Symptoms and cures of Defective Vision

Defective vision or eye defects results from the functional derangement, which can be rectified by natural simple methods. Excessive reading in dull light; reading in moving buses and cars, watching T.V. and eating artificial food are factors responsible for this.

Causes of Defective Vision

• Improper blood and nerve supply.
• Mental strain (anxiety, fear and overwork).
• Wrong diet (excessive protein, starch and sugar ingestion) are the chief causes.

• Index finger of your right hand should be held 8 inches away in front of the eyes, then look from the finger to any large object about 10 feet away, and look from one to the other ten times.
