See Better Vision: eye exercises to improve eyesight

Dr. Antonio Orfield and Dr. Steve Gallop are two eye doctors who went beyond conventional thinking to improve their eyesight through a combination of approaches, including weaker and weaker glasses.

Because of their medical background, these doctors have a unique perspective on vision improvement. Their articles combine personal experience with professional training to give you an inspiring and completely informative explanation of how much eyesight relates to total vision.

Both Drs. Orfield and Gallop are part of our Better Vision Network of eye doctors. If you live in either the Boston or Philadelphia area, I'd encourage you to see them. If not, perhaps you can find an eye doctor in your area by going here. (They might not be as progressive as either Dr. Orfield or Dr. Gallop, but if you ask for it, they will give you a weaker pair of glasses after an examination.)

(PLEASE NOTE: Both doctors use some medical terms, since these articles were written for their peers as well as for the general public.

Eye-Saving Recipe Selenium, a trace mineral essential to good health, is incorporated into proteins to make selenoproteins, which are important antioxidant enzymes. The antioxidant properties of selenoproteins help prevent cellular damage to parts of the eye. Other selenoproteins help regulate thyroid function and play a role in the immune system. Selenium helps your body absorb Vitamin E. Selenium deficiencies can contribute to cataracts, macular degeneration, light sensitivity, presbyopia (middle-age sight) and myopia. We recommend 200 mg. a day of selenium. One serving of this recipe gives you approximately 80 mg. (To get all your daily needs of selenium and 18 other important vitamins and minerals, click here.)
