FIXING YOUR BAD EYESIGHT | A THREAD🧵

BOOKMARK!

I want to stress right from the start that every step you take toward better health brings you closer to fixing your Vision.

As your health improves, you'll feel more energized and it will significantly speed up the processes of healing your vision.

The approach of Ophthalmologists/Optometrists regarding Eye Health is rarely challenged and consequently, standard medicine rarely proves effective.

The concept of reversing vision problems might seem novel, but it is not new historically.

This Holistic Approach is meant to give hope to those who thought they could not improve their Vision.

The Difference Between Eyesight and Vision

Eyesight and vision are entirely different concepts.

Eyesight is the measurable acuity of your eyes, determined through standard testing procedures. Vision, however, encompasses much more than just the mechanics of the eye.
It includes memory, experience, emotions, relaxation, and acceptance of what you see.

Improving vision involves more than just physical eye exercises.

Many people report seeing better after practicing vision training, even if their measurable eyesight remains the same.
This highlights that vision is a holistic experience influenced by various factors beyond mere eye function.

Although this guide doesn't focus on a specific eye disease I will shortly explain how Myopia occurs and why glasses for myopia will worsen your vision

The Human Body's Adaptation to Stress

The human body is a marvel of adaptability.
It responds to the stress it encounters by becoming stronger and more resilient.

Here are a few examples:

Muscle Building:
When you exercise at your limit, your muscles experience tiny tears. In response, the body repairs these tears, adding more muscle fibers and increasing muscle mass.
Endurance Training:
Regular cardiovascular training prompts the heart to enlarge slightly, enabling it to pump blood more efficiently, enhancing endurance.
Toxin Resistance:
With controlled exposure to small doses of poison, the body gradually becomes more resistant by producing enzymes that detoxify the poison.

The Consequence of Inactivity: Atrophy
However, this adaptive capacity also has a downside: if you don't use a part of your body, it will weaken. Muscles shrink, the heart's efficiency decreases, and the body's resistance to toxins diminishes. This principle, often summarized as "use it or lose it," is fundamental to maintaining health and functionality.

The Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Eyesight

The Role of the Ciliary Muscle
The eye's ability to focus on objects at varying distances relies on the ciliary muscle, which changes the shape of the lens.

In our technology-driven world, people spend more time indoors, focusing on screens and objects that are close at hand. This prolonged near focus keeps the ciliary muscle contracted for extended periods.

Development of Pseudomyopia

Constant contraction of the ciliary muscle can lead to stiffness and eventually temporary nearsightedness (pseudomyopia).

This occurs because the eye's lens remains in a state suited for close-up vision, even when looking into the distance.
Fortunately, this condition can be reversed by spending time focusing on distant objects, allowing the ciliary muscle to relax.

The Complication of Corrective Lenses

The real problem begins when you start using glasses with minus lenses.

These lenses shift the focal point further back toward the retina, allowing you to see distant objects clearly. However, this adjustment also affects close-up objects, making them appear less sharp than before.

That's why you see people take off their glasses to view stuff close up.

To compensate for this change, the eyeball elongates to bring the focal point back to the retina, resulting in true myopia. Consequently, distance vision becomes blurry again, requiring stronger glasses. This cycle continues to repeat.

What to do instead:

- Avoid using glasses close-up
- Gradually lower your prescription by 0.25 diopter every 1-2 months
- Use glasses with +0.25 to +1 diopter if you’re between -0.25 to -1 diopter. (This can be referred to as “lifting weights” for the eyes)
- Do Eye Exercises and gaze into the distance.

Nutrition

The human body is an incredible collection of billions of individual cells, each vital to our overall health.

Every cell needs a steady supply of nutrients, some of which are highly specialized, to function properly.

We also need an efficient system to distribute these nutrients to every cell.

This includes the cells in the cones and rods of the macula.

Failure to provide the body with all its essential nutrients, or any impairment in the delivery system to these cells causes degeneration of the affected cells and thus the degeneration of our Vision.

The following nutrients are the most important for Eye Health:

Vitamin A - Maintains a healthy cornea and supports rhodopsin function for low-light vision.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - Maintains nerve cell health and reduces cataract risk.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) - Acts as an antioxidant and supports glutathione function in the lens.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) - Improves blood flow to the eyes and reduces inflammation and oxidative stress.

Vitamin C - Protects eyes from oxidative damage and supports blood vessel health.

Vitamin D - Reduces inflammation and supports retinal cells, while supporting blood vessel health

Vitamin E - Protects eyes from oxidative damage and prevents cataracts.

Zinc - Maintains retinal health and supports antioxidant enzyme function.

Magnesium - Supports healthy blood flow and reduces the risk of glaucoma.

Lutein/Zeaxanthin - Filters blue light and protects against oxidative stress.

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) - Essential for retinal cell integrity and improves visual development.

