How to Improve Eye Vision

Vision improvement can be accomplished without the use of medications that carry side effects. If you are currently on medication for your vision, these methods should be performed in conjunction with your current treatment plan, not as a substitute. Consult your health care professional to find out if you are a good candidate for these remedies. Unless if you are allergic to any of these suggestions, you should not experience any negative side effects, as they are all homeopathic in nature. Give each solution a week or two before you judge the results.

Instructions

• 1

  Add wolfberry to your diet. Wolfberry comes from the Goji plant, which is used in areas of Asia. According to a study conducted by the Kansas State University, wolfberry relieves oxidative stress known to cause cell impairment in the ocular area. Oxidative stress is often caused by diseases such as diabetes. Wolfberry is not commonly found at grocery markets. You can order it online through companies such as Richnature.com.

  Increase the amount of Vitamin A you consume. Poor night vision is a sign of Vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is found in foods such as butternut squash, spinach, apricots, mangoes and sweet potato. You should get a dose of Vitamin A at least every other day in order to improve your vision. If you take Vitamin A as a supplement, never take more than the recommended amount, as it can be toxic in large amounts.

  Add more B12 to your system. You can buy B12 supplements at health and nutrition stores. Vegetarians are more likely to lack the amount of B12 needed by the body, as B12 is found in meat products. The fastest acting B12 comes in an under-the-tongue spray form.

  Ask your medical professional if there are any medications you are currently taking that cause pressure in the eye area. If there is, find out if there is a medicine you can use as a substitute. If no substitute is available, use aplha-lipoic acid to decrease eye pressure. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant found in dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach and collard greens.

  Unclog your eyes' drainage system by increasing the amount of Omega-3s you take in. Blockages are common in people suffering from glaucoma. Omega-3, which is found in fish oil, decreases inflammation, which causes blockages around the eyes. You will need 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams a day to drain a blockage. Substitute Omega-3 for flax seed oil or black current oil at 1,000 milligrams per day.

  Wear sunglasses outdoors whenever possible. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause macular degeneration. People with light colored eyes are at an even greater risk. Purchase glasses that have as close to 100 percent ultraviolet protection as possible.
