So How Do We Lose Our Eyesight?

OK, here’s the simple version...

The muscles of your eyes change the shape of your eye, and the shape of your eye lens, so that whatever you are looking at, gets focused in the right place on the retina. If the muscles are not working properly, the image is focused in the wrong place and appears fuzzy!

Yes, that lacks a little finesse, as far as explanations go, but it gives you the basic idea! Now, if it is your eye muscles that allow you to see clearly, then it follows that ‘out of shape’ eye muscles are going to cause poor vision. Eye muscles need exercise just as much as the other muscles in
your body.



If you put your arm in a brace for a few weeks, the muscles will get weaker and smaller (‘atrophy’). Because of the lack of movement and usage, the blood doesn’t circulate as it needs to, and the muscles are deprived of nutrition. Basically, nothing in the living world remains the same, it is either growing or it is dying. This is where we get the expression – ‘use it or lose it’!!
