I was just wondering what causes Eyesight deficiency problems. I mean what is psychologically wrong about a person whose eyesight keeps getting abnormal ( the power keeps increasing)?

Cataract to protect the eye from bright light

The body having not enough resources to repair the cells

(seems a bit unfair to me, though, certainly some of the above applies to people with an excellent eyesight!)

I'm sure Louse L. Hay has something to say on the subject too...

Louse L.Hay says:
"Eye problems: not liking what you see in your own life.
-Astigmatism: 'I' trouble. Fear of really seeing the self.
-Cataracts: Inability to see ahead with joy. Dark future.
-Children: Not wanting to see what's going on in the family.
-Crossed: Not wanting to know what's out there. Crossed purposes.
-Farsighted: fear of the present.
-Glaucoma: Stony unforgiveness. Pressure from longstanding hurts. Overwhelmed by it all.
-Shortsighted: Fear of the future.
-Wall eyed: Fear of looking at the present, right here.

(Slight tendency to pink eyes here = anger?)

I have to wear glasses ever since my eyesight deteriorated from my perfect 20/20 vision about 5 yrs ago. I put it down to the fact that I started a job in which I had to look at a computer screen most of the day. I definitely noticed a difference and even now, I get tired and sore eyes if I look at the screen too long... I am due for an upgrade in prescription, as I cannot see small print without glasses now, unless I hold the page at about arms length

Paul says I have to either get better specs, or longer arms! I am intrigued, as I don't think I am the sort of person who is not willing to 'look' and 'see' anything. Not when it comes to the nitty gritty... I've looked at Louise L Hey's books, and sometimes I agree and sometimes I don't...

I guess good ol' age does come into it somewhere... if we have dense, material bodies on a dense, material planet, I guess there is a chance they can start to deteriorate, unless we become Light Beings really rapidly...

I wish I knew, although I don't look too bad in my specs and only have to wear them for reading, sewing and writing!

I am SOOOO glad I don't look like Nana Mouskouri... she was my dad's favourite singer, in the 70s, but I HATED THOSE BLOODY GLASSES!!!

Also, chinese children rarely have eyesight problems; every day at school, they do massages around the eye (Hard to describe) that loosens the muscles and relaxes the area.

I've also heard that children who have nightlights in their room end up needing glasses more often than children who don't.

I know I chose to come into this life with 2 serious eye problems, and to overcome them being a visual artist and writer.

I have very bad vision, I'm near-sighted pretty badly (let's put it this way...if I didn't know the top letter was an "E" on an eye chart, I'd be in serious trouble ) I wear contact lenses to correct my vision, but it can't correct my other eye problem.

I was born with a condition called Duane's Syndrome, a condition where my right eye can't look (turn) very far right or left. In fact, I can't look to the right with my right eye at all. If I were to try to look to the right, my eyes would look crossed. So, I've always turned my head in that direction when I have to see something. I'm so good at hiding my condition, even friends who have known me for years didn't know anything was wrong. If anyone knows of anyone with Duane's Syndrome I have some links available for information.

Personally, I think *waning* vision is a symptom of overall poor nutrition and health, like wrinkles and grey hair, or anything attributed to *old age*.

my eyesight went bad around 3rd grade, which i read happens to a lot of kids - something about the initial excitement of learnign ending and they start to see the pattern forming for all the years ahead.

i had pretty much given up on it and accepted that i'd never be able to see well.

but after reading star signs i changed my mind and now i'm GOING to fix my eyes. I WILL do it and I dont care what anyone says. I bought a video called "yoga for your eyes" which seemes really really good but the thing is that you have to do a lot of the exercizes outdoors like in nature with hills and stuff- living in the bronx, this is kind of a problem for me.

i tracked down a used copy of "do you really need eyeglasses?" by marilyn b. rosanes that was listed in the book section in the back of star signs, and flipping through it it seems pretty good. after i'm done with the book i'm reading now i'm going to dive into this and see how it goes.

Might have to pretend that some of those buildings are really mountains

The subconscious might choose to 'create' a disease, in order to escape some trauma, such as going to the school, or going to work, or to punish ones-elf either because of karmic memory or present Life guilt. It might choose the eye for that, that's what I have been thinking all along. According to this theory, the eyesight deficiency need not reflect the psychological imbalance.

Yet, if we assume for some people, the eyesight deficiency does reflect a specific psychological imbalance, the question arises what specific 'area' of the psyche, does the eye cover?

Here is my theory on Short and Long sights. People with Long sight, are those who refuse to look at the plain, obvious truths in their life - one that is 'near enough'. Inspite of everybody around them advising them to see it. People with Short sight, have the opposite problem. They are unwilling to accept new ideas, philosphies and doctrines. They stay 'stuck' in their reality (to the one which is 'near').

This does mean that the Long sighted person, is afraid of the Present, because he is unable to accept what he has got today. He may also be afraid of the future, if he is unable to accept what the future has in store for him (or more correctly, what he thinks the future has in store for him).

Eyeglasses help you a lot - to worsen the problem. After wearing them, your eyes won't even try to see. No wonder, after wearing glasses, eyesight deterioates rapidly. You keep changing glasses - higher and higher power.

Deficiencies formed at childhood, could be a soul memory. Physical measures (like Yoga) can help, but there also has to be inner healing. I have read of a person who got a wound in his shoulder that wouldn't heal. Later under regression, he recalled he was a soldier in a previous Life, unable to help his mates, and died with guilt. Under regression, he wept, and later the wound healed like magic (A Common Sense Guide to the Sixth Sense). Makes me wonder whether regression can cure chronic health problems such as these.

Avalon, why don't you try Oriental medicine (Siddha, Ayurveda) for your eyes? I hope they will be available in your country. Some of our Siddha specialists claim you will never need to wear eyeglasses at all.
