Hi everyone, Hi Brisen...long time no 'see'!
Anyway this is what I did as far as exercises. I have to mention that I think the reason I have been successful is that my prescription is mild and the astingmatism was also mild. As well, my sight had not deterioated in a long time, my prescription had stayed consistent for many years.
The exercises were really easy. Twice a day I would go without my glasses. At first I would do this at home, in a safe, familiar environment. I started with half hour and increased to about two hours a session over the course of about four weeks. Then I did the sessions for about 8 months consistently. Now I go without my glasses about 3 hours aday, usually at home or when I am gardening or exercising at the gym.
As far as the nutrients, I concentrate on healthy essential fatty acid intake and absorbtion. Focusing on liver function to ensure proper fat emulisfication. Using different herbs to stimulate digestion and bile flow in order to appropriately digest and absorb the E.F.A's. I also increased my vitamin A/Beta Carotene intake by juicing and eating more raw foods as well as sprouting and dehydrating. Lastly I incorportated more antioxidant rich foods such as blueberries, asparagus, wheatgerm, oat and ricebran.
I also made sure that I rested my eyes after doing strenous tasks such as knitting, sewing, computers and reading.
The final thing I did was an eyerinse with herbs and a green myrtle hydrosol eyespray. I stopped using anything chemical based in my eyes such as contact solutions, over the counter eyedrops and different mascaras. Now I use a henna based mascara that is more natural based and dyes the lashes slowly over time.
HTH
