Healthy Eyes = Good Vision

The health of your eyeballs determines the strength of your vision.

Here are a few ways to protect your precious sight:

• Get regular eye exams. The best way to verify your vision is 100 percent is to have regular eye exams from an optometrist or ophthalmologist. These eye care experts  can identify medical issues that could hurt your vision if not treated.

• Wear good sunglasses. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can harm your eyeballs, especially the lenses, and may lead to cataracts further down the road. Sunglasses intended to screen out UV beams help to ensure your visual perception.

Computers and Eyestrain



More and more jobs require the use of computers. With the information age being available on the computer, more and more people are spending endless hours in front of the screen.

After a long day in front of the computer, it is common to start feeling tired, irritable, or pain in the eyes or head. Eyes can be dry, itchy and blurry.


Staring at computers and forgetting to relax and give the eyes a break can cause permanent damage and eye problems.

It's a real problem called Computer Vision Syndrome or CVS for short.

No one is expected to live a life without computers; we all need them and are use to them being a part of our daily lives. However, it is important to listen to our bodies and relax or take a break when necessary. The following are some steps you can take to prevent CVS.

Are Your Glasses Actually Hurting Your Eyes?

I bet you didn’t know wearing glasses actually makes your eyesight WORSE, did you?
Yes it’s true.
You see…in the early 20th century Dr. William Bates managed to discover the real truth about the dangers of wearing glasses.

You can see his Original book from 1920    HERE   Very Cool!

Here’s what he had to say: “If glasses are worn continuously over time the poor vision will generally become worse. Essentially what glasses do is lock the eyes into their refractive state and in order to see through your lenses you have to maintain the poor vision that the lenses are designed to correct.”

In other words, the LONGER you’re wearing glasses (or contact lenses), the more your eyes will DETERIORATE. Your eye doctor will no doubt tell you otherwise, but there’s a good reason for that (and it’s not in your best interests.)
