Therapeutic exercises for the eyes: how to improve vision with exercises

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

What vision problems exist?

There are several diseases in which eye vigilance is impaired.

1. Myopia, or myopia, is the most common pathology.In this case, the image is formed not on the retina, but in front of it.The reason is the increased length of the eyeball.The disease can be caused by heredity or acquired due to excessive stress or stress.According to statistics, a third of people on our planet suffer from myopia.
2. Farsightedness is a pathology in which a person sees well far away, but blurry vision near.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 occur.
3. Amblyopia is a disease associated with changes in the cerebral cortex.Pathology appears only in children.The children's visual system is still plastic, so trauma or experience often contributes to the appearance of this disease.
4. Age-related macular degeneration occurs due to metabolic disorders in the most sensitive eye cells.The term "macula" is translated from Latin as "spot".This area is only 2 square meters in size.mm is also called the “yellow spot”.Pathology can occur in wet or dry form.
5. Retinal detachment – 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 occurs 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 clouding of the lens.In this regard, the rays of light that penetrate the eye do not reach the retina, which reduces visual acuity.

Causes of problems

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

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

External factors include the following:

1. Curvature of the spine and overexertion.It is important to monitor posture, the position in which a person works on a computer or reads books.The blood supply to the back of the head has a direct impact on eye health.Impairs vigilance and excessive mental stress.
2. Unhealthy eating.The eyes are a 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 hereditary vision problems, a pregnant woman must properly care for herself and her unborn child before giving birth.To do this, she needs to eat healthy food and protect herself from stress.

Tibetan gymnastics

Tibetan exercise therapy for the eyes involves the presence of a green object.Tibetan doctors believe that green color is best perceived by the eyes.If you place, for example, an indoor flower next to the TV or computer screen and look at it for several minutes, your vigilance 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 need to consult an ophthalmologist.In case of retinal detachment or intraocular pressure, massage is contraindicated.

The lowered upper eyelids are smoothly rubbed in a circular motion, first moving for a couple of minutes in one direction, then in the other.You need to perform 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 in artificial light.

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

Children's gymnastics

Poor vision is often a memory 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 assignments.

Another exercise is drawing with your 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.

It is useful to focus your gaze on distant and near objects.

Gymnastics No. 1

The innovative technique has been used since 2001. It is important to believe that the classes will help.Basic exercises:

1. Keeping your head straight, slowly look up, having reached the maximum, you should try to move further, directing your gaze through your forehead.Look down as far as possible and try to look through the throat.When bringing the limit of vision to the sides, you need to try to look “through the ear.”
2. Without squinting, draw large geometric shapes in the air.
3. Draw an infinity sign, the head should remain motionless.
4. Stop your gaze at the tip of your nose, slowly, without changing direction, raise your eyes forward and try to look at objects on the sides.Repeat with an initial stop on the bridge of the nose.
5. Look at the tips of your index fingers near your nose.Then spread your fingers, trying to follow the corresponding hand with each eye.
6. Imagine a large dial, slide your eyes over it, making spiral movements, increasing the circumference.

After each exercise, blink, relaxing the eye muscles.

Gymnastics No. 2

Eye gymnastics is aimed at natural restoration of vision with mild astigmatism, farsightedness and myopia.In addition, exercises help to relax when the eye muscles are overloaded.

The technique is as follows:

1. Warm your palms, cover your eyes with them and relax.
2. Move your gaze in different directions along straight lines.
3. Draw a rectangle with your gaze, first in one direction, then in the other.

Pirate glasses

Pirate glasses are an effective exercise using the Bates method.To perform this you will need one-eyed glasses.You can do any work in such devices, which will be a good workout for your eyes.

This unique simulator helps improve vision.This is explained by the fact that when a person closes one eye, when blinking, the brain is forced to focus the eye.Thus, when only one eye is looking, the extraocular muscles are constantly working, and this is a good workout.

The exercise is especially useful for a closed eye, because it actively tries to focus and tune in 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 the opposite due to the fact that the eyes get tired.Before changing the bandage or rearranging the curtain, you need to palm.

Central fixation

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

You need to start with large items, gradually moving to smaller ones.It is important not to forget to blink vigorously.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.

Fortification

Not only daily eye fitness helps to avoid ophthalmological problems, but also proper nutrition and vitamin supplementation.You can create a universal diet that suits everyone by following the dietary recommendations:

1. Eat only natural products.
