How I Improved my Eyesight by Changing My Diet

At 56 years old I can see much better than I did when I was 32 years old! It may be the most unusual thing to happen but then everything about my health is better now than it was in my thirties!

As a child I could sit at the back of the classroom and see very well what my teachers wrote on the board. Even as a young adult in college I could see very well both far and near. In my thirties my eyesight started to dim. Gradually I could not read the subtitles on television. Then I could not read the road signs properly when driving. Thankfully my short sight remained excellent. In mid-1998, when I was 32 years old, the eye doctor gave me spectacles to “correct” my vision. When I put on the glasses I could see clearly very far but when I took them off my eyesight appeared to be worse.

I learned that “correcting does not mean improvement of my eyes. It simply means improvement on contact. I wore my glasses for driving only and kept them away the rest of the time. I did not like the glasses but they were a necessary evil. I vowed that one day I would find out how to improve my eyesight.

In 2008 (at the age of 46) I changed my diet experimentally from meat-based to plant-based. I also eliminated wheat products because I had learned that gluten is harmful to health. As a result of the change, within a few months the frequent urinary tract infections ceased, the frequent vaginitis stopped, my feet stopped getting swollen and I had to move down one shoe size. The indigestion, bloating and the constipation also disappeared. I even lost weight even though that was not intended. But that was not all!

There is one thing that I have always forgotten to mention, and that is the fact that my eye sight improved. The improvement in my eyesight was not as dramatic as the disappearance of the other symptoms. It was a slow improvement and I hardly ever noticed it. One day, around 2012, after four years of being vegan, I noticed that I could read well the subtitles on television. The sub-titles were so clear there was no mistaking that my eye sight had improved a lot! I also noticed that actually I needed my glasses less and less for driving and most of the time I forgot about the glasses. The last time I renewed the glasses was in 2007! I still have the 2007 pair which I do not use any more.

Now I am 56 years old and my eye sight is much better than it was when I was 32! It took me a long time to mention this huge improvement because it was gradual and therefore for a long time I could not link it to the change in diet. There is no other explanation because the only thing I ever changed was my diet.
