Almost Out Of Sight?!!!

Simple solutions to see beyond the blur
Almost Out Of Sight?!!!

Diwali is a constant reminder of how grateful I am to my eyesight. There is really no other way to truly experience the beauty of light and fireworks.

Nothing scares the strongest of men as much as the thought of going blind.

As we cross over to our 40s, most of us will begin to experience marginal deterioration of vision...the blurriness, the inability to see from the corner of our eye (like we used to)- sometimes even impacting our driving reflexes, we even require brighter light and bigger font to read. My wakeup call came when I began noticing black spots or cobweb-like strings in my vision. All these are initial signs of a gradual loss of vision classified under 'Age Related Degeneration'. It could lead to almost 70% of loss of vision and the most terrifying part...it happens so gradually that you almost don't see it coming!

We don't know what causes it. Lenses cannot fix it. When you consult an ophthalmologist, the only solace you get is that you are not alone...its normal... it is just an age-related degeneration. While there are more invasive surgical options, most ophthalmologists do not recommend it, due to other complications involved in the procedure.

I wanted to do everything in my ability and power, that even gives me a remote chance of reversing or at the very least stopping further deterioration. All I did was to change a few eating habits, dug deep into the wonders of vitamins and minerals and cleared my body off some toxins. I did see marginal improvement within 3 months and some miraculous improvement within 6 months. If you are like me and want to do something, instead of just sitting around waiting for gradual blindness and helplessness to seep in, read on.

Can you tell if you have this problem?

Stare at the center of the image below. Do you see the lines wavering or the black spot blurring out or absolutely vanishing?
