by Diana Crumpler – Nystagmus is a condition of involuntary eye movements that prevent focus. It may be either congenital or acquired in adulthood. The condition is further subdivided according to whether the eye movements are horizontal, vertical or rotary. It is not primarily an eye problem but rather one of the central nervous system.
By Erik Peper – By changing the breathing-blink pattern and peacefully looking at the world with a smile, one would decrease sympathetic arousal and increase parasympathetic activity. This approach should be taught as the first self-care intervention to reduce eye irritation.
By Michael Edson, MS, LAc – Dry eyes, screen fatigue, and blue light exposure can all cloud your mental clarity, and growing evidence is showing that eye conditions like glaucoma may also play a role in cognition and brain fog.
Review by Rudy Shur – Eyestrain may be a normal symptom of the times we live in, but it has consequences – headaches, blurred vision, eye pain, dry eye, excessive tearing, excessive blinking, double vision, eye fatigue, heavy eyes, burning sensation, difficulty focusing, poor night vision, neck and shoulder pain, poor visual acuity, or bloodshot eyes, this book explains how to take the necessary steps to resolve it.

We now check our phones an average of 96 times a day, approximately once every 10 minutes, an increase of 20% as compared to two years ago. Those who do media multitasking such as texting while doing a task perform significantly worse on memory tasks than those who are not multitasking, and multitasking is negatively correlated with school performance.
Even with the best dietary intentions, modern food may no longer provide the full spectrum of essential nutrients, especially for older adults. When combined with age-related changes in absorption and metabolism, this reality supports the judicious use of daily multivitamins as part of a broader preventive care strategy.
What makes this book helpful is the type of information it provides, including self-help tests to quickly evaluate eye health and function, first aid advice for eye emergencies, and a useful chart to understand what may be causing symptoms. It recommends conventional and alternative remedies based on the latest research, offers practical tips for preventing eye disorders, and helps guide the reader in choosing the right eyeglasses and contact lenses.
It has proven to be difficult, if not impossible, to proceed to full-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for most of the natural methods that cannot be patented or otherwise monopolized.Â
By addressing food sensitivities through targeted testing and personalized dietary interventions, individuals can take a significant step toward reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and enhancing overall well-being.
