Quick Rundown:
Stretch your eyes. Open your eyes wide. Close your eyes tight and exercise them without squinting. Roll your eyes. U have to get back into a hunter’s mode of vision.
Maneku Honey eye drops help. Buy Glasses a few diopeters smaller and work your way to 20/20. Eat foods that help vision like Purple Cabbage, carrots and greens.
drink this rocco…also cucumber and lemon are good…stay away from tap water, only spring
Yes, my vision is clearer in the morning
But the blue computer screen makes them blurry again. I have to minimize white screen time.

How to Make Manuka Honey Eye Drops
Manuka honey is a potent natural ingredient known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a great choice for homemade eye drops. Here is a simple guide on how to prepare manuka honey eye drops at home:
Ingredients:
Manuka Honey: 1 tablespoon
Sterile Water: 1 cup
Instructions:
Mix the Ingredients: In a clean container, combine 1 tablespoon of manuka honey with 1 cup of sterile water. Stir well until the honey is completely dissolved.
Filter the Solution: Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to filter out any impurities or particles from the mixture.
Transfer to a Dropper Bottle: Carefully pour the filtered solution into a sterilized dropper bottle for easy application.
Store Properly: Keep the manuka honey eye drops in a cool, dark place to maintain their efficacy. Avoid exposure to sunlight or heat.
Benefits of Manuka Honey Eye Drops:
Manuka honey contains natural enzymes and compounds that can help soothe and protect the eyes. It can also aid in reducing inflammation and promoting healing in case of eye irritation or infections.
Additional Tips:
Make sure to use high-quality manuka honey with a high UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) rating for the best results. Always consult with an eye care professional before using homemade eye drops, especially if you have existing eye conditions or allergies.
1. Carrots and Purple Cabbage: Nutrition for Eye Health
Carrots: Rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor), supports retinal health and prevents night blindness.
Purple Cabbage: Packed with anthocyanins and antioxidants, it reduces oxidative stress and promotes blood vessel health in the eyes.
Other Eye-Friendly Nutrients:
Lutein and Zeaxanthin (found in spinach, kale, and egg yolks): Protect against harmful blue light.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from fish or flaxseed): Reduce dry eye and inflammation.
Zinc (from pumpkin seeds or nuts): Supports retina function and enhances
vitamin A absorption.
2. Red Light Therapy
Benefits: Helps improve mitochondrial function, reduce inflammation, and may slow the elongation of the eyeball, which causes myopia.
Usage:
Expose eyes to low-intensity red light (650–700 nm) for 2–3 minutes daily under professional guidance.
Avoid overexposure to prevent damage.
3. Sound and Frequency Therapy
Frequency Ranges:
285 Hz: Cellular repair.
528 Hz: DNA repair and overall healing.
Application: Listen to soundtracks or use frequency-emitting devices to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and support healing.
Benefits: Reduces stress, which can alleviate tension in the eye muscles and improve focus.
4. Eye Stretching and Exercises
Regularly exercising and stretching the eyes can improve flexibility, reduce strain, and potentially slow myopia progression. Here are some effective techniques:
A. Palming (Relaxation Exercise)
Rub your palms together to generate warmth.
Close your eyes and gently place your palms over them without applying pressure.
Relax and breathe deeply for 2–3 minutes.
Repeat 2–3 times a day to relax eye muscles.
B. Focus Shifting
Hold your thumb about 10 inches from your face.
Alternate focus between your thumb and a distant object (at least 20 feet away).
Repeat 10 times to improve focusing ability.
C. Eye Rolling
Close your eyes and roll them in a circular motion.
First clockwise, then counterclockwise, 5 times each.
This stretches the eye muscles and improves flexibility.
D. Pencil Push-Ups (Convergence Exercise)
Hold a pencil at arm’s length and focus on its tip.
Slowly bring it closer to your nose while keeping it in focus.
Stop when it becomes blurry, then move it back.
Repeat 10 times to strengthen focusing muscles.
E. 20-20-20 Rule
Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
This reduces strain from prolonged screen use.
F. Figure Eight Exercise
Imagine a large figure eight about 10 feet in front of you.
Trace the shape with your eyes, moving slowly and smoothly.
Switch directions after a minute. This enhances eye coordination.
5. Lifestyle and Complementary Practices
Outdoor Time: Spend 1–2 hours daily in natural light to slow myopia progression, especially in children.
Posture and Screen Use:
Maintain a proper distance from screens (at least 18–24 inches).
Use blue light filters to reduce strain.
Stress Reduction: Practice yoga, meditation, or breathing exercises to relax both body and eyes.
A Holistic Routine
Start your day with eye exercises (palming, focus shifting).
Incorporate a nutrient-rich diet with carrots, purple cabbage, and other eye-friendly foods.
Use red light therapy for a few minutes as part of your routine.
Listen to frequency therapy tracks during relaxation or meditation.
Take breaks using the 20-20-20 rule during screen time.
🩺 Dr. Luka Kovač’s Evidence-Based Guide for Supporting Macular Health
“I won’t promise miracles,” Luka says. “But the retina is living tissue. What you feed the body, the body feeds the eyes.”

🧴 5. Honey Eye Drops — Luka’s Caution
Dr. Kovač’s medical warning:
“Raw honey is antibacterial, but placing homemade honey drops directly into the eye is dangerous.
Contamination can lead to corneal infection or scarring.”
Safe version:
Only sterile, medical-grade Manuka honey eye drops (used in some countries for dry eye and mild infections)
Must be pharmacy-made, not homemade
Not a cure for macular degeneration
Used only under ophthalmologist supervision
He would never endorse DIY honey eye drops.
