Natural Treatment for Cataract Sufferers - Pinhole Glasses

I have been going on for a bit now about pinhole glasses, and how useful they are for not only improving vision naturally, but also the huge savings realized when one does not have to rely on prescription glasses. This post will focus specifically on how pinhole glasses can help those suffering from cataract.

Definition: Cataract is really a clouding of the lens. In a previous post "Pinhole Glasses for Natural Eye Cure" and in the section "How Do They Work" I discussed the lens and the role it plays in helping us to see. Just to recap - Right now as you sit there reading this article the pupil (hole in the center of the iris) is allowing light rays from the computer/phone screen to pass through to your lens. Your lens is focusing these rays (bending them) before allowing them to fall on the retina properly. People who suffer from cataract will find they have difficulty seeing because the lens has become cloudy.

The condition is largely prevalent among the aging population as aging is a major factor, but it can also be triggered by factors such as the drinking of too much caffeinated coffee. Cataract is common among those over 80 years or members of the aging population would have had a surgery for cataract by that age. Before we look at how pinhole glasses can help the condition let us spend a little time understanding cataract a bit more.

Prescription Glasses vs Pinhole Glasses- The Toss Up

I thought I’d just make a quick post on the comparison between prescription glasses and pinhole glasses. So here goes...

People wear prescription glasses to either help them see better or as a corrective measure. Many people end up wearing these for the rest of their lives or switching to contact lens. In this post I will pay specific attention to the limitations of prescription glasses then go on to explore the possibility of using pinhole glasses and prescribed eye exercises to restore one's sight.

The Limitations of Prescription Glasses

There are certain common practices that can be observed among people who wear prescription glasses. These include the tendency to remove their glasses for a moment to widen, open and close, roll and rub at their eyes. The common cause for that is the strain and hurting sensation that comes along with the wearing of prescription glasses. This can eventually lead to deterioration in one's eyesight because what the eye really needs is some relaxation and something to help restore it to its natural health. Here are a few pointers on the limitation of prescription glasses. 

Pinhole Glasses for Natural Eye Cure

The way we approach health care for our eyes can either save us or cost us a pretty penny. I mentioned before that I am particularly interested in natural cure. This is by no means meant to totally dismiss the efforts and achievements of the medical field. I just strongly believe that there are natural ways to treat or cure some eyesight problems without having to go the traditional route which we all know can be pretty expensive. Natural remedy seems to focus more on the correcting the cause of the condition rather than treat or mask the symptoms. I recently learnt of a very inexpensive eye ware known as the pinhole glasses.  As much as I like natural remedies I am also a skeptic, but I do my best to read and learn with an open mind.

 Wearing Glasses to Improve Your Vision

If you use glasses to improve your vision, you are most likely pretty familiar with the frustration some people feel. Wearing glasses to improve our vision has become such a regular part of our lives. It is estimated that three of every four adults have a problem with their vision. That is a significant number, and that does not include the vast number of children who are already wearing glasses to help correct their sight. 

Whether we use glasses or contact lens to improve our vision there comes a time when we just wish we could go about our business without having to worry about forgetting the eye ware.  There was a time when I actually thought that wearing glasses was "kool." As far as many of us were concerned it made the wearer look intelligent. Oh... I should point out here that I am not wearing glasses yet, but I have been convinced for so long that I should be wearing one. My doctor told me years ago to have my eyes checked. After finally hearing what I thought I wanted to hear for so long I got cold feet. I found that I actually cherished the thought of having 20/20 vision more than I had realized. I had my eye tested lately and was told I had 20/20 vision. I was actually impressed with my own performance during the eye test.
