Today we’re going to talk about how to help improve eyesight, and I’m going to show you the best exercise to correct bad eyesight. If you want to be able to see close-up without glasses, this video is for you. 

People wear corrective glasses, but they don’t really correct anything. They really could basically make your eyes dependent on the glasses, and then you end up needing a stronger prescription. 

It’s the shape of the lens that allows a person to focus on something that’s either far or near. What controls the lens in a muscle called the ciliary muscle. When the muscle contracts, you’re able to see close-up. If you can’t see close-up, you may have a problem with this muscle. 

Most people spend a lot of their time looking at things close-up rather than far away. If you contract the ciliary muscle constantly to look at things close-up, the lens could become atrophied to the point where it won’t work well anymore. 

Something simple you could do is just go outside. Go for a walk and look at things in the distance. Spend 45 minutes to an hour just looking far away and focusing on distant objects. This could help take the stress off of the eyes and give them some relief.

I used to work nights driving a car for 7 years and my 20/20 vision started to suffer and I couldn’t read street signs unless I was real close. What helped me was doing exercises for my eyes. I parked and sat in my vehicle and focused on a smudge on the window for 3-5 seconds then focused on something in the far distance inline with the smudge, I alternated back and forth for about 10 minutes. I did this once a day for a month and my vision went back to 20/20 and I didn’t have problems reading street signs anymore. This was back in 2008 and my vision has been fine ever since. Now and then I do that exercise for a few days just so I don’t lose my good vision again

Someone who finally explained what is going on and how to fix it. Amazing.

Tried the advice. Was skeptical, but after about 20 minutes of staring from my window at the furthest objects I could see, they actually began to clear up some, even making out outlines of things. There's some strain felt, but from the perspective of a muscle being used to some soreness, I suspect that's why. When I refocused back to closer views, I have to say, things were much more vibrant and clear. A nice exercise. Thanks for sharing.

I began doing this years before I saw this video. First step: I put away the glasses (except for night driving). Then I did this technique and recovered much better vision after just a few weeks. Thirteen years later I passed the state driving license eye test (after two interim renewal eye tests when I wore my glasses) without eyeglasses. Most "healthcare" today is, I think, about money for the licensed practitioners (in cahoots with state, federal, & professional bureaucracies).

This is really true! I started using glasses at the age of 9 until the age of 15 but I remember I didn’t wear them all the time and realized my eyesight was getting lazier. I stopped wearing them and now I’m 30 and my eyesight is very good. In fall, spring and summer time I walk a lot outside and meditate in the wood looking at the trees, 🍁, 💐, soil, sky, etc... It just beautiful...

I need to stop watching so many of Dr.Berg's videos, then I can see again!

[amandasmit]

Most people dont look at the sunset and clouds anymore, because that is for free. Today everything had a price on it. But thanks doc. Good advice. 🇿🇦💟

One day I was looking at this chick....and baaam my wife fixed my eyes!!

[nasimahmad]

I remember a book titled "Better Sight Without Glasses" by W.H. Bates that taught the same thing. I was not very dedicated to it but by using its exercises on and off I was able to go from -6 to -3 in about a year. Excellent lesson by Dr. Berg and it's always an education seeing his videos.

[rippleling]

Yes!! My eyes started improving over these past few years. I couldn't figure out why. Now, after watching this little gem of a video, I know why!!! I've been making more of a habit of going out to my local parks and spending time meditating, walking, enjoying the beautiful outdoors. Not only has my general health improved over the past handful of years, but my eyesight has been improving as well. I sometimes still use my reading glasses, especially at night when it's darker and I'm getting tired, but right now, as I type this, I'm not wearing my reading glasses. I think you're right. It's really that simple. Thanks for your videos.

when i was a young boy i told my father i wanted him to buy some glasses for me to see better. He took me outside and asked me what the big yellow thing was up in the sky was. I told him it was the sun. then he said: the sun is ninety three million miles away. If you can see that, how much further do you want to see?

[lisameyer]

I didn’t wear my glasses or contacts for a year and my eye doctor said my vision was 50% better!! I am 61 and I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 10!!

[dianaweir]

good advice 67 and still have 20/20 worked outside all my life!

[Autonomous]

I improved my eyesight by 50% just by not wearing my glasses whenever I could. This was confirmed by my optician.

[OniMetsuki]

I've been telling people exactly all you have just said for many decades ! Even the atrophying of the lens due to lack of use. I suggested the exercise too.
So nice to have a simple short video I can show them.
You know how many people have listened to me and worked with the advice that need glasses though.... Not a single one. Sometimes I think there is a deeper problem that they are ignoring.
Great little video thank you, maybe having a Dr say what I have been saying will make them pay better attention and put more effort in.

[denniskromann]

I recall using the computer for hours with my eyesight getting worse, then going outside for about an hour and found my eyesight restored. I never thought of it until listening to your, DR.BERG video about our eyesight. Thank you for that simple observation and solution.

[Deyan_Velikov]

actually 20 years ago i had a piano teacher, that told me to do the exact same thing-after few hours of practicing the piano i should go and relax my eyes looking at the sea. :) Nice advice!

[boncoon]

Dr. Berg, You deserve a medal or an award (the Nobel peace prize, I think) for all your contribution to the betterment of mankind.

[jerrydecouto]

Everything you put out is so beneficial to so many of us, Dr Berg. Thanks a million!

[shel]

Dr. Berg is so knowledgeable and educating us. I am so grateful. I think every part of our body if we do not use it we lose it. If you think you are old, you will be old. If you think you are sick you will be sick. We must not stop doing things to improve our brain, exercise, eat healthy and think positively and always pray. 🙏🌏✌
