Myopia, or nearsightedness, is an international epidemic. Spending time indoors and doing close-up work is a major contributor. Research has shown that going outside in green spaces helps reduce the incidence of myopia. People with myopia often need glasses to see distances. They are also more prone to a host of eye disease as they age.
Dr. Grossman discusses daily habits and exercises to reduce your chances of developing myopia. He also covers "Yoga for the Eye" classes and other ways to stretch and strengthen your eyes. And, he recommends some supplements and nutritional supports for healthier eyes.
