I knew someone who lost his eyesight from staring at the sun. I know there is a yoga execrise which involves staring at the sun, but for brief periods. I've been told the retina can get burned otherwise. Sally

The effect is everything is sharper and brighter in these 40yr old eyes. My wife reports the same with her eyes as well. I lost my fear of trying this when I read some testimonies about people staring into the sun for short periods and having there vision actually improve. There is a story of a sadistic Korean doctor who forced American POWs to stare at the sun for 10 hours a day during the Korean war.. If they blinked they were threatened with death. They all had better eyesight after a year and only suffered from headaches and neck aches. Some no longer needed there glasses. I also read the Univ, of Wisconsin Med school (Dr Harry Whelan who also works for the Gov. and NASA) is using LEDs in research testing to heal the eyes of blinded mice using 670nm red LEDs. I would NOT put a red laser in my eyes as the beam is far more concentrated and supposedly you can overdose with lasers but not LEDs. After a while we may hear of some people using lasers for eyesight improvement but I am not ready to try that yet. Steve --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
