Nearsightedness or myopia is an error in how the eye focuses light. Due to this refractive error, people suffering from myopia, see nearby objects clearly while not being able to focus clearly
on distant objects.
Many factors contribute to this condition. One of the most common is continued near-point stress activity such as reading.

Studies show a correlation between the development of myopia and school-age children. It seems that prolonged close vision activity such as reading...
Triggers Nearsightedness!
Close vision stress causes the muscles of the visual system to remain in a state of constant contraction. Once in this state, the muscles don’t relax enough to focus on objects at a distance. Over time, the eye adapts to the stress by elongating the eyeball. The eyeball remains in this semi-permanent state until it relaxes sufficiently.
There was a controlled study conducted on a group of Inuit families in Barrow, Alaska, years ago by a very respected group of eye doctors. It evaluated the relationship between genetics and the environment in bad vision.
It was an ideal setting in that the parents and grandparents had little or no formal education, while the children regularly attended public school. The study results showed that...
The Uneducated Parents And Grandparents Had Little Or No Form Of Nearsightedness!
Almost 58% of the children attending school were diagnosed as myopic.
A genetic malfunction increase of 58% over one generation would be impossible.
The researchers came to the conclusion that the stress put upon the eyes while performing continuous near-point work in the classroom was causing myopia among the children.
--Young et al. 1969. American Journal of Optometry and Archives of American Academy of Optometry
So what causes nearsightedness if it's not genetic? Science has also answered this question.
It's a condition called near-point stress. Near-point stress is what your eyes experience when you focus on anything close to you: computers, books, television, etc.
Focusing up close is not natural to your eyes. Your eyes are in a relaxed state when they are looking at a distance and focusing up close puts a stress on them.
The American Optometric Association identifies "near-point stress" as being...

The Computer Vision Syndrome and The Solution How To Relieve Eye Strain
Today you'll learn a simple 10-second technique that relieves eye strain and stress almost immediately. This technique is especially useful if you do a lot of close vision work on the computer or reading, and by the simple fact you’re reading this now, that's probably you!
Christine Sindt, O.D. of the University of Iowa estimates that Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) affects some 75% of all who work in front of a computer. Persons over the age of 40 are especially prone to CVS. The bottom line is...
Your Computer May Be Harming Your Eyes!
Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is a complex mix of eye and vision problems related to near work, and experienced during or after computer use. According to the American Optometric
Association, if you’ve experienced any of the following 14 symptoms, you’ve experienced CVS:
Tired eyes... Eye strain... Periods of blurred near vision...
Occasional blurred distance vision... Headaches... Dry eyes...
Slowness in changing the focus of your eyes... Burning eyes...
Contact lens discomfort... Changes in color perception...
Sensitivity to glare... Excessive tearing... Sore eyes... Red eyes.
The obvious way to prevent CVS is to stop using the computer, but that is not always practical. So, here are 4 tips to help you monitor your eyes...
Set Up An Ergonomic Workstation
A poorly located computer screen causes awkward body positions. Dr. James Sheedy (“Dr. Ergo”) states on his website, “Because the eyes lead the body, your body will assume
whatever position is required to enable your eyes to see comfortably. A poorly located computer screen causes awkward body positions.”
Your monitor, and for that matter, your phone, should be approximately 20-28 inches away, and 4-9 inches below your eyes. According to Dr. Ergo, your eyes work best with a slight downward gaze.
Eliminate Computer Screen Glare
Glare is the most common cause of eyestrain and fatigue. Modify the lighting in your work area to eliminate glare and harsh reflections. If your monitor is the cause, adjust the brightness and contrast, and if necessary, get an anti-glare filter hood for your screen.

Adjust Your Computer Screen
Adjust the colors on your display. Black characters on a white background are the most comfortable, according to Dr. Ergo. Avoid dark backgrounds and strive for the highest contrast
between the characters on your screen and the background.
LCD screens do not flicker like cathode ray tube monitors (CRTs) do. CRTs also deteriorate gradually over time, which could be the catalyst for your CVS symptoms. If you currently have an older CRT, consider an upgrade. Prices on LCD monitors have dropped drastically in recent years.
Practice The “10-10-10” Rule
Whenever you perform close vision work (which is what creates near-point eye strain) for over 10 consecutive minutes, look up and focus on anything at least 10 feet away for at least 10 seconds.
Do this regardless of whether the close vision work you do is at a computer or reading paperwork. This simple technique will immediately relieve your eyes from the stress caused by close vision work. It can help save your vision and allow you to see more clearly for years to come.