Taurine - An amino acid found in high concentrations in the retina, crucial for cellular metabolism and nerve impulse generation. It requires adequate zinc levels to function properly.

The primary goal is to provide nutrient-dense foods, focusing on those most beneficial for eye health.

Of course, this comes with following a certain Diet. All of the foods listed below are healthy regardless of what you’re trying to achieve and should be incorporated into your diet even after having your Vision fixed.

-Wild-Caught Seafood (Salmon, Sardines, Oysters, Mussels, etc.)
-Pasture-Raised Eggs (especially the yolk)
-Grass-Fed Liver
-Grass-Fed Butter ( Can also be applied around your Eye area)
-Raw Milk/Kefir
-Organic Carotenoid-Rich Fruits (Orange, Papay, etc.)
-Organic Carrots (Also good for endotoxins)

Foods that you should completely avoid include:

-Vegetable/Seed Oils (PUFA) - only use Coconut oil, Tallow or Butter
-Any Processed Food

As for Vitamin D I encourage you to atleast get 30 Minutes of Sun Exposure on bare skin per day.

Stress Management

Stress causes the activation of the SNS (Sympathetic Nervous System)

This causes various bodily reactions like Oxidative Stress, Neuro-inflammation, Reduced Ocular blood flow, and Intraocular Pressure which all cause the degeneration of the Eye.

We need to eliminate the most prone Stressors:

-Artificial Blue Light ( Inhibi ts Melatonin Production, ROS, Mitochondrial Damage, Lack of Red Light Balance)
Reduce Blue Light by wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses at Night, Using Screen Filters for every device, and getting natural Sunlight exposure (Sunning)

-nnEMF (Disrupts every Biochemical process especially Melatonin production)
The least you can do for this is turning off your WIFI at night and removing any electrical device from your Bedroom.

On the contrary, the PSNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System) is activated when the Body is in a relaxed state.

Most importantly the PSNS facilitates the body's repair processes, tissue growth, and the synthesis of complex molecules necessary for recovery and maintenance of your Vision.

How to Activate PSNS:

- Spending time in Nature
- Foot Massages
- Listening to Calming Music
- Singing
- Humming
- Earthing
- Meditation
- Lowering Cortisol
- Buteyko Breathing
- Restful Sleep

Eye Exercises

Do all the following exercises without wearing your glasses or sunglasses, in good light.

Your glasses or contact lenses limit your eyes' potential by bringing objects into focus for them.

The purpose of the techniques described below is to enhance your eyes’ ability to see.

Sunning

Sunning helps to rebuild the retina, improve blood flow, and enhance your psychological and emotional state.

It also acclimates the eyes to light and reduces photosensitivity.

Start sunning with your eyes firmly closed. While facing the sun, slowly turn your head from side to side. As you turn your head, you will see the image of the sun move across your closed eyelids.

Once you have built up a certain resistance, you can watch the sunrise and sunset with your eyes open (this should never hurt and should feel soothing; I strongly advise against it if your eyes hurt while doing it).

A similar effect can be achieved by using near-infrared or deep red light. Sunning should always be followed by a session of “Palming”.

Palming

Palming provides total rest for the eyes and helps reduce eye strain, making other exercises more effective.

To practice palming, sit at a table with your eyes closed.

Rest your elbows on the table and place your slightly cupped hands over your eyes, with fingers crossed on your forehead.

Ensure your elbows are supported, your back is straight, and there's no pressure on your neck, shoulders, and arms.

Proper foot positioning also helps maintain a relaxed posture.

Avoid touching your eyes with your hands; cover only the bony eye sockets to seal out all light.

This helps you recognize the feeling of relaxed eyes. Maintain firm contact between hands and face without pressing on the eyes.

Practice this exercise at least twice a day, gradually working up to fifteen minutes each session.

Adjust the height of support for maximum comfort.

SLOW AND RAPID BLINKING

This simple method helps quickly relax your eyes anywhere, anytime.

It boosts tear production, providing both nutrients and moisture for the eyes.

Relax by focusing on your breath, blinking freely and often.
Occasionally, squeeze your eyes shut for a few seconds to let them rest and shift focus.
Alternate your blinking rhythm, doing it slowly and rapidly.

Squeeze blinking helps produce tears to lubricate and nourish your eyes.
To practice, squeeze your eyes shut for a count of three, then open them wide.
Relax your eyes and blink a few times.

ACUPRESSURE

Acupressure increases energy, blood and lymph flow of the inner eye through light pressure and finger massage around the eye.

It can be done before or after palming and is soothing and pleasant.

