20/20 Vision Quest

You can improve your eyesight by regularly performing this series of simple exercises.

By Cybèle Tomlinson

Most of us, thinking these eye conditions are inevitable and unchangeable, simply opt for corrective lenses. But there is a danger in taking this route, because glasses encourage the shape of the eye to remain the same. "Yes, you put on glasses and you can see 20/20, but with time you come to depend on them," says Schneider. "People believe that vision can only deteriorate, not improve. But eyes can improve, and they do improve, given the right conditions."

Ravi Kumar

Good Article.

Dawn in Sanskrit

Very interesting article. I would also add what my father, 88, a yogi has done all his life in India. Each morning after his asanas he sits in a cross legged position and does eye excercises.. up and down, rt and left, diagonal and then rotating clock and anti clockwise. Five times. Simple. He is an avid reader and credits his good vision to his yoga.
