First, you could not bring the matter to the point when you hear from the mouth of a doctor: "You have myopia, my dear!". And what strikes me most about this situation is that some doctors themselves begin to persuade the patient to buy glasses or lenses. Although they, like no one else should know that there is no benefit in this optics. Vision from this never improve, and even vice versa. A good specialist will prescribe not only glasses and vitamins, but also recommend exercises aimed at improving vision.
Secondly, the patient himself can not be complacent. He must understand that glasses will not restore his vision, but only improve at a certain time, when this is really necessary. In my opinion, it's bad when a person buys his glasses and again forgets about his eyes. Continues to lead the old way of life. The result is a further deterioration in vision.
What is the real cause of visual impairment? In fact, there are many reasons: poor nutrition, poor ecology, long sitting in front of TV screens and computer monitors, stress. Of course, you can consider each reason separately. But then it will not be an article, but a whole book. Let's better understand how we can help our eyes.
For the prevention of eye diseases, as well as for the purpose of improving vision, it is necessary to accustom yourself to observe every day and carry out simple rules:
1. Every day do special gymnastics for the eyes. What does it include?
a) Look up at the ceiling and then down. Now - from right to left and back (10-20 times). Carry out circular motions with your eyes in one direction and in the other (5-10 times). Draw your eyes with letters, add words from them. The head remains stationary. Remember, if you feel that your eyes are tired, stop doing the exercises. Close your eyes and let them just relax. Relax.
b) Perform frequent blinking for 20 seconds.
c) Pull out your arm and lift your thumb. Look at it for 5-10 seconds and then look at the remote object located at a distance no closer than 5 m. Do the exercise for a few minutes. Do not be scared when you feel tension in your eyes - this is normal. To remove any discomfort and let your eyes rest, perform a relaxing exercise. For this, sit comfortably, place elbows on the table, fold palms with a boat and cover their eyes. Make sure that light does not penetrate your hands. Let the eyes feel real peace.
d. Pick up a pencil and begin to follow its movements. First, fully extend the arm and slowly approach the pencil to the tip of the nose. There was a double look in his eyes - stop. Now gradually remove the pencil, returning it to its original position. Repeat the exercise 10 times. And do as many as before every eye.
e) Start reading in a special way. To begin with, read the book at a convenient and familiar distance for 3 minutes. Then take the book a little further and begin to peer into the "fuzzy" letters and words. Read the book this way for 3 more minutes. Allocate each day for 15-30 minutes of time for this exercise.
Be sure to let your eyes rest after each exercise. To do this, perform a relaxing exercise with which you have already met.
2. Massage the eyes. First, rub your palms against each other until heat appears in them. Now, place your elbows on the table. Connect the little fingers and shock parts of the palms. Lower your head on the lower part of your hands, and place the upper with your fingers on your forehead. Start within 2 minutes gently massage your eyes, making pressure, stroking, rotation and vibration. If everything is done correctly, you will begin to feel the warmth in your eyes. Relax your eyes and let them rest.
Important! When performing the massage, the forehead becomes the main support point. The lower part of the palms only slightly touches the eyes.
3. Start eating correctly. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Drink natural fresh juices (do not buy those in stores). The truth is there is one "pitfall" - if the body is slagged, then the vitamins will be poorly absorbed and as a result the eyes will not get the full benefit in full. In this case, the body is cleaned, but this is a separate topic for conversation. Reduce consumption or even eliminate from your diet flour, fatty foods and sweets (replace them with honey).
4. Learn to relax. After all, the main cause of deterioration of vision is a constant mental and nervous overstrain. And in our life, stressful situations are full, and even ourselves constantly "wind" on different occasions and without reason. I assure you, as soon as you learn to relax, your eyesight naturally improves. To master the art of relaxation, engage in autogenic training. And you will not even notice how gradually inner peace will enter your life, and then the restoration of the eyes will follow.
So, you met a very small amount of recommendations for improving vision. More detailed information can be obtained from special books. I recommend that you read the book "Improving the vision without glasses by the method of Bates". I have friends who, through the recommendations in this book, have been able to achieve significant results. You can do it too! Just a key point here is the persistence in the class. After all, you wash your face every day and brush your teeth. Now add to this list and prevention of eye diseases. Let it become your new, good habit.
