 Pinhole Glasses.
Many people find they see with amazing clarity through these pinhole
'glasses', regardless of their actual prescription.
This makes these glasses a useful transition tool on your path to
natural clear vision. There is no glass in these frames, just
black plastic with small holes in them. They can not be used for
driving, but can be useful in many daytime activities, including reading
and computer use.

 Mindfold®. An easy way to give your eyes
some extra rest!
The Mindfold provides complete darkness, even with your eyes open.
They have an adjustable velcro strap and are very comfortable due to the
foam padding that, unlike other eye covers, does not put any pressure on
your eyelids. I personally love using the mindfold and I highly
recommend them for anyone who likes some help in getting the eyes to
relax more.
(p.s. These Mindfolds, as any other eye cover, can cause an increase in
light sensitivity if used for sleeping with at night, so please avoid
that. Our eyes prefer the gradual increase of sunlight to wake
with in the morning!)
Only US$ 19.00. Add $3.00 for shipping.

EYE-Port.
The EYE-port is designed to help improve
vision in an effortless way. It uses a variety of programs of flashing blue and
red lights which stimulate
one eye at a time when viewed through the red and blue colored lenses.
It was developed by Jacob Liberman O.D. (author of Take
Off Your Glasses and See).
Use of the EYE-port for a total
of 3 hours over a 3 week period increases visual attention span,
eye teaming, reading ability, overall visual performance, and improves dynamic depth
perception and marksmanship. This is an
evidence-based vision training product that is FDA approved.
Responses from students have been excellent. It can be used by
itself and is even better when used alongside Bates lessons.
A
series of skill-building programs are followed for 10 minutes per day, 6
days per week, for 3 to 6 weeks. Includes multiple speed settings;
special glasses to train each eye individually; guidebook, carrying
case.
US$ 239.00. Free shipping
within the USA. 30-day warranty.

Full
Spectrum and Sun Lamps
|
I am often asked what type of
lights are best for the eyes, so here is a section that will give you an
idea of what types of lamp to look for in your local store, or, if you are
unable to find it locally, you can click on the title of the item you are
interested in and buy it online.
Note: When buying full-spectrum lamps, be
sure that they do state to be Full Spectrum! If it says the lamp is
a natural daylight lamp it is not necessarily a full spectrum
lamp...

 Ott
Full Spectrum desk lamp
This desk lamp is one of various model Ott full spectrum lamps. I personally use this
desk lamp in my office and I have one as a reading lamp beside my
bed.
In my living room I use this
floor lamp.
In the USA, I have bought full spectrum Ott lamps at office supply
stores and have also seen them in craft stores and places like Big Lots,
where they are often somewhat cheaper.
|
Full
Specturm Lights.
Instead of buying a completely new lamp, you can simply replace some of
your regular light bulbs with full spectrum lights like these.
|
Full
Spectrum Fluorescent tubes.
Next time your fluorescents need to be replaced, consider getting full
spectrum tubes! You'll both see and feel a huge difference.

 BioBrite
Sunrise
Alarm Clock
Waking up to gradually increasing light rather than a sudden loud sound
is a much nicer way to start your day! It is also much more in
tune with nature's
way. I am fortunate that I do not need an alarm clock and am able
to wake naturally with the sun, but for many people this is not an
option. For them, this sunrise simulating alarm clock was
invented. There are various models available - here
is one that you can connect to your existing bedside lamp!
|
 Sunning
Lamp.
As strong lightbulbs of 250 Watt or more are slowly being phased out, it
may be easiest to simply buy a work-lamp like this one shown on the
left. This is useful for indoor sunning of your eyes on days that
the real sun stays hidden behind clouds.
You may also find one of these work-lamps in your local DIY store.
|
 A
fancier model sunning lamp is this Nature
Bright Sun Lamp
These types of lamp are often
used to reduce the effects of seasonal affective disorder, and they
happen to also be good lamps for
sunning 'Bates-style'.

The
Visions of Joy Eye-Chart to
hang up in your home, office or classroom. Eye-charts tend to mainly
be associated with vision acuity tests, yet they are even more useful as a
tool to improve vision.
Having an eye-chart on a wall in a well lit location will allow you to monitor your
own eyesight improvement. Regular eye-chart use can aid in learning to relax your eyes as it gives instant feedback
while you practice natural vision habits. Instructions in relaxed
use of eye-charts will be sent in return for a donation
of $5 or more.
You can also print
your own eyechart.
