Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Anyone have any experience or tips on improving night vision? I refuse to go gently into that dark night! I have keratoconus - a steepening of the corneas - which contributes to it being worse, but that issue has been very stable for a lot of years so I'm not sure that's even relevant. I also figure there is some normal decline as I age. But, darn it, I'm not *that* old, and, anyhow, I think believing in what we're told we have to accept focuses our attention in the wrong direction. So I'm looking for things like a supplement for vision or maybe some sort of eye exercises or whatever ... natural, of course.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I don't know if I should recommend this or not. My dad and I have always been night owls(going to bed around 3 a.m.), and he has " natural " night vision. To help improve mine, I just walk around without lights on, and sort of sense my way thru the house(I guess this could be dangerous for some). Now, I dont even turn a main light on in my room.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 I can only relate my experience. I had dry eyes, redness, puffiness and at night I saw many colored rings arounds lights. I believe I had night blindness. I started taking 25,000 units of Vitamin A from a fish liver source, these tabs are relatively cheap and small sized. I also think quality is an issue so I recommend buying from a good source. It will take about 2 weeks to get relief. I took 2 pills per day for a week and then cut back to one per day. My problem is gone, and has been for several years. Regards: David Be a better sports nut! Let your teams follow you with Mobile. Try it now.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 This is interesting. I do the same thing. I think it helps... but it was nice to find out that I am not the only person who does that. Ingrid --- Colby <cbhardison wrote: > I don't know if I should recommend this or not.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Interesting thought! I'm a night owl also so I'd get plenty of time to practice. It worries me most, though, when I'm driving at night. Think the other drivers mind if I practice? :-) Just kidding! It could be that we simply get so used to having all this artificial light that our eyes don't work their night vision muscles, so to speak, and they gradually don't work as well.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Nutritional supplementation can be of help. Visutein by Unicity is excellent, anything with Lutein will nourish the eyes. Detoxing of heavy metals is also beneficial as all organs of the body are affected by heavy metals. Glasses with a different prescription for night driving also help.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Thanks, David. That's one of the things I was wondering about - if I was needing some vitamin or mineral. My eyes are similar to what you describe so I will try the vitamin A.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 In addition to lutein and beta-carotene, take a look at Bilberry. It is anatural source of anthycyanidin, a polyphenol with significant antioxidant potential. It also supplies bioflavinoids which support normal vision. Bilberry is good for eyes, and it supports healthy night vision. It helps eyes stay strong against stressors. Be aware that taking Bilberry will affect iron absorption (your body will absorb less). You also might want to look at: Zinc methionine - an enzyme important to eyes and capillaries Eyebright - supports the health of the eye Shana -- Shana Clagg Hormone Health...
