll begin to stop the vicious cycle of eyesight deterioration and start to notice tremendous improvements in your vision.

Imagine enjoying the newspaper without searching the house for your glasses. Or celebrating at a special restaurant without having to hold the menu at arm's length.

It's absolutely possible.

What No One's Telling You About Your Glasses

Do you wear glasses or contacts?

Despite the fact that many people, after their eye exams, go
out and buy glasses or contacts, 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.

These facts are 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."

* 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...

You need to learn how to use your glasses so that they don't
contribute to further vision loss. And here's how...

Let's say, for example, that you're nearsighted (unable to see
distant objects clearly) and you are reading this e-mail with
your glasses on. Do you really need them, or did you just forget
about them being on your face?

By wearing your glasses you could be doubling the effects of
"near-point stress."

The American Optometric Association hails near-point stress as
one of the major causes of nearsightedness and its further
progression. And by wearing your glasses, you're doubling the
effects of it -- ouch!

=================
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.

To do this, hold the CTRL key down while scrolling your
mouse wheel away from you (the small wheel on top of the mouse
that scrolls the page up and down.)

Each scroll forward will increase the page and font size by
one. To reduce the font size simply continue to hold the CTRL key
and scroll the opposite direction (towards you).

These small steps will go a long way in preserving your vision
for years to come.

To your vision -- for life,

Omega-3 Dietary Fats will Improve Vision

Omega-3 To Benefit Vision For Patients With Dry Macular Degeneration

An open case control study including oral antioxidant and omega-3 supplement for dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration found that 76.7% of subjects receiving the nutritional supplement demonstrated stabilization or improvement of Best Corrected Visual Acuity over a six-month period.

Francis E. Cangemi, MD, an ophthalmologist, published the results of the study, which treated patients with a unique supplement containing Taurine, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Zinc, Antioxidant and Lutein over a six-month period, in the February 26, 2007 issue of BMC Opthalmology. Known as the TOZAL study, the results here far surpassed those found in the AREDS (Age-Related Eye Disease Study). The earlier study, sponsored by the National Eye Institute, first demonstrated that high levels of antioxidants and zinc reduced the risk of developing advanced AMD by approximately 25%.

The TOZAL study enrolled 37 mixed gender patients, with a mean age of 76.3 years and at least one eye diagnosed with dry AMD, at five independent study sites, with the subjects receiving standard care with the TOZAL formulation. Results were compared to a placebo cohort constructed from the literature that was matched for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects gained an average of 0.0541 logMAR, or one-half of a line of visual acuity over the six-month period.
