I improved my eyesight naturally

September 02, 2025

Here’s Exactly How I Did It 👁️✨

For years, I thought the only way to “fix” my eyesight was to rely on stronger glasses or eventually consider surgery. But instead of going down that road, I started experimenting with natural, daily habits that support the eyes and circadian rhythm.

The result? Clearer vision, less strain, and healthier eyes — without surgery or new prescriptions-- actually my prescription is now weaker than it was at my previous optometrist appointment last year. Here’s exactly what I did:

Step 1: Sun Gazing at the Right Time 🌅

I spend a few minutes outside looking toward the rising or setting sun.

Why it works:

Helps regulate circadian rhythm
Stimulates dopamine (the “feel good” neurotransmitter)
Nourishes the photoreceptors in your eyes

This practice not only helped my eyesight but also improved my sleep and energy.

Step 2: Daily Eye Exercises 👀

Just like the rest of your body, your eyes have muscles that need movement. I committed to just a few minutes a day of exercises to strengthen the eye muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce strain after long hours of reading or screens.

Step 3: Red + Near Infrared Light 🔴

I use a red/near-infrared light panel near my eyes (not directly in them) 3–5x per week.

Benefits include:

Boosting mitochondrial energy
Reducing inflammation
Supporting night + low-light vision

Red and near infrared light is one of my favorite “biohacks” because the effects go beyond the eyes — it supports whole-body health.

Step 4: Limiting Screens After Sunset 🌓

One of the hardest habits, but also one of the most effective. Blue light from phones, TVs, and tablets tricks your brain into thinking it’s daytime.

That means:

Melatonin gets suppressed
Circadian rhythm is disrupted
Eyes stay overstimulated when they should be resting

Now, I either stop screens after the sun sets or switch my iPhone screen to red light if I need to be on a device (this also makes it harder to scroll social media, which is GREAT!) The result? Better sleep, less eye strain, and healthier eyes in the morning.

Here's how to use the side button on your iPhone to easily make the screen red:

Go to settings and select Accessibility
Tap Display and Text Size
Tap Color Filters and toggle on
Select Color Tint and slide Intensity and Huge all the way to the right.

To easily switch the screen back and forth with the side button:

Go to settings and select Accessibility
Select Color Filters and now you can use the side button (quickly press 3 times) to turn the filter on and off.

Step 5: The Right Supplement 💊

Use a supplement that supports the retina, reduces strain, and protect against oxidative stress. Link for the one I use:

Contains 750 mcg (2,500 IU) of vitamin A per serving to support night vision and healthy tear production.
Provides the naturally occurring, universally metabolized form of folate.
Helps maintain macular and retinal health with lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene per serving.
Supports visual function and healthy photoreceptor activity with taurine, alpha lipoic acid and resveratrol
