Blurry Vision Remedies

Blurry eyes can have causes that aren't necessarily from an underlying disease like cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, or diabetes. For example, dry eyes, rubbing the eyes, crying for more than 2 minutes, or bad eyeglasses can also cause blurry vision.

Natural remedies can often improve blurry vision, depending on the cause of the blurriness. Remedies include supplements like vinpocetine and blueberry extract. External treatments, like eyebright herbal washesl are also often used, according to Earth Clinic readers.

Carrots

I get tired of carrots, but they work!

My mother (late 80's with near perfect far vision and only using reading glasses), upon hearing that my vision was off said that the 'old folks' she grew up with recommended eating a carrot every day and your vision would improve. Well, every day for the past 2 weeks, I've grated just 1/4 of a carrot into my smoothie mixture.

End result: my vision has definitely improved to such an extent that I'm reading 1 size smaller letters than before and this, without my reading glasses. And, my vision is not so blurry.

Natural remedies such as eye exercises and carrots may take time, but they CAN, over time, work to fix what ails us! Astounding advice from my mother! Thanks MoM, CAT
