RE: Genetics of Anti-Aging

in #science7 years ago

Indeed, I'm waiting for gene therapy for my eyes...I use to have 20/20 vision. I think most of us constantly in front of screens is messing up our eyesight...I was looking into getting an e ink android reader for a display instead of using my phone. I started using blue light filter on my phone but still not good enough

Sort:  

Myopia or short sightedness, has become a growing problem over the past few decades. The cause is, spending too much time at a close focal length. It causes stress on the focusing muscles. The muscles eventually go into a spasm. When you then try focus far out, the muscles temporarily cannot re-focus.

This ‘blurred vision’ compels us to go to the optometrist. Instead of the good doc telling us to rest the eyes and spend some time focusing at lengthier focus lengths, they slap you with a 3oo dollar pair of spectacles.

The eye never recovers, but actually has to change its shape to accommodate the lense. A year later, your eyes have deteriorated and you repeat the process.

Here is a video of an eye specialist who exposes the truth behind short sightedness.

Thanks so much for sharing this video. I watched the whole thing and I will be trying his methods. I think this is going to work out for me. I Always thought that if you read far trying to force your eyes to do it that would be bad for your eyesight. Actually forcing your eyes to read from far away will improve my sight. This is great to know.

It is a pleasure. Be patient with the process. It can take years to fully reverse myopia, if you have been wearing prescription eyewear for a long time.

Keep in touch with how things go.... I would love to hear how you progress .

i sure will, thanks again for the info.
