Vision problems are multiplying at epidemic proportions in our society.
Over half of the population over 75 years old has either cataracts,
glaucoma, or macular degeneration. NaturalEyeCare™'s goal is to show people how
to become active participants in their own vision care, giving back the
power and responsibility they have so trustingly handed over to their eye
doctors. We offer a practical approach to keeping your eyes healthy based on
the underlying philosophy that emphasizes prevention rather than cure, based
on the latest scientific research.
Medication and surgery may sometimes be necessary or even the
appropriate way to maintain the precious gift of sight. Our approach is
intended to be used as an adjunct to these traditional treatments of vision
problems.
NaturalEyeCare™ is dedicated to the belief that a common ground can be
created in which the strengths of modern day Western medicine can be united
with the preventative approach of other healing modalities such as
nutrition, exercise, lifestyle changes, and a positive mental approach to
life.
The following is our prevention program:
- Wear wrap-around sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection whenever outside in the sun.
- Manage stress with meditation or yoga
- Have daily regular exercise
- Maintain a healthy diet with plenty of vegetables, fruits and grains.
- Limit the amount of sugar (particularly white or refined sugar), refined carbohydrates, alcohol, coffee, soft drinks, fast foods and fried foods.
- Avoid cigarettes, hydrogenated oils or transfatty acids like those found in margerine and many fast food products, artificial sweeteners and colorings.
- Read the labels. Know what you are putting into your body.

It contains cleansing, regenerative and alkalinizing grass juices, algae, enzymes, prebiotics, and is combined with high ORAC value vegetables, fruits and berries. No fillers or bulking agents (such as whole grasses, apple fiber or pectin, rice bran, or flax), which can greatly dilute nutritional potency and are a potential source of genetically modified material.
