The problem is that farsightedness can never be fully cured. It can at best be reduced with surgery and eye glasses or contact lens. If you cannot prevent it you can at least prevent it from getting worse. For this you should go for regular eye checkups, take regular breaks from work that are visually demanding, and abide by the lens clearing instructions religiously.
However, there are some household elements that can help you reduce the symptoms to a large extent. You may not even need a contact lens. Let us discuss some of the home remedies for farsightedness.
It has been seen that some breathing exercises can rectify much of the problems related to your eyes. In the ancient Indian remedy of ayurveda it has been documented that combining deep breathing with some gazing 360 degrees around may help some cases of farsightedness.
However, you must know that proper rest for your eyes is a must because your eyes are tired of work requiring close observation. You should also avoid watching too much of television.
You can get some grapeseed extract from the nearby pharmacy store. It has been seen that grapeseed extract can boost the capacity of antioxidants to destroy free radicals.
It may so happen that the cornea or the muscle holding it is damaged by free radicals and that is causing the problem. You can undo it with some antioxidant and increased efficacy with grapeseed extract.
Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant and can be helpful in scavenging free radicals from the eyes. It can be helpful in opening up capillary blood vessels that may have been clogged due to build up of cholesterol.
This can increase blood supply to the cornea, and therefore treat farsightedness. You can have a paste of turmeric and honey daily. Honey will act as a natural sweetener.
Degeneration of the eye can be one of the reasons behind farsightedness. You need vitamins E & C, beta carotene and zinc for visual acuity and keep the eye in healthy condition.
Effect of all the above nutrients have been studied, and it has been seen that they have a powerful role to play in reducing degeneration of the eye. So consume enough of citrus fruits, almonds, oysters, carrot etc to alleviate the symptoms of farsightedness to some extent.
Like every other organ of your body the cornea of the eyes is also governed by some eyes. It has been seen that if you can strengthen these muscles you can gain some control over them. This will let you focus the image of near objects right on the retina. This way you can see near objects too while you are farsighted. The kinds of exercises should be learnt from ophthalmologists and practiced regularly to have the desired effect.

I had read about the turmeric is better for curing eye diseases, but I when I used for the first time, it was worse again when I had washed from the turmeric powder in a warm water. Should be very careful when you do these home remedies also. Some times it may be better to cure cuts, stomach and skin diseases but it may dangerous using for eye wash etc. Gastric is the problem, which leads to stomach ulcers, piles, vision loss, mouth ulcers, gum loss etc. majority of the cases if you have Gastric then you should treat immediately else later it leads to vision loss or vision problems. Doctors wont tell these things.