How To Keep Your Eyes Healthy For Life
Today I'm going to share with you a handful of simple "common sense" things you can do to maintain healthy eyes for the rest of your life.
You'll want to read this lesson over right now. Because if you neglect doing these things you could be causing yourself unnecessary vision problems.
=>>> Click Here to Improve Eye Vison
What you read may seem like “commonsense”. The problem is few people implement these practices from day to day. On the other hand, by following the simple advice below you can preserve and improve your vision naturally.
Here they are...
Use Ample Light When Reading
Your eyes function better while doing close vision work when plenty of light is available. As we get older our eye sight diminishes. (In lesson 9, I'll show you how to fight the effects of presbyopia, or "aging vision.) Poor lighting causes a tremendous amount of strain on your eyes. Remember, over-stressed and weak eye muscles are a major contributing factor to poor vision.
Keep your reading area well lit at all times.

Stop Smoking And Don’t Start In The First Place
Not only does smoking cause upper respiratory, circulation and other health problems... but...smoking is a risk factor for many eye conditions. Cataracts, glaucoma, Graves’ ophthalmopathy, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration all are aggravated by smoking.
Do the best you can to cut down or stop smoking altogether. If you haven’t started, then don’t. You’ll get a lot more mileage out of your eyes by not smoking to begin with.
Drink Plenty Of Water And Stay Hydrated
Dehydration wreaks havoc on your visual system. Really. Because water is vital to life. No one can survive but a few days without water.
Irritated, red itchy eyes and decreased visual acuity are linked to dehydration. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your eyes lubricated. The recommended amount is eight to ten glasses.
Cut Down On The Caffeine As Much As Possible
Do you like to slurp down one or more grande latte's in the morning? Do you drink soda like it’s going out of style? Do you find yourself itching for the next “fix” of anything caffeine laden and just can’t get enough?
Know this: While there’s nothing wrong with a little caffeine up to a point, it could cause vision problems. You see, even one cup of coffee can elevate intraocular eye pressure up to 3mm hg, and caffeine can contribute to dry, scratchy eyes. Enjoy it, just don’t go overboard with it.
Chill Out And Enjoy Life More
Are you a high-strung, type-A personality? Well, you might want to consider “chilling out” a bit. Because there’s scientific evidence that stressing out can increase eye pressure by three times normal levels.
By taking it easy, you will keep eye pressure closer to normal levels. That alone will keep your eyes healthier for the long haul.
All of these common sense tips can help to improve and reserve your vision for years to come.

Immediate Relief For Tired Eyes to Improve Vision
This lesson reveals a simple secret to vision improvement and the prevention of vision loss.
Do this throughout the day and you'll see more clearly. Tired, sore eyes become more focused. Tension and eye strain disappear. Vision improvement and the prevention of vision loss depends on two things...
=>>> Click Here to Improve Eye Vison
First, you must strengthen the entire visual system. This includes the muscle structure and focusing ability of the eyes.
Second, you must relieve the muscular stresses that cause poor vision to begin with. Our eyes are under constant stress. Close vision work – like using a computer and reading – is a fact of modern day life.
You can’t eliminate these stresses altogether. But you can provide your eyes with immediate relief... and thus...
Help Preserve Clear And Focused Vision!
Here’s a quick and fun way to reinvigorate tired, sore eyes...
What I’m about to describe is a technique taken right out of the Rebuild Your Vision Program. It’s called the “warm washcloth technique”. Do this whenever your eyes feel worn out and
strained.
The way it works is you run a wash cloth under warm water for about 30 seconds. Make sure the cloth gets soaked with very warm water. Then ring it out completely.
Fold it twice so it’s about 2 to 4 inches wide. Lie down with your eyes closed in a quiet room and place the warm washcloth over your eyes. With your eyes closed, pretend you’re focusing out into space. Remain in this relaxing position for at least 5 minutes. Warm the washcloth as needed. It will create complete darkness and...

