hey guys dr. Berg here in this video I want to show you how to fix your eyes

okay especially if you want to read close up without glasses and it’s so funny

because people were what’s called corrective glasses but they don’t really

correct anything they basically make your eyes dependent on the glasses and

you need a stronger prescription so here’s here’s some a little anatomy you

have the eye structure right here you have the the clear part which is the

cornea right here the light comes in here and then iris that’s the colored

part like either you have blue eyes you have green eyes you have brown eyes and

what happens it hits this lens right here and it’s really the combination of

the cornea but mostly the lens the shape of the lens which which allows you to

see focus in on something either far or near and what controls the lens is a

little muscle called a ciliary muscle ok the ciliary muscle so really the shape

of the lens is controlled by this one muscle right here when that muscle

contracts you’re able to see very close up alright so if you can’t see close up

we have a problem with that contraction it’s maybe too contracted but when your

muscle when that muscle relaxes you’re able to see very very far away so we

have this alternating contraction relaxation all the time when you’re

seeing very far and very very near so I have a question for you what do you

spend most the time doing looking close up or very far away I mean when’s the

last time you looked at a cloud or a tree or a bird or in the distance

probably a long time right so what happens if you contract that muscle 24/7

or you’re behind a computer or a cell phone or the internet I mean constantly

Ipad this lens is going to become atrophied

to the point where it’s not going to work anymore so you need glasses

especially watch these kids coming up they don’t go outside anymore they don’t

play so here’s a real simple thing to do get outside go for a walk but don’t read

your cell phone when you’re walking go just look at stuff in the distance spend

about 40 minutes or even an hour just looking far away and focusing in on a

cloud a tree in the distance things distant object

what that will do that will give your eyes such a sense of relief it’s going

to take the stress out of the eye and actually reverse this atrophy of the

muscle because it’s an inactive muscle it’s not focusing anymore correctly it’s

not relaxed see what happens the way you get a good muscle is you have a

combination of recovery contraction recovery on/off what’s happening in our

eyes is where it’s always on all the time constantly contraction so we have

to relax it and reverse the flow so just spend a lot more time looking far away

than you do behind the computer if you work all day and then you don’t go

outside and look at different things or even when you’re driving maybe you could

look at things in the far distance but you’re going to have to reverse that

flow if you want to prevent wearing glasses all right so that’s just a

little tip on how you can really get this muscle very very tone and avoid the

whole cycle of getting stronger and stronger prescriptions with your glasses

alright hope this helped I will see you in the next video
