About a year ago, my father told me he had been having trouble seeing at night and this was affecting his ability to drive in the evenings. As my dad has always been quite health conscious, and a strong believer in natural therapies, he began his search to find a solution for his vision problem.

After an extensive search, he discovered that Flaxseed Oil was able to help with a number of health conditions. One of the more exciting claims was that Flaxseed Oil had helped a number of people who stated that it had reversed their eye and vision problems.
Armed with this information, my father decided to purchase some pure organic flaxseed oil and he started putting one drop in each eye before going to bed each night. He noticed an improvement within a week but things really changed for him within one month. He no longer has issues driving at night and he now tells everyone he knows about this amazing oil.
As he found this solution online via a Flaxseed Oil group, my father put his experience online and then a number of people started sharing their own stories. One lady stated said that it had helped her, but it had helped her neighbor even more.
The neighbor had macular degeneration and lost her driver’s license, and after using Flaxseed Oil, she got her license back. Another lady said that she had faced cataract surgery and put a drop of oil in each eye at night and the cataracts cleared up.
There was a guy who stated that six years ago he had had a “bleeder” in the retina of his right eye. Apparently, there was very little that could be done. It did not clear up by itself after a few years and so the doctor recommended laser surgery to drain the blood and prevent blindness. By that time the “bleeder” had rerouted but the dried blood was still there. The laser surgery had caused him to be unable to see much in his right eye and he could not read with both eyes open. His sight steadily became worse and “cloudier”. He attributed this to the laser surgery.
During the examination, the doctor discovered that there was a dense cataract. He said his sight in that eye, though not perfect anyway, could perhaps be helped by cataract surgery. He then remembered the lady who had cleared cataracts with flaxseed oil so he decided to try it himself.
Within eight days of using Flaxseed Oil, the cataract seemed to be clearing. He went and had his eyes tested and his sight in that eye was 20 — 400. Twenty-one days later, he had his eye tested again and it was 20 –200. A month later, he could read the computer screen again with both eyes and with little discomfort.
He also mentioned that the Ophthalmologist has assured him that there was no danger in using Flaxseed Oil (as long as you are not allergic – more regarding this below). However, it’s important to use the golden oil from the top of a bottle before it is mixed up with Lignan Rich oil. There are many Flaxseed Oils that are mixed with Lignan so it’s important to purchase the right oil. Here is a Pure and Organic Flaxseed Oil that isn’t mixed with Lignan Rich Oil.
Allergy Test
It is important to test that you are not allergic to Flaxseed Oil before putting drops in your eye. Take a teaspoonful or so orally and be sure there is no reaction. I would take the oil for two days in a row, just to be sure. An allergic reaction will result in a red rash around the neck or chest.
How to Use
You will need:
Pour the flaxseed oil into the small eye dropper bottle and keep this in the fridge between uses. Place one drop in each eye before going to sleep as this will make your vision a bit blurry at first so its not recommended using this during the day.
* It is also important to use a clean eyedropper and bottle to avoid an infection. Sterilizing both items is highly advised. You can do this by putting both in very hot water for 10 minutes.
