This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.

Download or read book Restoring Your Eyesight written by Doug Marsh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-12-08 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A holistic guide to improving one’s vision both physically and spiritually • Explains how blurred vision is a reflection of other imbalances in the body, mind, and spirit • Offers natural methods for improvement of poor eyesight and stress-related difficulties, including dyslexia and ADHD • Combines the core values of the Bates method of natural vision improvement and Taoism Fewer than three percent of children in North America are born with visual defects, yet as they become adults nearly two thirds will become reliant on prescription lenses to see clearly. Virtually nonexistent in pre-industrialized cultures, this epidemic of blurred vision can be traced to mental, physical, and spiritual imbalances in modern society. The traditional “quick fixes” of eyeglasses and contact lenses only serve to cover the true cause of blurred vision while increasing eye-strain, and often progressively worsen eyesight as the eyes become trained to work within the confines of the corrective lenses. The advent of refractive surgery carries even more serious risks. In Restoring Your Eyesight, Doug Marsh offers a natural alternative that shows readers how to improve their eyesight by taking conscious control of their vision health. He combines proven methods pioneered a century ago by eye doctor William Bates with the ancient Chinese wisdom of Taoism. Marsh describes how vision goes deeper than the eyes and optic nerves, extending well into the layers of the mind, emotions, and spirit. Eyesight difficulties are often connected to behavioral and stress-related syndromes, such as dyslexia, ADHD, stuttering, TMJ, and anxiety disorders. He draws upon the core values of the Bates method and Taoism--rhythm, softness, return, balance, and wholeness--to provide guidelines for a holistic healing of outer and inner vision.

Book excerpt: In the digital age, with our ever-present smartphones, tablets, game consoles, laptops, desktop computers, and even smart television sets, eye strain - or "computer vision syndrome" - is more common than ever. Experts tell us that it only takes 2 hours looking at a screen of any kind to put ourselves at risk for eye strain, yet that minimal amount of time is just a drop in a veritable bucket of every day, 21st century screen time. Thankfully, eye strain is not a serious condition, nor is it unavoidable. By taking the time to learn more about the anatomy of the eye, how the structure processes light, and what happens to create eye strain, we can easily manage and overcome its negative effects. With simple, actionable advice to control work space lighting, maintain screens for optimal viewing, and even simply blinking more times an hour, this guide to coping with eye strain can help you work more efficiently while protecting the health of your eyes. Don't fall prey to the myths that abound about what and what does not wear out your eyes. If your mother told you that sitting too close to the screen was bad for you, she was actually wrong. What can be bad for you, however, is failing to realize when your eyes need a break or actual correction to function at their optimal level. The first step toward managing eye strain is to seek a comprehensive eye exam from a qualified physician who can determine if there are any underlying conditions affecting your vision. Once you have a clean bill of health, and potentially a new prescription for eyeglasses, the rest is in your hands! Written in clear, easy-to-understand language and considering all the many factors that can impact our vision on a day-to-day basis, Eye Strain is a handy guide to managing how you use your eyes - just be sure to read it in good light at the right distance from your face! Eye strain and associated problems, working with eye care professionals, dealing with eye strain, technology and your eyes, and much more all covered!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having good eyesight is essential for almost every activity we do, but an estimated 93 million adults in the United States are at high risk for serious vision loss. Mayo Clinic Guide to Better Vision is a comprehensive guide to understanding common vision problems, preventing age-related eye disorders, and keeping your eyes healthy at every stage of life. As we age, our eyes become more susceptible to common conditions like age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and cataracts. Even younger adults can suffer from painful eye conditions like dry eyes, infected tear ducts, styes, floaters, pink eye, and eye strain. More than 170 million Americans wear eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct vision problems, and those number is likely to increase. Fortunately, many of these conditions are preventable, treatable, and even reversible. In Mayo Clinic Guide to Better Vision, Dr. Sophie Bakri, M.D. walks readers through the diagnoses and treatment options associated with these common eye issues, as well as preventive measures for protecting your eyes from eye diseases, retinal disorders, and permanent vision loss. She also shares the best techniques for correcting common vision problems, and provides tools for those currently living with low vision. Presented through clear, conversational explanations paired with detailed illustrations, photographs, and tables, this book is a practical resource for making the most of your vision by keeping your eyes healthy and your eyesight sharp at any age.

Download or read book The Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses written by William H. Bates and published by Holt Paperbacks. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Better Eyesight Without Glasses is not only the definitive source for the classic Bates Method, it is in itself a remarkable phenomenon. Dr. William H. Bates’s revolutionary and entirely commonsensical theory of self-taught improved eyesight has helped hundreds of thousands of people to triumph over normal defects of vision without the mechanical aid of eyeglasses. If you think that your eyesight could be made better by natural methods, you are right. After years of experimentation, Dr. Bates came to the conclusion that many people who wore glasses did not need them. He gradually and carefully developed a simple group of exercises for improving the ability of the eyes themselves to see, eliminating the tension caused by poor visual habits that are the major cause of bad eyesight. These exercises are based on the firm belief that it is the natural function of the eyes to see clearly and that anyone, child or adult, can learn to see better without glasses.

Download or read book The Conservation of Vision written by Douglas McMurtrie and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the introductory. Do you realize that good eye sight is practically as important as physical health? Certainly both the power to learn and the power to earn depend almost entirely upon the possession of good eyes. But do you know how to safeguard and preserve your eyesight? If you are like most people, you have probably absorbed considerable knowledge of the general laws of health, while remaining practically ignorant of the simplest rules for conserving your own eyesight, as well as that of individuals placed in your care. Without doubt the most widely spread of all disorders of the eye is eye-strain. It is likely that the effects of this form of eye trouble are greater and more disastrous than all other forms put together. There may be some who are not clear as to what eye-strain is. For our present purposes it is sufficient to say that eye-strain is simply strain of the eye muscles, either those that are upon the outside of the eyeball and that move it around in its socket, or those inside the eyeball that help the eye to focus clearly. The strain of these two sets of muscles is called either external or internal eye-strain, as the case may be. Internal eye-strain is caused by the eyeball being the wrong shape, which may be a misfortune of birth, a result of abuse of the eyes, or due to natural changes in later life. For instance, the eyeball may be too short, causing far-sight, or it may be too long, in which case there is near-sight. Or, again, it may be more curved in one direction than it is in the opposite direction, when the vision is called "astigmatic." Near-sight, far-sight, and astigmatic sight, if uncorrected, are bound to cause eye-strain. The effects of eye-strain upon the general health is a matter of the greatest importance, and yet is very little understood by the general public. For eye-strain can do much more than cause injury and pain in the eyes themselves. Indeed, in most cases of eye-strain the eyes go on doing their work without apparent protest. They are willing servants. But in order to do this they make heavy draughts upon the nervous system, and in so doing naturally interfere with the proper functioning of other organs of the body.
