Vision Improving?

Hi everyone,

I have horrible vision and was declared legally blind at a young age. If it weren't for the magic of thin-lens-creators, I would have five inch thick glasses :P

Anyway, I am near-sighted, but have trouble seeing anything past two inches from my face. About seven years ago, I all of a sudden had to read (like in bed, a novel) with my glasses on, and I was irritated... Laying on a pillow with glasses smushed in your face is relatively uncomfortable.

So the other day, I woke up and read for a little. About twenty minutes in, I realized I wasn't wearing my glasses, for the first time in... Well, I can't remember!

Has anyone's vision improved? Ironically, my other vision (optic/MS-like symptoms) are more obvious than ever, but man, this was sorta neat!

Congratulations !! :)

I've noticed that my glasses are too strong for me now. Everything is huge when I have them on. So, I am wearing them less. I haven't been tested to confirm anything yet.

It'll be interesting to see though. Pun intented. :)

My sister used to get really bad ocular migranes. She said her vision would be really fuzzy like a broken TV screen. My mom is an eye doctor and they sent my sister to tons of eye doctors and none of them could figure out what it was. But when she went gluten-free, it got better.

HAHAH!

:lol:

My eyes are the same for seeing far away (IE my glasses are fine), but my close up stuff is getting oddly better.

wozzy - that's good news! unfortunately, that wasn't my situation, otherwise i'd be more hopeful.

I have been wearing glasses since grade school (now I wear contacts) and every time I get my eyes checked my prescription is a little worse. I just recently went to get my eyes checked again (first time after going gluten free) and my prescription actually got a little less strong. I was really surprised because I thought it would get stronger. I wonder if it has anything to do with going gluten free.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
