Paul McCartney Teaches Yoga for Our Eyes
let me know your opinion. I know we shouldn't "exercise" our eyes, but these seem like stretches. Let me know what you think.
Troy: Eye exercises were incorrectly extrapolated from the Bates method so they've been around since the early 1900's. They are one of the reason's why many people, especially eye doctors, believe that Natural Eyesight Improvement doesn't work. People try them and for the most part people don't improve their vision from them. People do them for ten minutes a day but for the rest of the day they are using their eyes in the same way that lead to their blurry vision. So for the most part they haven't changed anything. Eye exercises can quickly lead to effort and sometimes strain when people don't see the results they would like. Eye exercises leave out centralization and reconnecting, two very important principles of perfect eyesight.

I am slightly nearsighted and i don't know what glasses to get??
Cali J from Yahoo Answers:
I am slightly nearsighted and wanted to have a set of glasses for when i am driving. I often have trouble seeing signs in the distance. However, i am not sure what "power" to get. I know nothing about glasses!

TheEyeGuy: You have to meet minimal driving requirements which is 20/40 vision in most states. If you are slightly nearsighted you may still fit in that range. Nevertheless you'll want to find out what you measure from a good optomotrist.
Since your vision is slight, if you allow your interest to roam through the picture like a dog on a leash reel, and allow your interest to rest briefly on the smallest details you can make out from time to time, you might rediscover natural eyesight.

Artificial Corrections Harm Eyesight
Kaitlyn H from Yahoo Answers asks:
Im Nearsighted and my glasses make things up close blurry. Why?
I cannot see things far away. Such as street signs or movie theater screens. My new glasses help very much with this, however, they make my everything up close look blurry and worse than normal. Is this suppost to happen?
TheEyeGuy: All distance corrections way over correct up close. People who wear their distance corrections for up close work quite often lose their up close vision.
The typical solution solution for people in this situation is no line bifocals or progressive lenses. Both are very stressful on the visual system and can increase the pace of increasing prescriptions. Another typical solution is monovision where one eye is prescribed for up close and one eye is prescribed for the distance. This solution is also very hard on the visual system.

Sports Eyesight
StephenWeinstein from Yahoo Answers asks: Why was Tiger Woods unable to wear glasses?
In a radio commercial for laser vision surgery, Tiger Woods says that he had to wear contacts to play golf, that the contacts made his eyes water or red or something, that this distracting him from the shot that he was trying to make, and that only surgery would allow him to play golf without the distraction of contacts.
Why would eyeglasses not also be a (faster) option for him?
TheEyeGuy: Not only do eyeglasses box vision in and cut off peripheral, but they warp it as well, throwing off distance and angle judgement. I'm sure he tried in practice and found that it threw his game way off. Contacts follow the eyes and keep vision fairly stable and consistent. Lasik is etching your prescription onto your eyeball so it follows the eyeballs precisely. Glasses only give consistent vision if you stare exactly through the center.

Artificial Corrections Harm Eyesight
Ben C from Yahoo Answers asks: Is it true that wearing glasses will actually worsen your vision when you start wearing them?
or do they make them better or do they have no effect in making them worse or better?
TheEyeGuy: Most people notice that their unaided vision gets worse after wearing glasses for a while and then taking them off.
Whether our vision gets worse or not is dependant upon how we respond to glasses. Most people continue with the incorrect vision habits which gave them blurry vision in the first place, so most people who get glasses or contacts get stronger and stronger artificial corrections year after year.
Squinting and staring are a couple of the incorrect vision habits that give us blurry vision.
Artificial corrections don't make our eye muscles weak, in fact our eye muscles are many times stronger than they need to be. Eyes that are blurry are not weak, they are strained and over exerted from incorrect use.
Most eye problems are not genetic, but they are often inherited behaviors just like having the same language as your parents or other habits as your parents.

Pilot Eyesight
█|[ HB ]|█ from Yahoo Answers asks: If you have glasses, can you become a pilot still?
I heard if you don't have 20/20 vision, your dreams of becoming a commercial airline pilot is over. Is this true?
TheEyeGuy: You also have the option to upgrade your vision software. Many are finding that the way they use their eyes, mind, and body together is the cause of their blurry vision. When they unlearn the incorrect vision habits and relearn the correct vision behaviors they improve their vision naturally. Please note that I am talking about natural eyesight principles and not eye pushups or exercises. Eye pushups and exercises are not correct and do not address the real issues of poor eyesight.
I'm glad to see higher standards on vision. People who have learned to see through strong glasses are visually and mentally hampered. Their mental clarity can be impaired and their awareness can be quite obscured.
