Vision insurance can be very important to the many of us who have vision problems. Without it we would incur mounting vision care expenses that we would never see an end to. This is why our companies, school districts, colleges, and associations offer eye insurance to offset the cost of caring for our eyes. But what would happen if you didn’t have a vision insurance plan?.

When your eyes, mind, and body are relaxed, you will naturally see better. By periodically relaxing your eyes throughout the day, you reduce the strain and stress you place on them.

One of the pioneers of natural remedy to improve vision using eye exercises is Dr. William Bates (1860 - 1931). He had attributed majority of eyesight problems to the strains placed on eyes. While his methods for improving eyesight are controversial in the scientific community, there seems to be plenty of anecdotal evidence of positive results of eyesight improvement through eye exercises.

The lens lies behind the colored iris and the pupil, the black opening you see in the eye. The lens adjusts the eye’s focus like the diaphragm adjustable metal shutters on a camera, allowing us to see things clearly both up close and far away. The lens is made of mostly water with small amounts of protein and other substances. Vitamin C and Glutathione have both been thought to delay cataract formation. Now there are questions if pigments that also keep the retina healthy may play a role in keeping the lens clear.

Smoking is the best thing you can do if you want to develop cataracts at a young age. Smoking also is associated with the other leading causes of blindness, glaucoma and central retinal degeneration. Reducing your UV sun exposure by wearing quality sun glasses that meet A.N.S.I. standards is helpful. Sun wear that wraps and blocks sun exposure from the side is even more helpful. Although research studies have given mixed results, time will probably bear out a protective effect of antioxidants on the lens tissue. Supplementation with vitamin C, vitamin E, and special plant pigments  likely will be shown to reduce cataract development. Eating foods that are complex carbohydrates such as whole grains and less refined foods with a lower tendency to cause sharp rises and falls in blood sugar are associated with a decreased risk of cataract formation. Leafy green leafy vegetables, fruit, and other foods with antioxidants are always the best source of supplements.

Annual comprehensive dilated eye health exams are vital to monitor for cataracts and allow your optometrist to check for signs of retina degeneration, glaucoma, and other eye diseases. Early treatment and detection of eye disease may save your sight and life! The most common symptoms of a cataract are cloudy or blurry vision and problems driving at night due to halos and glare. Frequently, after years of minor changes, patients developing cataracts will start to have rapid changes in their eye glass prescription as they become more nearsighted from the changes in the lens.
