How to Get Rid of Spectacles

Not everyone is blessed with perfect eyesight. The majority of people have to resort to wearing eyeglasses or spectacles to achieve the 6/6 vision. And wearing spectacles is a nuisance for most people. 

There are several proven and unproven ways to restore vision, such as eating certain types of food, eye exercises, eye drops, and of course, the most popular method- LASIK eye surgery. 

As there are multiple things that can be tried to restore perfect vision, let’s ponder the question- “How to get rid of spectacles?

How to get rid of spectacles naturally? 

Natural remedies or home remedies don’t affect the vision directly but improve the overall eye health. However, it won’t eliminate the dependability on spectacles to see clearly. 

Things that may be helpful to some extent are explained below- 

1: Eye Exercises 

Eye Exercises

Prolonged exposure to digital screens can harm the eyes and further degrade vision. Thus, several exercises are recommended to prevent the vision from getting weaker. 

  • Take a break from looking at the screen and blink your eyes multiple times to relax them. 
  • Eye rolling is another exercise that can improve eye health and strengthen eye muscles. Look up and roll the eyes for 10 minutes in the clockwise direction and then in the anti-clockwise direction. 
  • Place the palm on the eyes, fingers on the forehead, and blink repeatedly. Make sure that the eyes are relaxed, not stressed. 
  • After working on a computer screen, try warming the palm and placing it on the eyelids. This will provide relief from eye strain. 

2: Healthy & Balanced Diet

Poor diet is a major contributor to degraded eye health. Not eating healthy foods means the body is not getting ample nutrition to function optimally. As a result, the vision also deteriorates. 

To get rid of spectacles naturally, try eating a healthy diet and incorporate foods that are good for eye health, such as- 

  • Green leafy vegetables 
  • Fish, salmon, tuna, etc. 
  • Vitamin C, orange, lemon, etc. 
  • Nuts
  • Foods with high levels of vitamin E, C, and A, such as milk, cheese, spinach, cranberries, papaya, olives, carrots, etc. 
  • Stop or avoid smoking completely, even passive smoking. 
  • Drink plenty of water 
  • Include fruits like grapes, blueberries, and goji berries. 

These are two methods that are most likely to work to get rid of spectacles gradually. However, there is no guarantee that these methods will work 100%. Only a few people really feel improvement in eyesight after trying these methods. Others have to rely on spectacles or contact lenses to see clearly even after trying these methods for months. 

Home Remedies to Get Rid of Spectacles

Try the following home remedies to see if they are helpful in improving eyesight- 

  • Walk barefoot on green grass during the morning time.
  • Wash the eyes with Amla water or pour rose water drops in the eyes regularly twice a day.
  • Put water in a copper jug, let it rest overnight, and drink it in the morning. Copper is believed to be beneficial for the body, specifically for the eyes.
  • Avoid applying hair color, hair dye, or shampoo with strong chemicals as they are harmful to the eyes.
  • Add onion and garlic to the diet as they contain sulfur and promote the production of antioxidant- glutathione, for the eyes.
  • Eat almonds to get ample amounts of Vitamin E that is good for the eyes.
  • Eat soya and its products as they are rich in protein which is essential for optimal eye health.
  • Mix almonds, fennel, and sugar to create a herbal power and take it before sleeping every day.
