Expert Claims Vision Can Be Improved at Any Age

Dr. Bryce Appelbaum emphasizes that vision can be improved at any age through exercises and lifestyle adjustments, challenging the notion that eyesight decline is inevitable. He advocates for practices like the 20-20-20 rule, eye push-ups, and outdoor activities to enhance eye and brain function, potentially delaying or reducing dependence on glasses, even for myopia and presbyopia. Additionally, he highlights the importance of proper screen habits, diet rich in omega-3s and antioxidants, and eye coordination exercises to maintain and improve visual health.

Revolutionary Laser Eye Surgery Promises 'Super-Vision' Beyond 20/20

A new personalized laser eye surgery, performed for the first time in the UK, uses 3D digital clones of patients' eyes to achieve 'super-vision' better than 20/20. The technology, called 'Eyevatar', allows surgeons to perfect the procedure virtually before actual surgery, resulting in improved vision outcomes. Trials show a 100% success rate for achieving 20/20 vision, with some patients reaching 20/12.5 or even 20/10 vision. This innovative approach could become the standard for corrective eye surgery, offering enhanced night vision and reducing the need for glasses.

Magic mushrooms show promise in treating color blindness.

A case report published in the journal Drug Science, Policy and Law suggests that psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, may induce lasting improvements in color-blind vision. The report highlights previous reports of improved color vision after using psychedelics and suggests a need for further research to understand how these drugs could be used in therapeutic settings. The report details a self-experiment by a subject with red-green color blindness who self-administered the Ishihara Test after using 5g of dried psilocybin mushrooms, revealing partial improvement in color vision that persisted for at least 16 days post-administration. The researchers suggest that psychedelic-induced visual phenomena result primarily from alterations in brain activity rather than their direct effects on the retina and peripheral eye.
