You are probably familiar with the myths that are promoted as "truths" of modern medicine.

Flu vaccines that prevent influenza (not exactly), CT scans that are harmless (they are not), chemotherapy saves people from cancer (it actually also destroys healthy cells) and more.

There are such truths in dentistry - mercury fillings are safe (they are not), gum health has nothing to do with the diet (it has), cavities can be treated only by drilling (there are other ways).

However, did you know that you are being lied to even by your opticians? I.e. they are not telling you the whole truth?

Here is a great "truth" that speaks to almost everyone: if you have vision problems, you have to wear glasses for the rest of your life.

And here's another "truth" - glasses improve eyesight (in fact, they contribute to the further deterioration of vision).

They also forget to mention you that the most common cause of vision problems can be corrected via exercise, and that the common cause of vision problems is the weakening of the eye muscles!

Specifically, the eye muscles relax and lose strength, because they are not being used properly.

How do eye muscles lose their function

Your iris is a muscle that controls the pupil, which serves as the eye camera lens.

Its job is to regulate the amount of light that enters the eye. However, the iris is currently of no interested to us, because we are more interested in muscles that change the shape of your lens.

These muscles are part of what is called in the ciliary body of the eye.

Ciliary body contains the muscles that, in real time, change the curvature of your eye lens to achieve the proper focus of the scene you are watching.

"The proper focus" means changing the shape of your lens, so that the rays of light entering your eye fall on the apple of the eye with absolute precision.

Every photographer knows that the focus has to change when you look at something directly in front of you as opposed to something that is far away.

The camera focuses by changing the distance between the two lenses which are located in what is commonly called the "camera lens", although these are actually multiple lenses.

In the human eye, this is achieved by changing the shape of the lens through the contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle.

You have probably never noticed it by yourselves, because you do not feel ciliary muscles when they move, but they achieve this focus for you a thousand times a day, automatically and without any effort on your part.

Some people achieve control over these muscles and can consciously choose to change the focus of their eyes at any time, regardless of what they watch.

How to gain control of vision

Like any muscle, your ciliary muscles can weaken. How do muscles become weaker? The answer is obvious – the lack of use.

If you want strong legs, you have to walk and run from time to time, right?

Also, if you want a strong and functional set of ciliary muscles, you need to change your visual focus between close and distant objects so that these muscles are exercised in order to stay strong.

This increases the flexibility of your eye lens - something like yoga for your eyes.

And here's the truth: most people in modern society never look at something far away!

Most of people do not live in the countryside and so they do not have to look at anything that is kilometers away. In the cities, there are no mountains, and our vision is constantly focused on things that are close.

Thus, their ciliary muscles "lock" in a constant state of contraction.

This causes the tightening of these muscles, just as your leg muscles tighten if not to stretch from time to time.

The television makes all this worse, a computer monitor even more.

Today's population spends so much time looking at cell phones, iPads and computer monitors that it is amazing that their ciliary muscles even function at all.

Sooner or later, due to lack of exercise - lack of focus on the things that are at different distances relaxes your ciliary muscles and they lose their flexibility.

Therefore, the eye lens can not achieve needed focus.

Consequently, instead of a beam of light falling on the retina where they should, they fall on the point inside your eye, half an inch in front of or behind the retina.

The real problem is not that your eyes do not have proper dimensions, but in the fact that your ciliary muscles are too weak to change the curvature of your lens.

This problem can in most cases be, fortunately, solved with simple exercises.

It is obvious that the use of contact lenses or glasses can cause further deterioration of vision, because it allows your ciliary muscles to atrophy even more, relying on artificial lenses inside glasses to do their job.

How to train your eyes and restore vision

What if there is an easy way to exercise your eyes and restore health of ciliary muscle? Will that bring your normal vision back?

For many of us, the answer is yes! Not for everyone, of course.

There are other causes of impaired vision, such as cataracts, neurological diseases, the rigidity of the lens (often due to poor diet) and more.

However, in a surprisingly large number of cases, healthy vision can be restored with simple exercises that you can perform at home, just a few minutes a day, using only your eyes and a simple tool.

Simple tools are pinhole glasses. They operate like a machine that exercises your eyes.

Simply wear them a couple of minutes a day, and then walk around and look at different objects at different distances from you.

How pinhole glasses help restore vision

Regular use of pinhole glasses, no matter how simple it may sound, exercises your ciliary body, which increases the range of motion of ciliary muscles that control your eyes.

This happens because pinhole glasses have hundreds of small holes in the lenses.

These holes are changing the way the light falls on your eyes and create an organized pattern in which the eyes must focus.

People who suffer from vision problems (nearsightedness, farsightedness, nursing farsightedness, astigmatism, computer vision syndrome, etc.) often notice that their vision improves immediately after using pinhole glasses.

Effect of pinhole glasses on our vision is not magic, just physics. If you regularly train the muscles of the lens, they will eventually become stronger.

Just as your legs will become stronger if you regularly run or walk.

Vision improvement is evident after removing pinhole glasses. After several weeks of looking through the pinhole glasses, your eye muscles will gain strength and regain the ability to focus correctly even without the help of pinhole glasses.

That means no more vague and hazy vision, your eye lens are controlled by muscles.

Like any muscle in your body, these muscles have to strain to stay strong and to keep their full, healthy range of motion.

However, it is interesting that some people would rather wear glasses than have normal vision. Classic glasses are really becoming modern addiction.

Once you start using classic glasses, ciliary muscles atrophy so that you need glasses if you ever want to see anything.

Vision industry, unfortunately, earns on our ignorance. It is like the pharmaceutical industry, which does not want you to get well, because it earns on your disease.

Natural and cost effective way to improve vision

Pinhole glasses are safe and cheap way of taking the responsibility for the health of the eyes and potentially avoiding costly and uncomfortable contact lenses or glasses.

These glasses cost about as much as a pair of sunglasses in the store and you do not need a prescription for them.

Pinhole glasses, of course, do not help in all cases of blurred vision, since there are multiple causes of vision problems.

However, they work surprisingly well for most people who try them.

Many people are absolutely delighted with the immediate difference in vision that they notice after putting these glasses.

I literally saw people screaming with joy, "I see! My vision came back to me!„ The effect is almost magical.

Pinhole glasses are now available in our online store

We have heard many success stories from many people who use this simple device for vision correction.

Try them and see whether they will work for you!

Free options for vision correction

Another way natural way of correcting vision is to exercise your ciliary muscles to change the focus between objects that are near you and far away from you. This can easily be achieved from home, by looking trough the window.

Simply look at an object on your desk and then look at something out there that is very, very far away - in the ideal case, the horizon.

Repeat this technique several times, then rest your eyes again and repeat. Do this several times a day.

With the added nutritional support for eye health (lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, etc.), these exercises can, over time, improve your eyesight.

With these exercises, you can reduce your dioptre one step at the time, until the moment when you will not even need glasses.

Pinhole glasses can help in speeding up this process, in a rather similar way to which exercising with weights helps build muscle faster.

The most important thing is to understand that blurred vision is not permanent eye damage, but is in most cases only functional problems that can be solved by exercise.

In the same way that physical therapy helps people in rebuilding the muscle mass of the body, eye exercises can help build functional strength of the eye muscles.

The biggest secret that you opticians will never discover is that many people do not even need glasses or contact lenses! What they really need is to exercise their eyes.
