			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Late night television offers a plethora of pills, gadgets, gizmos and items designed to do one thing: take your money. Each and every night vendor try to hawk their wares in the hope that someone out in television viewing land is watching and wants to take a chance on his or her product. It is not that these things might not help slice, dice, repair or make the eyes see better, it is the fact that items such as herbal supplements and devices are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and the makers can offer no guarantee as to safety, reliability or end result. For many people the hope of perfect vision is a dream. To not rely on corrective lenses or surgery is a dream come true. They want to believe that by simply doing a set of eye exercises or popping a pill, seeing clearly is right around the corner. Do these things work? Or is it merely another attempt in marketing to sway consumers into buying bogus products?</p>
<p>Additionally so many <a target="_blank" title="scammy blogs" href="http://www.scam.com/blog.php?b=7687">scammy blogs</a> are infesting the internet these days.</p>
<p>Ophthalmologist might not agree with the late night herbal supplements and exercises touted on television and books. The FDA does not recommend it nor do they regulate it. It is left up to the consumer to decide what works for them and what does not. Not every eye is the same nor will all treatments work on everyone. The companies do not take into consideration family history, medical history or current condition of the eye. Each company even differs on what ingredients go into making that &#8220;cure all vision supplements&#8221; because there is not a proven vitamin or mineral that gives twenty/twenty vision. Carrots are not the miracle worker once thought to be. Bilberry has not been proven without doubt in any laboratory studies. Even the eye exercises sold are not guaranteed in any way. </p>
<p>The most important thing to keep in mind when viewing ads targeting perfect vision is that results may and will vary according to each individual person&#8217;s current vision needs. There are advances in medicine occurring each day and perhaps someday in the future there will actually be a shot or a pill given that will cure any vision abnormalities. Until that day happens, trust your eye doctor. He or she can tell you what solutions best work for each particular case.</p>
