Many of the vitamins and minerals in our bodies are found in much higher concentrations in our eyes, so a diet lacking in these vitamins and minerals can lead to vision problems as we grow older.

Take the time every day to give your eyes (and the rest of your body) the nutritive support they need.

Eat the foods and take the supplements that provide the antioxidant vitamins and minerals your eyes require.

Do You Have a Vision Story That You Can Share?

I need your help.

I have a page on this website that is for my readers to tell their Eyesight story. My hope was to have people tell their story so it might help someone else with the same problem or experience.

But lately there has not been any activity on this page. Could you please look at this page and contribute someone if you can.

Thank You

March - Save Your Vision Month

This condition is getting more and more prevalent every year, and the really scary thing is we don't even know how serious it might be yet. It's only been recently that people have routinely spent their entire day, week after week, working solely on computers. Most Eye Diseases take decades to become apparent, sometimes a whole lifetime, so we really have no idea what kind of a long term effect this will have on us.

That's why I feel it's extremely important to be as knowledgeable and aware of computer vision syndrome as possible. There are several different things that you can do to lessen the Eyestrain Caused by Computers on your eyes. Of course, not using a computer for eight hours a day would be the most beneficial, but a lot of us need to use them for work, so unfortunately that's not really an option.

Use a high resolution – Try to work on the highest screen resolution possible. Low-resolution monitors make the text blurry and out of focus, and your eyes have to strain even harder to make sense of the image.

Minimize glare – Have you ever worked at a computer or tried to watch TV with an open window behind you? It put a huge glare on the screen and made it harder to actually see what was on the monitor, right? This gives your eyes the same trouble as working on a low-resolution screen. There are essentially two images on the same surface, so your eyes have to work extra hard to sort out the “relevant” image. Fix this by making sure there's no glare or reflection on the monitor.

Work at a good distance – Some people sit too close to their monitors, others sit too far away. Both of these scenarios can increase the strain on your eyes and wear them out much sooner. 1 to 2 feet away from the monitor is considered a good distance, but you should settle on whatever feels most comfortable. If your comfort distance is less than a foot from the monitor you might have a Vision Problem such as Myopia also known as “nearsightedness” or “short sightedness” that needs to be corrected.

Don't slouch – After hours sitting in the same position, it's easy to lose posture and slouch forward. This strains your shoulders and neck as well as your eyes, and is why most people get tension headaches and neck pain. Make a conscious effort to sit up straight.

So please Learn How To Improve Your Eyesight

Your eyes will thank you!
