By now, we all know that the worldwide economy is in rough shape, and it’s not likely to recover overnight. Everyone’s looking for ways to cut back their spending, and sometimes, it turns out, the old ways our grandmothers practiced are the best: instead of Windex, clean your windows with vinegar and water. To cure a cigarette habit, take before breakfast 1/2 teaspoon each of rochelle salts and cream of tartar; also chew ginseng root and swallow the juice. Use old shirts cut into rags to clean the house instead of purchasing paper towels.

Well, it turns out Grandma knew a lot about eye care, too. The eye exercises in the Rebuild Your Vision program are based on techniques that have been around for decades, way before contact lenses and Lasik surgery were invented. These time-tested techniques not only save your vision, but they also save you money—plenty, as it turns out.

After all, it is recommended that people who wear glasses visit a doctor every two years. If your prescription has changed, you will need new lenses at the very least and will probably want to update the frames as well. And with health-care costs rising, glasses, especially designer frames, are increasingly expensive and usually not covered by your health-care plan. In addition, many people have more than one pair of glasses just in case a pair gets broken or misplaced.

With contact lenses, you not only have to pay for the lenses (which, again, many health-care plans do not cover), but also the ongoing costs of solution, rewetting drops, and lens cases. If you add it all up, it’s a pretty penny:

Doctor visit: $150 every two years
Prescription glasses: $320 every two years
Contacts: $48 a month ($576/year)
Contact supplies: $20 a month ($240/year)

TOTAL: $2,102 every two years!

When you do the math, you can see that the Rebuild Your Vision program is not just great for your eyes—it’s great for your wallet as well.

Here are some other money-saving vision-care tips:

Follow the 10-10-10 rule. We can’t say it enough: this simple exercise could save your eyesight from deterioration—and it’s FREE! Rebuild Your Vision – Naturally

The near-point stress associated with reading, watching television, and computer use is a major cause of vision problems. The 10-10-10 exercise relieves near-point stress by allowing your internal “ciliary muscle” to expand for a few seconds: every time you are performing close vision work for over 10 consecutive minutes, look up and focus on anything that is at least 10 feet away, for at least 10 seconds.

Take your vitamins. There’s a reason why nutrition is such a hot topic these days. Research has shown over and over again that getting the right vitamins can not only help maintain your vision, but also prevent diseases like macular degeneration, glaucoma and catarcts. Which saves you a ton in medical costs down the road.

And here’s another tip: Many of the same foods that are great for your eyes, such as lutein-packed tomatoes, carrots, spinach, and squash, are also inexpensive and easy to prepare.

Finally, invest in a good pair of sunglasses. Now, we know what you’re thinking: why end an article on money-saving tips by telling me to buy sunglasses? Aren’t good sunglasses expensive? And the answer is, sunglasses may be one of the single best investments you can make in your vision. And they don’t have to be spendy to work.

Sunglasses protect our eyes from UV radiation, which in the short term can cause photokeratis (a kind of eye sunburn) and in the long term can lead to cataracts and macular degeneration. More important than the designer or the lens color or style is the degree to which the lenses filter out UV rays. Make sure your sunglasses block 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B rays by looking for a label that says, “Provides 100% UV protection” or ” Provides 100% UV400 protection.” The American Optometric Association offers a Seal of Acceptance for sunglasses that block 99 percent to 100 percent of UV radiation. Look for this seal to be sure you are getting the maximum protection.

A tip on how to relax your eyes.

Briskly rub your palms to charge them with electricity and place the cupped palms over your closed eyes. The fingers of the right hand should be crossed over the fingers of the left hand on the forehead.

Or, having a hot cup’a something? Warm your hands up on the cup instead (just make sure it’s not HOT)

The elbows should rest on a desk or table, and the neck should be kept straight. Don’t bend your head. Do deep breathing while palming your eyes.

You can help improve your vision: No Drug. No Injection, No Surgery.

