Therapeutic eye exercises: how to improve vision with exercises

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

What vision problems exist?

There are several diseases in which ocular vigilance is impaired.

1. Myopia, or nearsightedness, 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 longer 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. Hyperopia is a condition in which a person sees well from a distance, but has blurred vision up close.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.The pathology appears only in children.The visual system of children is still plastic, so trauma or experiences often contribute 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.mm is also called “yellow spot”.The pathology can manifest itself 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 the clouding of the lens.In this regard, light rays penetrating 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 excessive strain.It is important to monitor posture, the position in which a person works at the computer or reads books.Blood supply to the back of the head has a direct impact on eye health.It impairs alertness and excessive mental stress.
2. Unhealthy diet.The 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 hereditary vision problems, a pregnant woman must properly care for herself and her unborn child before giving birth.To do this, he needs to eat healthy food and protect himself from stress.

Technique:

1. Take a comfortable position in a chair or armchair and relax as much as possible.
2. Close your eyes.Cover them with your hands so that the middle part of the right and left palms are opposite the right and left eyes, and the fingers are crossed on the forehead.
3. Place your elbows on your knees or on the table, your eyes should remain closed and hidden behind your palms.

You need to relax as much as possible, try to see the color as black as possible.The more black there is before the eyes, the more they rest.

Tibetan gymnastics

Tibetan physical 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, a flower in the house next to the TV or computer screen and look at it for several 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 manipulation it is necessary to consult an ophthalmologist.In case of retinal detachment or intraocular pressure, massage is contraindicated.

The lowered upper eyelids are gently rubbed in a circular motion, moving first for a couple of minutes in one direction, then in the other.It is necessary to perform the massage only with well-washed hands.

Solarization

Improving the functionality of the eye 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 observe the sunrise and sunset.You need to close your eyelids, face the sun and turn your head in different directions.You can watch the sun reflected in the pond.For solarization, a candle or low-power lamp (up to 150 W) is suitable.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 in adulthood.

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

Another exercise is to draw with your nose in the air.The eyes can be closed or left open.You should try writing letters, numbers or imaginary pictures 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 lessons 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 across your forehead.Look down as far as you can and try to look through your throat.When you bring the limit of vision to the sides, you should 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 on the tip of your nose, slowly, without changing direction, raise your eyes forward and try to look at the 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 gaze over it, making spiral movements, increasing the circumference.

After each exercise, blink while relaxing your eye muscles.

Gymnastics no.2

Ocular gymnastics aims to naturally restore vision in cases of mild astigmatism, hyperopia and myopia.In addition, the exercises help to relax when the eye muscles are overloaded.

The technique is as follows:

1. Warm your palms, cover your eyes 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.

You have to blink a little between exercises.

Pirate glasses

Pirate glasses are an effective exercise using the Bates method.To do this you will need one-eyed glasses.You can do any work with such devices, which will be a good training 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 on the eye.Therefore, when looking at only one eye, the extraocular muscles are constantly working and this is a good workout.

The exercise is especially useful for closed eyes, 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 tent, you need to do palming.

Central fixation

Central fixation is effective accommodation training.The exercise is performed without glasses or lenses.You have to blink a little and try to focus, for example, scanning the house in front of you.If the house is clearly visible, you need to blink and focus on the window.Subsequently the attention is focused, for example, on a window.

It is necessary to start with large objects, gradually moving to smaller ones.It is important not to forget to blink vigorously.Central fixation should be directly at the center of the eyes.

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

Fortification

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

1. Eat only natural products.
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
