(NaturalNews) You're probably familiar with all sorts of
mythologies promoted as "truisms" in modern medicine: Flu vaccines
prevent the flu (they actually don't), CT scans are harmless (they aren't),
chemotherapy works to save lives from cancer (it actually causes cancer), and
so on. There are all sorts of falsehoods in dentistry, too: Mercury fillings
are safe for you! (They aren't.) Gum health has nothing to do with nutrition!
(It does.) Cavities can only be treated by drilling, filling and billing!
(Often just a money-making scam.)
But did you also know that there are lies and mythologies promoted by eye
doctors, too?
Here's a real whopper that's told to almost everyone: The reason you need
glasses when you get older is because -- get this -- your eyeball changes its
shape!
The only way your eyeballs change shape is if your
skull gets cracked
This "eyeball changes its shape" con is a clever
scam because it convinces tens of millions of people to buy high-priced
prescription glasses each year, usually from the very same vision centers that
promote this total quackery. If you just ponder it for a moment, you'll quickly
realize how ludicrous the explanation really is. How can your eyeball change
its shape when your eye SOCKET is made of bone?
Think about it. For your eyeball to get "longer" as they often tell
you, your very skull would have to alter its bone structure. And while that
most certainly happens in infants and children, the human skull doesn't keep
shifting around when you're an adult. Unless you're run over by a truck or
something, anyway, in which case blurred vision should be expected.
No, the real problem with the vision of most people is not that "your
eyeball is getting longer" (ridiculous!) but rather that your lens
muscles are getting flabby and out of shape!
How your lens muscles gets flabby and out of shape
Your iris is a muscle that controls your pupil, which
is like the aperture of a camera lens. Its job is to regulate the amount of
light entering the eye. The iris is not our concern here because we're more
interested in the muscles that alter the shape of your lens.
Those muscles are part of what's called the ciliary body of your eye.
The ciliary body contains muscles that, in real time, alter the curvature of
your eye lens to achieve the proper focus of whatever scene you are
observing (http://library.thinkquest.org/25607...). "Proper focus" means altering the curvature of
your lens so that the rays of light entering your eye fall on your retina with
pinpoint accuracy.
As any photographer well knows, your focus must be altered when viewing
something right in front of you (a near object) versus something far away (a
far object). In a camera, this change in focus is achieved by altering the
distance between two lenses contained in what is commonly called a "camera
lens" (it's actually multiple lenses), but in the human eye, this is
achieved by changing the shape of the lens through the contraction or
relaxation of the ciliary muscles.
You probably never noticed yourself doing this because you don't feel
your ciliary muscles working, but they achieve this focus for you thousands of
times a day, automatically and without any effort on your part.
Some people (like myself) have achieved conscious control over these muscles,
and we can consciously choose to alter the focus of our eyes at any moment,
regardless of what scene we're looking at. But for most people, the function is
their ciliary muscles is involuntary. (I'm in my 40's and continue to
have perfect vision, never needing contact lenses or glasses. I also boost my
vision with nutrition such as astaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin supplements.)
How to strengthen your ciliary muscles that control
your eye lenses
Like any muscle, the ciliary muscles can become weak.
How does a muscle become weak? From lack of exercise, of course. If you
want strong legs, you need to walk and run from time to time, right? Well, if
you want a strong, functioning ciliary muscle set, you need to alternate
your vision between near objects and far objects so that these muscles are
challenged to stay strong. This also increases the flexibility (range of
motion) of your eye lenses (sort of like yoga for your eyes).
Now here's the real kicker in all this: Most people in modern society never
view anything far away anymore! They don't live out in the country, in other
words, so they're not looking at something a mile away. No mountains are even
visible in most cities, and peoples' vision is focused entirely on things that
are close. So their ciliary muscles are "locked" in a state of
constant contraction. This causes these muscles to tighten, just like your leg
muscles if you never stretch out from time to time.
This is all made even worse by the television set -- or perhaps your computer
monitor. Today's population spends so much time viewing mobile texting devices,
cell phones, portable gaming devices and computer monitors that it's amazing
their ciliary muscles have any range of motion at all.
Sooner or later, after a lack of exercise (i.e. focusing on things at various
distances), your ciliary muscles get flabby while also losing range of
motion and then your eye lenses can't achieve the focus they're supposed
to. So instead of the light rays striking your retina where they're supposed
to, they may strike a point inside your eyeball a quarter inch in front of
your retina instead (as an example, or in other cases it may be some
distance behind your retina, which also causes blurred vision). This is where
eye doctors get their ridiculous idea that "your eyeballs are too
long!"
That's stupid. Your eyeballs aren't "too long." That's just some
mythology dreamed up by vision doctors to sell you more glasses. No, unless
you're a mutant or something, the real problem is that your ciliary muscles
are too weak and lack range of motion to alter the curvature of your
lenses.
This problem, fortunately, can often be solved with simple exercises.
(By the way, it should also be obvious from this that the very act of wearing
contacts or wearing glasses makes your eye problem worse because it
allows your ciliary muscles to stop working, relying on the artificial lenses
of your glasses to do that work for you. In much the same way that taking
insulin makes diabetes worse over the long haul, wearing glasses also makes
your vision worse over time...)
How to exercise your eyeballs and help restore healthy
vision
So what if there were a way to exercise your eyeballs and
restore the strength and range of motion of your ciliary muscles? Would that
restore normal vision?
