Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)
Topical: Dilute with a carrier oilunscented lotion or unscented cream and apply on the area of concern or as desired. Consider using a roll-on applicator for ease of application of prediluted oil.

Vision Issues: Dilute 1-3% with a carrier and apply sparingly on the bony part encircling each eye. Keep your eyes closed and rest for a few minutes. NEVER PUT DIRECTLY INTO THE EYE. If irritation results, dilute with more carrier oil. This works well with a roll-on applicator.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler

Internal: Vision blend is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. We feel that internal use is rarely *needed* and should only be used with respect for how concentrated the oils are. HEO does not advocate the internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer them, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective used topically with proper dilution or inhaled. Kurt Schnaubelt Ph.D. notes that "French aromatherapy literature contains many references to using oils orally." He goes on to note that "generally 1 drop is always enough when ingesting essential oils." A potential toxicity hazard could occur when untrained people use essential oils orally and ingest too much. Keep in mind that while medical doctors or health care practitioners may prescribe essential oils for internal use, they are trained and experienced in the safe application of essential oils. It is not a matter of using "French aromatherapy" or "British" methods; it's a matter of experience and appropriate application.

1. I disliked wearing reading glasses, and after using the Vision Blend consistently for about a month, I noticed that I didn't need them like I used to!

2. I am nearsighted, and after 13 days of daily use of your Vision blend 2 or 3 times daily (applying as directed on your site), there was a very slight improvement in my vision in both eyes. Imperceptible to me, but measurable by my eye specialist, who checked me before and after. I had used the blend more over one eye than the other, and the greatest improvement was shown in the eye around which I had applied it the most. (On some days, I also took the Helichrysum Blend internally.) I can't wait to see what happens as I continue to use this!! - E.D.

3. I'm including the following testimony, which is not about using essential oils, but felt it might be helpful. I've been taking Lutein (a dietary supplement) for just a few weeks, and already my eyes are clearer and the floaters are gone. I'm definitely noticing the difference. - S.S.

4. Vision is awesome. My husband has been using it, and his vision is improving, specifically with reading texts on his cell phone without his glasses. What a blessing. - Christa W.

5. A neighbor lost his sight to macular degeneration and only could discern a little light from one eye. He learned Braille and used a cane as he took walks. I wanted to see if the oils might help, so I gave him a very diluted bottle with 3 drops of Frankincense 5ml fractionated coconut oil, and I encouraged him to apply it several times daily around the bony part of the eye like mentioned above, and also at the base of his skull and behind his ears. His vision gradually improved so that 6 months later, he feels his sight is restored and he no longer walks with a cane and is contemplating getting a daytime driver's license.

6. Admittedly, I'm older, but I had enjoyed fairly good vision until I got a virus that blew my vision in my left eye. My MD wanted to treat me with steroids, but that really didn't settle good with me - he really tried to scare me into the treatment saying, I might be totally blind if I didn't. I read the testimonies about how people were using essential oils and had some Frankincense on hand, so I faithfully applied it diluted (about 3 drops in a 5ml bottle) on the bony part of my eye, on my toes and neck at least 3 times daily. My vision improved, but it still seemed like I was looking through gray saran wrap. I decided to add 2 drops of Helichrysum to my formula (1 drop less Frankincense), and my eyesight took another move forward to the point where now I can drive.

7. My grandmother has, in the last few years, been diagnosed with macular degeneration. By last Christmas, her eyesight was bad enough that she was told not to drive at night, and she was having trouble reading the newspaper and e-mails. So we ordered some Vision Blend for her. After less than 3 months of use, we received the following e-mail from her. "I've been using the Vision drops. I had an eye exam yesterday, and my macular is holding steady, and in the bad eye, I could see another line. I know that I can see more on TV with that eye." Less than 2 more months later, we received another e-mail saying her vision continues to improve and she will order some for her friend! I can't tell you how much joy the news brings us and how grateful I am for your oil ministry! God is totally blessing your faithfulness, and we are so fortunate to be a receiver of it. Thank you so much!! - Megan

8. In October, I purchased the Vision blend for my grandmother, who was diagnosed with macular degeneration. She has been receiving shots directly into her eye and was scheduled for another shot in February. When she went in for the shot, the Dr. said: “I don’t know what you are doing, but you don’t need your shot this time!” She continued to use Vision, and when she returned in May, she received the same good report! - Kerri (see next testimony from Kerri's grandmother)

9. I’ve been using the Vision blend for a year in October with very good results. I have macular degeneration. I’d been getting shots in my eye for four years. My granddaughter purchased Vision for me in October and told me it would help my eye heal. I got the shot in December and my next shot was scheduled for February, which would be my 4-month mark of using the Vision blend. I didn’t need the shot. The bleeding had stopped behind my eye. I had an appointment the next month and it was still doing good. I have not had to have another shot since December. This Vision oil does work. Thank you very much! - Terri

10. Thank you so much for the Vision blend!!!!! Thank God for the creation of the oils and you for the knowledge to put them together. I am a mail carrier and wear 275-strength reading glasses. I started using the Vision blend 3 weeks ago. I know you recommend using it with a carrier oil on the boney part of the eye. Here is how I use it. I happen to have carrot seed carrier oil on hand, and knowing that carrots are good for the eyes, I used it for my carrier oil. I warm my eyes with a hot washcloth or blow dryer, and then I apply the Vision blend on the boney part and the lid itself (be careful, as it will burn if it gets in the eye). I let that sit on the eye for about a minute. Then I apply the carrot seed carrier oil and let my eyes rest for 5 minutes. I do this twice a day. After about 18 days, my eyes were hurting really bad at work. I began to think it was my glasses. I happen to have an old pair in the glove box. They were only 200 strength. I put them on, and my eyes quit hurting and I could see the mail just fine!!!! Praise the Lord! In 18 days, I went from 275 to 200!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this blend. I am hoping that in another 3 weeks, I won't be wearing any readers at all. This is amazing! - Debbie, the mail lady?[HEO's Comment: We'd suggest premixing the Vision with a carrier to avoid the risk of irritating the skin or causing sensitization. Thanks for the wonderful, encouraging testimony!]

