How do you improve your sight?

There aren't a lot of ways to improve eyesight - it mostly depends on your genetic make-up and how your eyes are designed. You can be sure that you eat right and get enough vitamins, because there are some vision problems caused by lack of certain vitamins. You can avoid harming your eyes by staying out of very bright lights and wearing sunglasses outside. You can avoid illegal drugs, many of which do harm your vision. Have regular physical check-ups at your doctor's, because some diseases can cause vision problems. Also, 60 to 120 mg of bilberry (also called huckleberry) daily has been shown to improve your night vision. You might also need eyeglasses, which are the best way to improve eyesight!
