Taking care of your eyes and

|
In 1943, Aldous Huxley published a book entitled "The Art of Seeing". In it he wrote:
"So long as the art of seeing is not taught to children as a part of their normal educatiion, the trade in artificial lenses is not likely to suffer more than a trifling loss……… Human sloth and inertia will guarantee the opticians at least nine tenths of their present business".
Caring for and exercising your eyes regularly and developing good visual habits can lead to a significant improvement in your eyesight and will certainly help to prevent it from deteriorating further as time goes by.
People make changes in their diet, lifestyle, exercise routine and daily hygiene in order to improve or prevent health problems linked to every other system of the body, but seem to accept that the only solution to poor eyesight is to wear glasses or contact lenses. In addition, there appears to be unquestioning acceptance of the fact that eyesight will nevertheless continue to deteriorate and that increasingly stronger prescriptions will be needed and sometimes surgery.
Would someone with a leg problem calmly accept the progression from walking stick to crutches to zimmer frame and wheelchair before finally becoming bed-ridden? I think it is highly unlikely. Why, therefore, do so many people think there is no alternative solution for their eyes?
This workshop will provide you with a range of advice and activities, that involve no extra cost at all, only the time you are prepared to invest in carrying them out. It applies to everyone, of any age, who wishes to take active responsibility for improving and maintaining eyesight naturally.