11. My mom has wet macular degeneration in her right eye. After reading the other testimonies here, I ordered the Vision blend, diluted it (about 1:5) and offered it to her. She didn’t want to use oils around her eyes, so I suggested that she apply it on the two toes next to the big toe on both feet. She began applying a tiny drop every evening and some mornings. Since the other testimonies indicated 3-4 months before noticing a difference, I was surprised when Mom called a few weeks later to report that the black shape in her vision, when she gets up in the morning, had been gone for the last 3 days. Wow! Praise the Lord! When she saw the retina specialist after about two months of use, he said the bleeding in her right eye had improved slightly but hadn’t stopped.
UPDATE on June 17 (about 4 months of use): The tech screening Mom’s vision commented, “It looks like the treatment we’re doing on your left eye is working. You read one more line on the eye chart.” (Praise the Lord!) Mom chuckled and said, “You’re not treating my left eye; you’re only treating my right eye.” Her left eye is scarred from wet macular degeneration that she delayed seeking help for. Treatment a few years ago stabilized that eye, but couldn’t correct the scarring. Her retina specialist has agreed to her use of the Vision blend (in addition to the medical treatments). After seeing the improvement in her left eye, he said that they couldn’t say that the oils helped her eyes, but they *may* have helped and certainly aren’t hurting anything! He suggested that she continue. There is still a little bleeding in the right eye, and she also continues the medical treatments. After realizing that something (i. e. Vision) has started healing and clearing the scarring, I thought, “Lavender’s the oil to repair scar tissue.” I looked at the list for Vision, and yep, Lavender’s #2. - Teresa

12. This is the most wonderful blend for healing age-related Macular Degeneration. [Moon first purchased HEO's Vision blend in Feb 2018 and wrote us this testimony in March 2021.] I was diagnosed that my AMD had been successfully cured, now with no signs of AMD in my retina. The eye doctor said, “There are no signs of AMD at all, so enjoy the rest of your life." Thank you and your crew, especially for your beautiful creation of Vision Blend. - Moon

13. I'm 59 years old and have worn glasses since I was 14 years old. I first purchased the Vision blend 4 years ago because I was concerned about the possibility of getting cataracts. Then I broke my glasses and didn't get them replaced. I noticed that when using Vision, my eyes had improved so that I could drive and read fine print again. If I go a few days without using it, I can feel the strain. I tip the bottle, get a little on my fingertip, and apply as directed on the bony part of my eyes. I almost instantly I can feel a faint sensation and felt it was working, relieving the strain. - Hollie

14. I love your Vision blend. I use it at 3% from a roll-on applicator with fractionated Coconut oil, and after about 6 weeks, I could read without my reading glasses. I carry it with me, and if I am out and struggle to read something, I roll it on the bony part around my eyes and I can actually feel it sharpening my vision! - Linda

15. I read a testimony where someone took Clove and Lemon by capsule daily for a "macular hole." They used a total of 18 drops, but I'd use 4 drops total (2 drops each then black cumin oil in the capsule to fill it). I'm using Vision as suggested in the Application Suggestions morning and evening and also take:
60mg Astaxanthin
15,000 IU D3
3,000 Vit C
Eyebrite
The testimony said that by the 4th day, the black hole in his vision was completely gone and he could see normally again. - John

16. My ophthalmologist diagnosed me to have macular degeneration. I'd read a testimony by a Native American Indian who took 1 drop of Basil in honey twice daily to stop the progression, so I decided to give it a try. The next visit to the MD and mine has not progressed! - Clara

17. My eye pressures in September were 25/26. I got serious about my diet and greatly reduced sodium intake and cholesterol, which can affect eye pressure. I totally cut out pork and eat 3-4 ounces of beef once a week. I use olive or avocado oil instead of butter and stopped eating eggs, except for maybe twice a month. At my recent June check-up, my eye pressures were 15/16. - Kathleen

18. 3. I dilute Vision Blend with Castor oil at 2% (20 drops of Vision Blend per ounce of Castor oil.) I put this in a one-ounce bottle with a rubber bulb/glass pipette. I use this mixture for my itchy eyes when allergies are bad. I use a clean finger to rub a smidgen of this over my eyelids and hold my eyes closed. If it tingles at all, it’s just for a brief moment. This brings great relief and will take the itching away for up to 6 hours. I used to get styes frequently, especially during times of extra stress, but since doing this treatment, I've not had a single stye.

Safety
Carrot Seed Caution for Pregnancy: Tisserand, Robert; Young, Rodney, Essential Oil Safety: A Guide for Health Care Professionals, Elsevier Health Sciences UK 2nd Edition 2014, pages 233-234.

Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat—such as the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Flushing with water may send the essential oil back to the eye's membranes. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. We’ve not known this to cause permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but please call your healthcare provider if you feel concerned.
