Eye, Eye, ya Eye

How many of us today have problems with vision? Its one of those things that can be fixed by laser surgery or not. There are many ways that doctors say they can try to help with your vision. I have macular degeneration and they wanted me to have a needle stuck in my eye once a month for 6 months. I went the first month and never went back again. The pain OMG!

They don’t guarantee that works, but they say that it slows down the process of loosing your sight.

Then I remembered my uncle going through the same thing at the veteran hospital and the pain he went through and he said it was making his eyes worse.

Then I remembered another friend and she had done the same thing and she lost her sight in that eye they kept sticking a needle into. Her pain never went away.

I remembered too late, and had the procedure done. Just one time is all it took to not continue. But I do get pain in that eye once in a while, ever since I let them stick that needle in my eye.

There are better ways to help your vision and a needle is not one of them.

As our problems come upon us with age, here we are having to make choices that we  are not sure will work for us, “There has to be a way.” There is!

But in order for this to happen, we need to take it very seriously. Using the natural way is best but it well take time to reverse what has happened. Just like it took time to get you to the way you are now.

Gingko Biloba, has antioxidants that improve blood flow to the retina and protects nerve cells.

Coleus which contains forskolin, reduces fluid production in the eye.

Eyebright hastens recovery of conjunctivitis. More of a folk remedy comes in tea form, used on the eyes.

When taking supplements make sure you are taking the right amount for your age.

As we get older, we tend to need more than someone younger.

I found this on Google, its called Natural Eye Care and it has an index to eye conditions it is very interesting. You can read of the conditions you are having, describes from what age it could of started and why. It also shows you what kind of vitamins and supplements help the the eyes with blood flow. And it that’s not enough, you will also find out about what food may help to keep your vision as clear as possible.

It also says to keep in touch with your eye doctor so that he can check and see how your vision is.

Your eye sight is very important, and to be able to see and enjoy the beauty of life you need to take your eye care very seriously.

I know its not easy, I struggle to eat the right food and take my supplements sometimes. And now with the new technology, looking into our computers, phones, laptops, that is not helping our eyes but making it worse.