For many people, YES! Not for everyone, of course. There are other causes of
poor vision, such as cataracts, neurological damage (aspartame!), cross-linked
protein rigidity of the lens itself (poor nutrition) and so on. But in a
surprisingly large number of cases, healthy vision can be restored through
simple exercises that you can do at home, in just a few minutes a day,
using only your eyes and a simple tool.
That simple tool is a pair of pinhole glasses. They're like exercise
machines for your eyes. You simply wear them for a few minutes a day, then walk
around and look at stuff. Click here to pick some up from the NaturalNews
Store.
How pinhole glasses exercise your ciliary muscles and
help restore normal vision
Looking through pinhole glasses, as simple as it sounds,
causes the ciliary body of your eyes to engage in adaptive exercise
that increases the range of motion of your ciliary muscles which control your
lenses. This happens because the pinhole glasses are made with hundreds of
tiny holes that change the light entering your eyes from an overpowering
mass of light rays to a collection of lower-intensity, distinct light rays that
effectively give your eyes a more "organized" pattern on which to
focus. There's probably a more technical explanation for all this, of course,
but the practical upshot is that all sorts of people who suffer from vision
problems -- myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, astigmatism, computer vision
syndrome, and so on -- often report instantly improved clarity of vision
when wearing these pinhole glasses.
It's not magic, it's just physics. If you force your eye lens muscles to adapt
by challenging them, they will usually respond with improved function over time
(just like building leg strength by walking or jogging).
Even better, many people report ongoing improvements in their vision
even after taking off these pinhole glasses. Looking through the pinholes, you
see, exercises the muscles that control the shape of your lens, and as
those muscles become stronger (over a period of several days and weeks), they
become more capable of focusing light in the proper place on your retina. This
means no more blurry vision.
It's the same principle as doing pull-ups to get a stronger upper body, or
walking up flights of stairs to build stronger leg muscles. Your eye lenses are
controlled by muscles, and like any muscle in your body, those muscles
need to be challenged in order to stay strong and fully functional -- and to restore
their full, healthy range of motion.

I find it interesting, by the way, that some people would rather have crutches
than restore their normal healthy function. Have you ever seen those people
zipping around in electric scooters at the grocery store? Many of those people
used to be able to walk just fine! But then they started using the scooters as
a convenience, and now -- after a few months of that -- their leg muscles have
atrophied to the point where they can't walk! Prescription glasses do
the same thing to your eyes. Once you start using them, your ciliary muscles
atrophy to the point where you need those glasses just to see clearly.
The vision industry, not surprisingly, makes money off consumer ignorance. It's
not in their interests to teach people how to restore your own healthy
vision without needing prescription glasses. This is the same way that the
pharmaceutical industry doesn't want you to prevent disease because they make
more money when you stay sick!
The safest and most affordable way to improve vision
for many
Pinhole glasses are a safe and affordable way to take
responsibility for your eye health and potentially avoid costly and
inconvenient contact lenses or glasses forever. These pinhole glasses cost
about the same as a pair of sunglasses at the grocery store, and they're not
medical devices at all, so they need no prescription. They contain no lenses
themselves, either.
Safety note: Do not wear pinhole glasses while driving or operating heavy
machinery such as an airplane, a military humvee or a wrecking ball crane.
These glasses partially obscure vision and should be used solely as exercise
devices in a safe environment like your home.
They don't work for every case of vision impairment, of course, as there are
many causes for blurred vision. But they work remarkably well for most people
who try them. And there's no risk in trying, since you can return them to our
store if they don't work for you, so there's zero risk in finding out if your
own vision problem might be partially or fully resolved by simply exercising
your eyes.

We've heard countless success stories from people wearing these simple devices.
Try them yourself to see how they might help you! And remember, our
satisfaction guarantee means there's no risk in trying these to see how they
might help you live with stronger, more flexible eye muscles.
Zero-cost options you can achieve on your own
Another way to approach this is to
simply exercise the range of motion of your ciliary muscles by
alternating between focusing on close objects versus far away objects (such as
the horizon). This is most easily accomplished from inside your home, near a
window. Simply look at something on your desk, then look at something outside
your window that's far, far away (ideally, at the horizon). Alternate this
process several times, then rest your eyes, and then repeat. Do this daily for
a few minutes each day.
With added nutritional support for eye health (lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin
and so on), these exercises can, over time, enhance the range of motion
of your ciliary muscles and eye lenses. With these exercises, you may discover
that you are able to reduce the intensity of your prescription glasses,
step by step, until one day you don't need them at all.
The pinhole glasses may help accelerate this process even more, in much the
same way that working out with weights is a faster way to build muscle strength
than working out with no weights at all.
The most important point in all this is to realize that blurred vision is
not some sort of permanent eye damage but usually just a functional
aberration that can often be resolved through training. In much the
same way that physical therapy can help people rebuild functional muscle mass
in their legs, arms or torso, eye exercises can help rebuild functional
strength in your eyes.
It's the greatest secret of the eyeglasses industry: Many people don't need eye
glasses! Many people don't need contact lenses! What they need is eye
exercise. But don't expect the for-profit vision industry to tell you about
any of that. Like Big Pharma, they only make money when people stay victims and
believe they cannot help themselves. Here at NaturalNews, we specialize in
teaching people how to restore health by taking responsibility for their own
health outcomes, thereby avoiding the outrageous costs (and inhumane suffering)
caused by the medical industry.
