Though this could probably go on off topic section I think the eyes are a very important part of sport..

I read an artcle (try to post it after) on being able to improve your vision without galsses etc

Over the years I've heard mention of these kinds of things but never come across anything really. Well the article, found on the CHECK Institute web site, sounded really good. The more I learn about the Institute and Check the more impressed I am. Currently my training partner is doing some studies through them and I have seen some of the training videos and met a and talked to a few people that have trained with him or a practitioner. I'm totally impressed by all I see.

So its coming from a source that I respect and I think is very reiable.

So I got one of the books refferenced and it says some interesting stuff.

Basically you can care for your eyes, like we do our teeth. We can exercise them to improve vision etc

Just like most 'experts' in the medical feild, we are given cover ups and band aids and prevention and the actual problem is rarely delt with.

Well there do seem to be ways to improve vision and maintain vision.

To me thats fascinating (especially since I wear glasses).

Here is a little tid bit (just starting book but looked ahead to astigmetism, as its my main problem)

Bad posture is often the cause (genetics are an excuse so much of us use-not as dominant a factor in most health issues as we've been lead to, and would like to believe) of astigmetism.

Sounds crazy-k basically if your head is tilted 10 degrees to the left all the time (mine always was) the pull on the eye muscles is uneven and eventually it distorts the shape of the eye (which is what astigmetism is).

Even as a kid at the hair dressors they had to move my head straight as I didn't know what straight was. To me it was tilted.

Well there are corrective exercises for it (and most if not all eye problems). I'm going to give them a try and I'll let you know if I need to get me perscription reduced.

Parents-it says kids learn to see. Its not all natural amd often eye problems go unnoticed, or eye weaknesses. If a kid has a problem with tieing a shoe you can see it and help or correct. Its much harder to see eye weaknesses (remember a large part is learned). Might be worth looking into if you have kids. Vision plays a huge role in doing well in school etc(taht comes from many sources.

Not surprisingly nutrition plays a role too. Given eye what it needs and antioxidants to protect too...

The book I got is
"Improve Your Vision Without Glasses or Contact Lenses"
-Dr. Steven M. Beresford, Dr. David W. Muris, Dr. Merrill J. Allen, Dr Francis A. Young

I'll post article if I can
