It seems that very little is done to help our aging society and younger people to prevent their eyes from deteriorating. Opticians do absolutely nothing to help this within the retail market. They merely

keep testing peoples visions until they have deteriorated to a point where they deem they need glasses or contact lenses. Then your eyes start

becoming lazy and more dependent on the vision aids as you get older and you are aging gracefully. They deteriorate further and the opticians can sell you a stronger pair of grossly overpriced glasses or contacts. Great business especially at $250.00 per pair, and we all lose glasses!

What they do not tell you or help you with is the prevention of eye sight deterioration and even the improvement of it in natural ways. Why would they - that would do them out of sales!

In this article we will show you how to get the best of your eyes through anti aging treatments and exercises, so you can beat the optician

The three common faults of vision are not using the peripheral vision, staring without focusing, and not moving the eyes enough. All this occurs while watching TV or being on the computer. TV viewing should be restricted to an hour a day, especially for children. You should be at least 6 feet away from the screen, preferably further. It is helpful to sit with good posture as this will help the blood flow around your body and to your eyes.

If you work on computers all day then it is going to be more difficult for you to limit your viewing. Instead you can look away from the computer about every half an hour.

Look at something about 10 to 15 feet away for about 10 seconds. Really focus on it. Let the eyes do some work. This will help strengthen the muscles. Then look at something about 3 meters away for about 10 seconds, and again really focus on it.

Repeat this with a few different objects at different distances every half an hour. If you manage to keep this up, you will massively reduce the deterioration of your eyes through watching the computer screen. You can also do these exercises if you insist on watching loads of TV.

While we are on the subject of work, did you that wearing a suit can cause eyesight deterioration? Tight fitting collars on a shirt can restrict the blood flow to the eyes, causing them to deteriorate through lack of nutrients.

Here are a five exercises and tips to keep your eyes strong and to keep them healthy.

Pencil Exercise Hold a pencil arms length in front of you. Really focus on the tip of that pencil. Once you have it focused, very slowly move it towards you while still maintaining the focus. See how close you can get it before losing this focus.

Swinging Focus on a distant object, swaying gently from side to side. Do this for a few minutes every day, blinking as you sway. The blinking helps clean and lubricates the eyes, which is especially important if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer.
