			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I find it a bit amuzing to read that scientists and doctors alike says that that lazy eye can?t be cured by no other means than Strabismus surgery. </p>
<p>It?s very strange in my opinion since we can heal the rest of our body with impressive certainty but the eyes seems to play in its league of their own. </p>
<p>We are told today that these types of conditions cannot be cured other than surgery. The nature has made a mistake and it&#8217;s the doctors job to undo that fault by surgery.</p>
<p>But you can <a href='http://ezinearticles.com/?Fix-Lazy-Eyes---How-to-Fix-a-Lazy-Eye-With-Effective-Vision-Techniques&amp;id=3409679' target='_blank'>fix lazy eye</a> without surgery. The method will be described in this article.</p>
<p>Now this article is going to show you that strabismus surgery won&#8217;t help to restore your vision. It&#8217;s only cosmetic and often times it can make your vision worse than it was before.</p>
<p>For your convenience, Strabismus is the name that describes the physical condition of a squint. Amblyopia is the name that describes the visual condition of blurry vision caused by the squint.</p>
<p>A long time ago in the beginning of the 1900s there was a theory that the cause for this squint or strabismus was due to a lack of harmony in the muscles that operated the eye movements.</p>
<p>This theory was almost automatically recognized and people with the condition strabismus were told that it could be cured by adjusting these muscles. Lots of surgeries were performed but after a while this theory was dropped and surgery was only advised as a last resort. Apparently the surgery was not very effective in curing the visual impairment amblyopia, and only approximate when it come to correcting the strabismus.</p>
<p>Shortly after there was another theory that it wasn&#8217;t the muscles that produced the strabismus but the nerves who were controlling the muscles that were unbalanced.<br />
This new theory quickly become popular and it was advised to neutralize the nerves that was causing the ailment. Surgery was advised but the outcome of this form of surgery was so unpredictable and It often made the problem worse.</p>
<p>A ophthalmologist named William Bates was researching vision problems and he had a different approach. He stated because these two theories was so unpredictable when it come to correcting them, that they weren&#8217;t targeting the real problem. His own conclusions was that the result of strabismus and amblyopia was a strain. He was laughed at because something so severe couldn&#8217;t have such a simple cause.</p>
<p>But he proved them wrong. He successfully treated a lot of patients suffering from amblyopia, and strabismus. He even cured patients with nearsightedness and farsightedness.<br />
To treat strabismus effectively he said that you should try to worsen the squint. By doing so you could get the eye to relax leading to the relief of the strain that was causing the strabismus.</p>
<p>The resistance to his ideas was fierce. Many leading ophthalmologists laughed at his ideas and called them a hoax. There was even a law that prohibited his books to be held at the libraries. Soon people forgot about the techniques that Dr. Bates was suggesting and surgery was on the table again.</p>
<p>Surgery seems to be on the table still today but new light has shined thanks to the Internet. Dr. William Bates work has become available to everyone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this article you are going to read about Amblyopia treatment and what you can do to cure this vision ailment. There are <a href='http://ezinearticles.com/?Lazy-Eye-Treatment---Effective-Holistic-Treatment-For-Lazy-Eye&amp;id=3430852' target='_blank'>lazy eye treatments</a> for adults as well as for children.</p>
<p>Traditionally Amblyopia has been treated with eye patches and eye drops. For some odd reason ophthalmologists are claiming that Amblyopia is hard to treat after the age of 9 but I find this not to be true. </p>
<p>By relieving the strain that is the cause for Amblyopia you can get cured no matter how old or young you are.</p>
<p>Most commonly used in children is the treatment with an eye patch. A patch is placed on the stronger eye so that the eye with Amblyopia needs to develop its vision. Depending on how severe the Amblyopia is, then the eye patch needs to be worn all the time or just a part of the day.</p>
<p>Another Amblyopia treatment is to use eye drops or glasses to blur the vision of the dominant eye. This has the same effect as the eye patch treatment but doesn&#8217;t need you to use a eye patch. This form of treatment is also called penalization and it works best in persons who have mild Amblyopia. This is a treatment that may suit adults better, as going around with a eye patch might trigger some pirate jokes from relatives and co-workers.</p>
<p>An interesting thing is that new research has shown that eye exercises greatly speeds up the recovery of the Amblyopic eye. There was an study done that showed: By doing 1 hour of eye exercises along with wearing an eye patch for 2 hours was equal as 6 hours of wearing an eye patch.</p>
<p>This points at the direction of the most effective cure, which is exercising your eye to relieve the strain that&#8217;s causing the Amblyopia.</p>
<p>If you are an adult or have a child that has Amblyopia, then the most effective treatment is to use special eye exercises to get the Amblyopic eye to start working properly again.<br />
These exercises are actually an old invention by an ophthalmologist named William Bates. He discovered that the cure for Amblyopia was in fact very simple. Most ophthalmologists during his time claimed that there was a malfunction of the muscles and the nerves of the eye, and the only cure was to perform surgery.</p>
<p>Bates didn&#8217;t agree and he successfully cured hundreds of patients, both children and adults who had Amblyopia. His methods was simple as he said that there was a strain that was causing the weak vision. The relief of the strain could be done by doing special eye exercises.</p>
<p>One of these exercises was to consciously make the squint worse. By learning how to do this his patients could experience clear vision. The blurry vision would return in a few seconds but he said that the permanent cure was to make this temporary state of clear vision permanent and that this was obtain by practice.</p>
