Therapeutic eye exercises: how to improve vision with exercise

Special eye training, performed daily, will help avoid vision problems for a teenager and improve vision for an adult.You should exercise regularly, taking precautions.

What vision problems are there?

There are some diseases in which the vigilance of the eyes is impaired.

1. Myopia, or myopia, is the most common pathology.In this case, the image is not formed on the retina, but in front of it.The reason is the increase in the length of the head of the eye.The disease can be caused by heredity or acquired due to stress or excessive stress.According to statistics, one third of people on our planet suffer from myopia.
2. Farsightedness is a pathology in which a person sees very far, but blurred near vision.The cause of the defect is the irregular shape of the eyeball - it is compressed.The image is focused behind the retina.If the pathology is ignored, strabismus may appear.
3. Amblyopia is a disease associated with changes in the cerebral cortex.Pathology appears only in children.Children's visual system is still plastic, so trauma or experience often contribute to the appearance of this disease.
4. Age-related macular degeneration occurs due to metabolic disorders in the most sensitive cells of the eye.The term "macula" is translated from Latin as "spot".This area is only 2 square meters.mm is also called "yellow dot".Pathology can occur in wet or dry form.
5. Retinal detachment - the cells do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients.If therapy is not started immediately, the cells may die.
6. Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness.The disease appears due to damage to the optic nerve.The pathology requires the patient to strictly follow a diet, monitor blood pressure levels and take prescribed medications.
7. Cataract is the clouding of the lens.In this regard, light rays that penetrate the eye do not reach the retina, which reduces visual acuity.

Causes of problems

The causes of reduced visual acuity are divided into two groups:

• hereditary - transmitted to a person by parents, relatives;
• acquired - arise under the influence of external factors.

External factors include the following:

1. Spinal curvature and overload.It is important to monitor the posture, the position in which a person works at the computer or reads books.The blood supply to the back of the head has a direct impact on the health of the eyes.It impairs alertness and excessive mental stress.
2. Unhealthy food.Eyes are part of the body, so they are also affected by unhealthy foods.
3. Constant stress and lack of sleep.
4. Injuries.

To protect children from inherited vision problems, a pregnant woman should take proper care of herself and her unborn child before giving birth.To do this, she must eat healthy food and protect herself from stress.

Tibetan exercise therapy for the eyes involves the presence of a green object.Tibetan doctors believe that the color green is best perceived by the eyes.If you place, for example, an indoor flower near the TV or computer screen and look at it for a few minutes, your alertness will not decrease.

Massage

For myopia, you can massage the eyeball at home.This improves the condition of the eye socket and helps restore vision.However, before the manipulation you should consult an ophthalmologist.In case of retinal detachment or intraocular pressure, massage is contraindicated.

Lowered upper eyelids are smoothly rubbed in a circular motion, first moving for several minutes in one direction, then in the other.You should do a massage only with well-washed hands.

Solarization

Improving eye functionality using light is an effective technique.It is based on the therapeutic effects of rays that strengthen the retina.The exercise can be performed both in sunlight and artificial light.

It is useful to watch the sunrise and sunset.You need to close your eyelids, face the sun and turn your head in different directions.You can see the sun reflected in the pond.A low-power candle or lamp (up to 150 W) is suitable for solarization.You can light a candle in a dark room and place it at eye level, one meter away from your face.You have to look at the flame.

Gymnastics for children

Poor vision is often a reminder of hours spent poring over school books.Children need visual exercise to maintain healthy vision into adulthood.

Palming is an effective method of corrective gymnastics for the eyes.Children's eyes benefit from relaxation during school breaks or between homework.

Another exercise is drawing with the nose in the air.Eyes can be closed or left open.You should try to write imaginary letters, numbers or a picture with your nose.The adult must guess what the child wanted to portray.

Keeping your head straight, slowly look up, after reaching the maximum, you should try to move further, directing your gaze through the forehead.Look down as much as possible and try to look through the throat.When you bring the line of sight to the sides, you should try to look "through the ear".
2. Without blinking, draw large geometric shapes in the air.
3. Draw an infinity sign, the head must remain stationary.
4. Stop looking at the tip of the nose, slowly, without changing direction, raise your eyes forward and try to look at objects on the sides.Repeat with an initial stop at the bridge of the nose.

Pirate glasses

Pirate glasses are an effective exercise using the Bates method.To do this you will need monocular glasses.You can do any work on such devices, which will be a good exercise for your eyes.

This unique simulator helps improve vision.This is explained by the fact that when a person closes one eye, when he blinks, the brain is forced to focus the eye.Thus, when looking at only one eye, the extraocular muscles work continuously, and this is a good exercise.

Exercise is especially beneficial for a closed eye because it actively tries to focus and adjust to good vision by tensing and relaxing the oculomotor muscles.

It is necessary to close the second eye after 30 minutes.It is necessary to alternate, otherwise the effect will be opposite due to the fact that the eyes get tired.Before you change the bandage or rearrange the curtain, you should palm.

Central fixation

Central fixation is an effective accommodation training.The exercise is performed without glasses or lenses.You need to ignore a little and try to catch the focus, looking, for example, at the house in front of you.If the house is clearly visible, you should close your eyes and focus on the window.After that, the focus is directed, for example, to a window.

You should start with large items, gradually moving to smaller ones.It is important not to forget to close your eyes tightly.The central fixation should be directly in the center of the eyes.

You can practice eye accommodation while doing everyday things, while at a bus stop or in a queue.
