You’re part of the global majority.  A new study out of the London School for Economics finds that 81% of people across the world who have internet access use the Web to research health information.

While this study’s researchers are glad that people are using technology to inform themselves about health issues, they do wave a flag of caution.  Study authors are concerned that only one quarter of questionnaire responders say that they check the sources of the medical facts that they find online.  Source: Medscape

Natural Eye Care

NaturalEyeCare™ started in 1999 to help the public and professionals learn about complementary care in eye disease treatment.

The information and recommendations we offer are based on over 30 years of peer review research and personal clinical experience which guides us in providing a valuable resource to our readers, customers and patients regarding maintaining healthy vision naturally.

We believe that vision health is intimately connected to overall mental, physical and spiritual health. Therefore we encourage people to look at their overall lifestyle and diet as part of keeping healthy vision and reducing the risk of eye disease onset. This includes diet, regular exercise, and management of daily stress. If one has health issues such as high blood pressure, a thyroid imbalance, any autoimmune disease and/or are on medication(s), these possible contributions to eye disease should considered when working with your health care professional.

Please do not hesitate to call us at 845.475.4158 with any questions and concerns.
