Natural Treatment for Improving Eye sight?

Hi guyz, Just wanna know about the Natural treatments available for Correcting or Improving vision.I have a slight Astigmatism of less than 1 in both eyes. I am planning to have a career in Armed forces(may be flying). So i want to know about any Natural or Alternative treatment available for Rectifying this condition. I dont want to go for Surgical procedure like LASIK or PRK.Lasik and PRK are not a strict taboo in forces and they can be easiy detectable thru a test. I have heard about Bates method and Exercises, but dont know how much effective they are in correcting Astigmatism. Please advice. Thanks in advance.

1. If I were you, I would take any chances where my eyes are concerned. Maybe my leg or my arm but not my eyes. Please check the advance registry of opticians. They offer so many free visits these days. You just have to pay for the operation. My mother just had the Lazer thing done and she seem to be as good as new. If you're not sure what to do. Go to your general doctor and he will refer you to a specialist.
2. ACCORDING TO THE SECOND SITE LISTED BELOW THESE EXERCISES DO IMPROVE EYESIGHT IN THOSE WITH ASTIGMATISMS......... Exercises for a Better Vision - Palming Palming "Palming" was originally a yoga technique. After Bates noticed its beneficial effects on the visual system, he "borrowed" it and incorporated into his system of vision improvement. Palming works by calming the visual system. Our eyes see by receiving light signals. If there were no light entering the eyes, one should expect to see nothing. Instead, in eyes with defective eyesight, there appears swirling patches of colours, creating pictures where there should be none. This is a symptom of the eyestrain causing defective vision. The act of palming makes people aware of the strain. The warmth from the hands helps relaxes the tense eyeballs. Some people claim to be able to the "inner energy" or "chi" emanating from the palms. I think we can safely dismiss those claims. How to do Place your palms over your closed eyes, letting the fingers cross over at the forehead. Slightly cup your palms such that you are not pressingon the eyeballs. Feel the warmth of the hands radiate and diffuse gently into your eyeballs. Think of the most peaceful scene that you can imagine. Relax... A few things to note Do not press against the eyeballs with your palms. This will put pressure on the blood vessels in the eyeballs and reduce circulation of blood and nutrients. Make sure that as much light as possible is blocked out by the palms. The exact position of the palms is up to the individual. Crossing the fingers at the forehead usually helps. Put yourself in a comfortable and proper posture e.g. don't slouch Remember to keep your eyes closed, behind the palms. And keep your hands clean, otherwise there will be the attack of the pimples! The most important thing is to relax. Of course, one can't try to relax. The harder you try, the more tense you become. The trick is to imagine pleasant scenery such as floating clouds in a blue sky, a peaceful sunrise at the top of the mountains.
3. Improving Eye Sight Naturally? Astigmatism, in my view, could be a slight hardening of the lens so that is does not have the necessary elasticity to adept to what is viewed. If this is so, the elasticity has to be regained. Acidity of the body plays a great role in that. Acidity ca be easily measured by a strip from a role of pH paper (from a health food store). Urine and saliva should both be 7.5 at all times, in my experience. A pH of 7 is neutral (not good for absorption of nutrients), under 7 is acidic (when all troubles start) and over 7 is alkaline (where healing starts). Being too alkaline by artificial means is not good either. 7.5 at all times, I feel, is ideal! Worth checking, if necessary several times daily, and keeping a list! You may look for a list form and an explaining article at http://www.biochakra.com under Hilites (for free print out). This list would show what would make you alkaline and what would make you acid. Furthermore, Silicea and Calcium Fluoride may be needed. These are homeopathic remedies from a health food store. I would place 2 pills each in 1 ounce of water and take a drop under my tongue every few minutes until the condition gets better. Then less and less often. When forgetting, I would start over. I would make the remedy fresh every day and less when less is needed. A very inexpensive but effective method is Dinshah Color MedicineTM. It uses a reading lamp and color gels of a certain frequency which entrain the off cell frequencies to their healthy level. It is healing with the speed of LightTM, literally! Color gels are available through http://www.biochakra.com. Especially the colors Turquoise and Scarlet would probably apply. I found the Bates method likely to be based on ancient Chinese exercises for the eyes! The Chinese had 20/20 vision up to old age, although when producing fine needle crafts. I also found that Dr. Hicketier of Germany may have used the Chinese method for his eye exercises! I feel these are worth a try! I feel that the main point is to get to the root of the eye problem, which seems to be acidity. Easy to prove or disprove by measuring several times a day. If acidic, measuring should continue for at least 2 weeks, noting down everything consumed, emotions etc., to see what makes alkaline and what makes acid. Acidity hardens the body and dries it out! There are also good eye drops like eye bright or similar from a health food store. They nourish the eye and may help to heal. Yet, the main point is to heal the entire body, and if acidic, to get it alkaline! Much success with bright eyes! Cordially, India.Magica
