Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hello all, Has anyone experienced improved vision since taking up a better diet? I have. My optometrist was amazed when, at my annual check-up last week, I was able to read the 20/25 line. Last year the smallest line I could read was 20/30. Three years ago my vision was 20/60. I'm hoping for 20/20 next year. The Dr. asked me what my secret was. I didn't know where to start but I think some of the big factors are no processed foods, sweets and I take omega-3 supplements and get enough rest.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 My vision improved slightly after I gave up sugars/whites and was taking a fish oil supplement. The optometrist said it wasn't enough to change my prescription. I haven't been so good with the sugars/whites and omega 3's lately though :-( Cheers, Tas'.

I have, although I don't know what my numbers are. I first noticed in when I caught myself running errands and realized I'd not put on my glasses before leaving the house. Asked my ND once, thought CLO had to do with it, but he said it was a combination of things I was doing/had changed. Not complaining a bit. MFJ Everything connects. The Universe is not THAT chaotic.

I tend to think that foods like dried anchovies have a ton of nutrients in them that help too, but I haven't seen any studies done on that.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I'd bet the improvement is due to the increase in Vitamin A. Once an alternative doc had me taking significant amounts of Vit A. Even though it was the synthetic form, the improvement in my visual acuity was pretty immediate and quite amazing. The improvement seems to be dose-related, but perhaps only if you start out deficient... I've recently had an improvement in mine, and this time, I think I can credit a particularly effective acupuncture session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind, I don't get high levels of vit A as my fish oil is just the oil. not the vits too. However, there have been studies that link myopia to consumption of refined carbohydrates. It was reported in New Scientist some time ago. Jo ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Messenger - all new features - even more fun! http://uk.messenger.
