Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is a condition characterized by an inability to properly see clearly when looking at objects at a mid- or far distance, while the ability to see clearly up close is unaffected. Nearsightedness occurs because light rays containing visual images fall in front of the retina instead of on it, making it difficult to properly see at a distance. All that conventional medicine can offer as treatments for nearsightedness are corrective prescription lenses (glasses or contact lenses) or surgery (Lasik and PRK). The most common symptoms of nearsightedness are the inability to see clearly when looking at objects in the distance, a need to squint the eyes in order to see clearly, and eyestrain. Fatigue and headaches are other common symptoms. The main causes of nearsightedness are due to the eyes becoming longer than normal or the cornea becoming too steeply curved. Another common cause has to due with an inability of the eye lens and its associated muscles to properly relax. The primary conventional treatments available for nearsightedness are corrective prescription lenses or surgery. Both treatment methods are not without shortcomings, however, and can potentially result in serious complications. Corrective lenses in the form of glasses or contact lenses are the most commonly prescribed conventional treatment for astigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness. While they can certainly improve symptoms caused by all three of these vision disorders, they can also worsen them as well, and usually do over time, by leading to long-term dependency on lens wearing due to decreased sensitivity of the eye muscles that result from wearing corrective lenses. Other side effects of corrective lenses include increased sensitivity to artificial light, and loss of depth of perception. There are natural cures for Nearsightedness that do not involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs. They involve restoring the biochemical balance of the body, and making dietary and lifestyle changes designed to improve one's general health. |
