Home Remedies to Say Goodbye to Glasses and Improve Your Eyesight

Are you one of the 75% of adults who use glasses or contact lenses because of imperfect eyesight? According to the Vision Council of America, the answer is likely yes. But don't worry, there are natural remedies to improve your vision. Here are five home remedies to help you say goodbye to glasses and improve your eyesight.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a miracle plant that has been used as a natural medicine and beauty product for centuries. It is also a quick and effective tool for improving eyesight. Aloe vera is a great source of important vitamins and antioxidants that help with white blood cell production and tissue recovery. It also protects the delicate membranes covering your eyes. Aloe vera gel is the main ingredient in remedies to treat cataracts and strengthen the eye's cornea.

To get fresh high-quality aloe vera gel, you can keep an aloe vera plant as a potted plant. Cut and wash the leaves 10 days before you want to cook up some remedies using them. Cut off the pointy tip of the leaf and remove the jagged spines along the edges with your knife. Then, cut the leaf into two or three-inch-long segments and turn the blade on its side to slowly slice the skin away from the fleshy aloe inside. Use a blender to make a smooth mix and take one spoon of this magical concoction three times a day, 30 minutes before each meal.

Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba can help relieve anxiety and boost your memory and thinking process. It is especially good for people with dementia and Alzheimer's. As for our vision, it is great at increasing blood flow to the eyes. By doing this, it improves our eyesight and prevents us from developing glaucoma and macular degeneration, which are both very widespread diseases of the eye.

Ginkgo biloba comes in 120 milligram capsules at your local drugstore. Divide one capsule into two or three portions and take one dose every day to see with clear vision.

Green Tea

Green tea is rich in antioxidants called flavonoids, which fight off free radicals that can cause a number of eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts. More than that, green tea is a kind of natural sunscreen for your eyes. Its polyphenols protect your eyes from UV rays, which can cause cataracts and other eye diseases.

To make green tea, get some dried green tea leaves or green tea pearls, and boil water to make green tea. Once the water has reached the perfect temperature of 185 degrees Fahrenheit, pour it into a cup with green tea leaves on the bottom and let it sit for three minutes. Drink it warm or keep it cold in the fridge.

Bilberry

Bilberries are known as great natural eyesight boosters. They improve nighttime vision and help regenerate important parts of the retina, which can be damaged because of high blood pressure and diabetes. Bilberries are also great when it comes to preventing common eye diseases like glaucoma and cataracts.

You can eat bilberries straight up as part of your daily fruit serving or choose to take them in supplement form. The recommended amount is 80 milligrams twice a day a few times a week.

Almonds

Raw almonds are a natural source of omega-3 fatty acid, vitamin E, and antioxidants, all of which are great at improving vision. If you use almonds to benefit your eyesight, your memory and concentration will also reap the rewards.

Soak 5 to 10 nuts overnight, peel and grind them when you wake up in the morning and enjoy them with a cup of warm milk for the good of your eyes.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, these home remedies are a natural way to improve your eyesight without the need for glasses or contact lenses. While some of these remedies may take a bit of effort, the results are indisputable. Within the first month, you'll feel the rejuvenating effect they have on your eyes. Stay healthy and take care of your peepers.