Aid In Relaxing The Muscles Of Your Eyes.
Now let me share with you an advanced technique...
While performing the warm washcloth technique, alternate the warm washcloth with a cold washcloth. For example, use the warm washcloth for 3-4 minutes. Then apply the cold washcloth. Go back to the warm and so on.
This simple technique gets the blood flowing to your eyes. It eases away the stress in the muscles around the eyes. You’ll feel the tension melt way like butter in a microwave.
Best Of All It's Very Enjoyable!
I explain another fantastic relaxation exercise for your eyes... and... how to strengthen your visual system the natural way in my Rebuild Your Vision Program.

EyeVisionSufferer, Try This Eye Exercise For Better Vision
Ways To Improve Your Vision Naturally
Here's one of the eight easy eye exercises that make up the Rebuild Your Vision Program. This eye exercise works for both nearsighted and farsighted people.
It initially takes some time to master each of the 3 levels, but as you progress through the Rebuild Your Vision Program you'll find they become much easier as your eyes strengthen.
If you haven't already, you'll find the instructions for Level 1 of the Three Cups Eye Exercise on our website at:
=>>> Click Here to Improve Eye Vison
You'll need to master Level 1 before beginning Level 2.
In order to perform Level 2 you'll need to print this diagram:
=>>> Click Here to Improve Eye Vison
You'll also need a comfortable chair and a quiet room.
Ready to continue rebuilding your vision? Here we go!
1. Place your chair so that you can focus on an object at least 10 feet away. The object can be in the same room or outside a window -- just choose a distant object.
2. Hold the Three Cups chart approximately 12 to 24 inches in front of you at eye level.
3. Position the chart so that, as you look just over the top of it, you can see the distant object you have chosen. Focus on that object.
4. You should notice in your lower peripheral vision that there appear to be three circles on the chart. (Your eyes will feel much more relaxed than they felt while focusing on the pen in Level 1.)
5. Try to adjust your focus on the center circle, as though you were trying to look through the laminated chart at the distant object.
In other words, maintain your point of focus on the distant object but look at the center circle. This is the only way you'll be able to obtain and hold the image of the center circle. If you lose the image of the circle, look at the distant object and it should reappear.
6. While you focus on the center circle, maintaining your point of focus on the distant object, you will notice that the circle appears three-dimensional. It will look as if you were peering down into a Styrofoam cup -- only this time, the Styrofoam cup will appear upside-down, as if it were overturned.
Note: Level 1 and 2 may appear very similar, but they are not. In order to achieve success in Level 2, you must be focused and relaxed. You cannot force your eyes to perform this drill. You must follow the directions exactly, and let the images appear on their own.

The reason people report such great results using the Rebuild Your Vision Program is because it integrates all eight eye exercises into a complete system for natural vision improvement.

3 Essential Tips to Sharper Eyesight Without Corrective Lenses
Essential Tip #1...
Try not to wear your glasses all the time. Throughout the day,
think of your glasses as a tool and use them only when you
need them. Put a piece of masking tape with a reminder on
the base of your computer screen. Write a reminder on your
bookmark. Be conscious of their use.
*Be sure to always keep safety in mind. Never perform an
activity that could be dangerous to yourself or others without
your glasses or contacts.
Essential Tip #2...
If you can't see the computer screen without glasses, enlarge
the font on your internet browser. To do this, hold the CTRL
key down while scrolling your mouse wheel (the small wheel
on top of the mouse that scrolls the page up and down) away
from you.
Each scroll forward will increase the page and font size by one.
To reduce the font size simply continue to hold the CTRL key
and scroll the opposite direction (towards you).
Essential Tip #3...
If you love to read, try to get books from the library with larger
print. This may allow you to read them without your glasses or
contacts.
These small steps will go a long way toward preserving your
vision for years to come.
So remember, the first step to sharpening your eyesight is not
relying on corrective lenses. Use glasses and contacts as you
need them. Enlarge the fonts on your computer screen and
take off your glasses while doing computer work. And if you
read a lot of books, either buy or rent books from the library
with larger print.
These tips are an easy yet effective way to helping you improve
your vision naturally...
