1. Vision Tip of the Month
Save Your Eyesight at the Computer: Do you ever experience eye strain, fatigue, blurred or double vision at the computer? If you answer is yes, you’re not alone: According to the American Optometric Association, 9 out of 10 people who work at computers do, too.
And glasses aren’t always the answer – and they shouldn’t be. Glasses treat the symptoms, not the underlying causes. Symptoms of Computer Stress Syndrome are primarily caused by: 1. External factors that contribute to visual stress, and 2. Mis-use of the eyes at the computer.
To start eliminating external factors:
1. Sit 18-24 inches from the computer screen. Too close and your eyes have to work too hard to converge; too far and your eyes have to work too hard to focus.
2. Look downward at the screen. Your line of sight should be level with, or slightly above, the top of the computer screen.
3. Eliminate, or reduce, glare that reflects on the screen. Glare forces your eyes to work harder to focus on the text and images on your screen.
To begin using the eyes properly:
1. Take a 3 second vision break by shifting your focus from the screen to a distant object and back again 3 times. Do this every 5 minutes.
2. Keep your eyes blinking. When engrossed at the computer we unconsciously forget to blink. Remember to blink every 3-5 seconds.
3. Be conscious of your peripheral vision. Don’t just stare at the screen. Remember to be aware of your surroundings too.
There’s more to staying healthy at the computer: What’s the best way to adjust your workspace? Why should a mirror sit next to your computer – or on top of it? How can you quickly get rid of a headache caused by Computer Stress Syndrome?
You’ll find these answers, and many more, in Total Health at the Computer, by Martin Sussman and Dr. Ernest Loewenstein (with Howard Sann). Regularly $13.95, Total Health is on sale this month for $9.95. Click here

3. Q & A
Send us any questions you have about your vision and we'll try to answer them in future issues of EYEnews. This month's question:
What problems does The Program for Better Vision help?
The Program for Better Vision helps functional problems of vision – nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, eye imbalances and eye strain. These are called functional problems because they develop as a result of how the brain and eyes function together.
How the brain and eyes learn to function together results from habit patterns and/or tension and strain. That’s why The Program for Better Vision helps people see better. It changes the underlying habits and reduces the mental, emotional and physical tension that can limit seeing clearly.
Functional problems are different from medical problems, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma. For these, The Program for Better Vision helps to increase blood flow and circulation to the visual system, allowing the body to assist in the healing process. In addition, the Cambridge Institute offers nutritional supplements that have been show to improve these medical conditions.
The Program for Better Vision is different in many ways from other products you might have heard about that claim to improve vision. A major difference is the approach in The Program: It is holistic and integrates a complete mind/body philosophy. It’s not just a jumble of eye exercises, but a step-by-step, sequenced method that also includes eye/brain coordination, perceptual training, body, mind and eye relaxation and techniques to develop emotional, mental and visual clarity.
The Program for Better Vision is available either as a book or as an audiotape system. Each has its advantages. The audiotapes make it very easy to do The Program – you just follow along with the tape of the day. The book has the same system and also has additional information for your eyes.
Buy the audiotape Program for Better Vision and we’ll send you the complete book, which sells for $19.95, for FREE. Click here:

THIS ISSUE’S WINNER:
Joe Borgn is 64 and has been wearing glasses for over 30 years. Before he started The Program for Better Vision, his eyes tested at 20/200 acuity for distance. Here’s what Joe says about his results.
“I needed my glasses all the time to drive and to watch TV. After 4 months with The Program I passed my drivers test without glasses. My vision now is 20/40, sometimes 20/50. I can watch TV about 12 feet away and see it clearly. I use my glasses only at night time.”
Congratulations, Joe!
