EYEnews: CLARITY, FOCUS AND VISION FOR YOUR SIGHT AND YOUR LIFE

---

Does the Sun Get To Your Eyes? Are your eyes sensitive to sunlight? Does it bother your eyes to be out in the mid-day sun? Contrary to what many people believe, this sensitivity is not because the sun is too bright. It's more likely due to the fact that your eyes are starving for natural light. Spend a day in a cave, and your eyes would hurt when you come out into the sunlight. That's an extreme example, but it indicates what may have been happening to your eyes. Consider This: The intensity of light is measured in lux. Sunlight on an average day can range between 32,000 - 100,000 lux. On the other hand, a typical family room has about 50 lux of light, while a brightly lit office has about 400 lux. When you spend too much time seeing in artificial light, your eyes literally become starved. They get used to what is an unnaturally too-low level of light. Sunlight is a nutrient for the body just like food and water. The fact that most of us spend nearly all day under artificial light has far-reaching consequences for our vision - and our overall health. Try This: Sunglasses are not the answer. Neither are those transition lenses you may have seen advertised. They just perpetuate the problem. The only way to truly relieve your eyes of sensitivity to light is by getting them re-accustomed to what they have always needed - regular exposure to sunlight. Click here and I'll show you a quick exercise that takes a couple of minutes, but will make your eyes feel so much stronger and less sensitive.

Care for your eyes,
