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

Special eye training, carried out daily, will help prevent vision problems in a teenager and improve vision in an adult.You need to exercise regularly and take precautions.

What vision problems are there?

There are several diseases in which eye alertness is impaired.

  1. Myopia or nearsightedness is the most common pathology.In this case, the image is not created on the retina, but in front of it.The reason is the increased length of the eyeball.The disease can be hereditary or acquired through 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 in the distance, but has blurry 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.Pathology occurs only in children.The visual system of children is still plastic, so trauma or experiences often contribute to the occurrence 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 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 most common cause of blindness.The disease occurs due to damage to the optic nerve.The pathology requires the patient to follow a strict diet, monitor blood pressure and take prescribed medications.
  7. Cataract is a clouding of the lens.The light rays that penetrate the eye do not reach the retina, which reduces visual acuity.
With cataracts, exercises to improve vision are indicated.

Causes of problems

The causes of reduced 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:

  1. Curvature of the spine and overexertion.It is important to monitor posture, that is, the position in which a person works at a computer or reads books.The blood supply to the back of the head has a direct impact on eye health.Impairs alertness and excessive psychological stress.
  2. Unhealthy diet.The eyes are part of the body and are therefore also affected by unhealthy foods.
  3. Constant stress and lack of sleep.
  4. Injuries.

In order 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 must eat healthily and protect herself from stress.

Technology:

  1. Get into a comfortable position on a chair or armchair and relax as much as possible.

Tibetan gymnastics

Tibetan movement therapy for the eyes requires a green object.Tibetan doctors believe that the green color is best perceived with the eyes.For example, if you place an indoor flower next to the TV or computer screen and look at it for several minutes, your alertness will not weaken.

massage

If you have nearsightedness, you can massage the eyeball at home.This improves the condition of the eye socket and restores vision.However, before manipulation, you must consult an ophthalmologist.Massage is contraindicated if there is retinal detachment or intraocular pressure.

The lowered upper eyelids are rubbed gently in a circular motion, moving first in one direction and then in the other for a few minutes.You need to perform a massage only with well-washed hands.

Solarization

Improving eye function using light is an effective technique.It is based on the therapeutic effect of radiation that strengthens the retina.The exercise can be performed in both sunlight and 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 reflecting in the pond.A candle or a lamp with low power (up to 150 W) is suitable for solarization.You can light a candle in a dark room and place it at eye level, three feet from your face.You have to look at the flame.

Children's gymnastics

Poor eyesight is often a reminder of hours of studying in textbooks.Children need vision exercises to maintain healthy vision into adulthood.

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

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

It is useful to focus on distant and near objects.

Drawing with your nose in the air helps children improve their vision.

Gymnastics #1

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

  1. Keep your head straight and slowly look up.Once you have reached the maximum, you should try to move further and direct your gaze through your forehead.Look down as far as possible and try to look through the neck.If you shift the visual limit to the side, you have 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. Slowly, without changing direction, stop your gaze at the tip of your nose, raise your gaze forward and try to look at objects on the sides.Repeat with a first stop on the bridge of your nose.
  5. Look at the tips of your index fingers near your nose.Then spread your fingers and try to follow the corresponding hand with each eye.
  6. Imagine a large clock face, slide your eyes over it, make spiral movements, thereby increasing the circumference.

After each exercise, blink to relax the eye muscles.

Gymnastics No. 2

A therapeutic exercise set for overloading the eye muscles

Pirate glasses

Pirate glasses are an effective exercise using the Bates method.For this you need single-eye glasses.With such devices you can do any work that provides 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 while blinking, the brain is forced to focus the eye.So when only one eye is looking, the eye muscles are constantly working, and that's a good workout.

The exercise is particularly suitable for closed eyes, as the tension and relaxation of the eye muscles actively attempts to focus and adjust to good vision.

The second eye must be closed after 30 minutes.It is necessary to alternate, otherwise the effect will be the opposite, as the eyes will get tired.Before changing the bandage or rearranging the curtain, you need to process it with your palm.

Central fixation

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

You need to start with large items and gradually move on to smaller ones.It is important not to forget to blink vigorously.Central fixation should occur directly in the center of the eye.

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

An excellent training for eye accommodation is central fixation.

Fastening

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

  1. Eat only natural products.
  2. Eat more vegetables and fruits.
  3. Subject food to minimal heat treatment.
  4. Avoid artificial nutrition, semi-finished products and canned foods.
  5. Avoid alcoholic and carbonated drinks.
  6. Reduce consumption of tea and coffee.
  7. Eat foods of animal origin in moderation.
  8. Start your morning with a light breakfast.