After the beautiful fall season winter has arrived full force. The winter season brings with it a cold wind that can bother our eyes.

Our whole body needs more care during the winter season, and of course this includes our eyes. Sometimes people tend to forget about the eyes.

Taking the proper supplements can be one step to help us keep our eyes healthy.

Also, in the cold weather we tend to be inside more, and what do we do inside? Watch television or watch the computer screen. This is called “near point stress” because we tend to stare at one spot, sometimes even without blinking.

So, when doing that, make sure every 10 minutes, take an eye break and look at something far away…relax your eyes, don’t stress them for long periods of time. And, remember to blink!

Tip: When you come in from the cold, and you have made yourself a nice hot drink: hold your cup in your hands, and then put your warm (NOT hot) hands gently over your eyes, and just relax them.

Dear Reader,

I am sure that you have heard of age related macular degeneration and you probably even know someone, a family member or friend, who is suffering from it. I know of two people personally.

Macular degeneration is a chronic eye disease marked by deterioration of the Macula, the center part of the retina. This deterioration causes loss of central vision.  Central vision is necessary for Just about everything such as driving, reading, recognizing things like faces and even in doing detail work. Just think if you had a blind spot right in the middle of your vision.

AMD rarely (but it does) causes total blindness, it  does cause blind spots in the victim’s central vision and it does worsen the quality of their life.

*********************************************
According to Prevent Blindness America, macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss and legal blindness in Americans 65 and over.

Approximately 13 million Americans suffer from it. The exact reasons are not known, however, there are risk factors involved:
- age
- smoking
- family history
- sunlight especially without glasses
- high blood pressure
- cardiovascular disease

And it seems that women and caucasians do get it more than other groups.

Both eyes are usually effected, and at different rates.

Symptoms to watch for:
- Straight lines look wavy or there are shadowy areas or empty spots in the center of the vision.

Don’t smoke. Smoking can double the risk.

Always protect your eyes from the suns ultraviolet rays.

Watch out for elevated blood pressure…this can drastically rise the risk, as much as 3 times.

Make sure you eat sufficient fruit and vegetables. A diet high in a variety of fruits and veggies can help diminish the risk.  Dietary supplements of vitamins E and C, beta-carotene, zinc and copper may help delay its progression. (Always consult your doctor before taking supplements.)

* Blue eyes can become green as a person ages, but green eyes can’t become blue.
* Only 1% to 2% of the world’s population has green eyes: it is the least common eye color. Green eyes are found most commonly in people of Celtic, Slavic, and Germanic descent.
* A child’s true eye color cannot be determined until the age of 3.
* Amber-colored eyes are nicknamed “wolf eyes” due to the high rate of the amber eye color in wolves.
* Heterochromia is a condition in which one iris is a different color than the other iris: actresses Demi Moore (one green eye and one hazel eye) and Mila Kunis (one blue eye and one green-brown eye) have this condition.

Do you notice that every once in a while your vision gets spurts of being “really good and clear”?

Wouldn’t it be super if you could actually make those few bursts of good vision permanent? Good News!  You really could keep that burst of good vision.

A lot of bad vision is actually caused because of:

- near stress (looking at a single spot for long periods of time without a break to your eyes) and – staring.

We do put our eyes under undue stress causing many of our eye problems.

There is hope and good news:  What you have to start doing is learn how to relax those eye muscles and teach your eyes to be able to “see into the distance” again without that staring feeling.
There are exercises and things you can do to help you relax your eyes. Here is one simple tip:

Blink!  Yes it’s that simple.  The next time you are on your computer, reading a text book or an instruction manual, check and see how often you blink.

Blinking is nature’s way of protecting your eyes.  Near stress is our way of hurting our eyes.

Get pro-active in your vision care.  It’s eays and it’s NOT expensive:

The Rebuild Your Vision Program will guide you step by step.  All you have to do is…DO IT
