Eye sight improvement

[paleogirl]

I'm on day 13 raw (day 2 at 100%, previously 90%). I had felt that in the short time since since going raw, my eye sight had improved. I wear contacts and had started to feel I was as good or even better off without them in some situations. I had also noticed my eyes looked clearer, brighter, with the whites very white (hardly any pink veins). They just looked ALIVE and healthy.

Sure enough, today I had my check up, and my eye doctor was amazed at the sudden improvement. She said that my eyes have never worked this well in my life. Woah! It's particularly shocking since I have very regular check ups (every 3 months at the moment) due to being new to contacts, so it seems like it was to do with raw rather than just a coincidence. :cool:

And this after just 12 days... I guess it proves that our bodies are SMART. My eyes have always been my problem zone, so it seems that the first chance I give my body to do some serious repair work, it went straight to the top of the list. Go body! :p

I can't wait to see what happens after months / years eating this way. Our bodies are amazing.

Wow! That's great! I am still supposed to wear glasses or contacts, but I only use them at my computer or when I'm driving (and I don't always use them then). I can function without them, but I don't think my eyesight has necessarily improved. I wish that it would!

That's AMAZING!!! Wow, I really hope my eyesight improves.

That's great news! I can't see a thing without my glasses or contacts. :(

Mine have improved too. I always had 20/20 vision when I was younger but in the past few years, I'd been needing reading glasses or to hold something further away to read it. Now, my vision is back to where it was when I was younger. Does anyone know why this happens? Does the cornea become softer?

Some Australian researchers discovered a link between eye problems and vegetable oils commonly used in cooking. There may be more other causes. I would think that general toxicity of the body would contribute.

As a Vegan (I ate a lot of rawvegetables and lightly steamed whole foods) my eye doctor noticed an improvement in my eyes. Throughout my appointment he kept commenting on how healthy my eyes were. It will be interesting to see if my eyesight will improve as a raw vegan. :D

My vision improved so much in the last year that my new doc is convinced that my old doc mis-prescribed me. Not true, since my old glasses and contacts used to be just right. Over time I started getting blurry vision with them -- because they were *too strong.* :D