All steps can be seen in the picture (1-4)
1. Use your thumbs to massage the points at the inner corners of your eyes. Ensure your hands are clean and your nails are short.
2. Position your thumbs at the outer corners of your eyes and gently massage along your eyebrows using the sides of your index fingers.
3. With the pads of your index fingers or thumbs, gently press along the lower bone area under your eyes, moving from the outer corner to the inner corner, continuing the motion from the second step. Be careful not to stretch this delicate tissue with the massage.
4. Continue to massage around your eye in ever-widening concentric circles until you have massaged your whole face and neck area.

Next, move over your entire eye area in the same basic direction, gradually extending to your whole face in widening, concentric circles.
Continue this motion until you reach your hairline, the area in front of your ears, and your neck.

Finally, use your fingers like claws to sweep through your hair, scalp, and the back of your neck in circular motions.

This will likely feel very good and invigorating. If you have limited arm mobility, you can ask a partner or friend to perform this last step for you.

Distant and Nearby

Here's how it works: start by intentionally focusing on distant objects for 5-10 minutes( could be clouds or trees on the horizon). Then, shift your gaze to the ground or another object close by.

Use the video for reference but include the shift to close-by objects.

Supplements

Saffron:
Saffron is a culinary spice derived from parts of the crocus (Crocus sativus) flower.

Newly published scientific studies demonstrate its ability to improve visual acuity and to improve sensitivity of the retina to light in people with early macular degeneration.

Saffron improves eyesight primarily through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties.

The key active compounds in saffron, such as crocin and crocetin, help protect retinal cells from oxidative stress and apoptosis, which are common causes of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other retinal diseases.

These compounds enhance retinal blood flow and reduce inflammation, helping to maintain the health of photoreceptors and bipolar cells.

Additionally, saffron's antioxidant properties reduce the levels of harmful molecules like malondialdehyde (MDA) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, protecting the retinal structure and function.

Gingko Biloba:
Ginkgo Biloba, also known as the maidenhair tree, is one of the oldest living tree species, dating back over 200 million years. Native to China, it has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine. The leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree are often used to make extracts, which have many health benefits.

Ginkgo biloba improves eyesight through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory properties.

The active compounds in Ginkgo biloba extracts (GBEs) protect retinal cells from oxidative stress and apoptosis, enhance blood flow to the eyes, and reduce inflammation.

These effects help maintain retinal health and prevent degeneration, making Ginkgo biloba effective in conditions like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.

Additionally, GBEs mitigate light-induced damage by protecting photoreceptor cells and improving choroidal blood circulation, further supporting overall eye health.

Bilberry:
Bilberry improves eyesight primarily through its rich anthocyanin content, which has several beneficial effects on eye health.

Anthocyanins in bilberry are known to enhance the regeneration of rhodopsin, a protein essential for vision in low-light conditions, thereby improving night vision.

They also possess antioxidant properties, which help protect retinal cells from oxidative stress, a common cause of age-related macular degeneration and other vision problems.

Furthermore, bilberry extract has been shown to have vasodilating effects by increasing the release of nitric oxide, which relaxes the ciliary muscles responsible for controlling the lens of the eye.

This relaxation improves the accommodative function, which is the eye's ability to focus on near and distant objects, thus reducing eye fatigue and strain caused by prolonged use of visual display terminals (VDTs).

Additionally, bilberry has been found to improve tear secretion and enhance the overall antioxidant potential of the body, contributing to the alleviation of dry eye symptoms and better eye health.

These combined effects make bilberry a potent natural supplement for maintaining and improving vision health.

Manuka Honey Eyedrops:
Manuka honey improves eyesight by leveraging its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and osmotic properties.

The antibacterial effects reduce bacteria on the eyelids and ocular surface, preventing infections.

Its anti-inflammatory properties decrease redness, swelling, and irritation.

The high osmolarity of Manuka honey draws moisture into the cornea, reducing edema and improving tear film stability.

Additionally, Manuka honey promotes epithelial healing, aiding in the recovery of the corneal surface and enhancing overall eye comfort and visual clarity.

Magnesium:
Magnesium improves eyesight by enhancing blood flow, reducing oxidative stress, and protecting retinal cells.

It acts as a natural calcium blocker, which helps to improve ocular blood flow and prevent vascular dysregulation.

This increased blood flow ensures better oxygen and nutrient delivery to the eyes.

Magnesium also exhibits neuroprotective properties by blocking harmful calcium influx in retinal cells, thus protecting them from oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Additionally, magnesium reduces inflammation and fibrotic responses in ocular tissues, which helps in maintaining overall eye health and improving visual function.

These combined effects make magnesium a beneficial supplement for managing eye conditions like glaucoma and improving overall visual health.

All of these Herbs/Fruits should be taken in supplement form but can additionally be taken in their natural form for food.

Much like Magnesium, the other Nutrients can be supplemented if you don’t have access to these quality foods.

Laser Eye Surgery (LASIK)

LASIK is not as safe as it has been made to be. There are thousands of people experiencing adverse side effects that range all the way to blindness.

DON’T DO IT!
