- an important component sensory system organs. Every day, with their help, a person learns the world. This sense organ continuously absorbs information and is in constant voltage.

Why does vision deteriorate?

The causes of poor vision can be very different. Here are some of them:

• active use of gadgets, computer, watching TV;
• reading in dim light;
• exposed sunlight.

Causes of visual impairment in a child

vision problems in children sometimes occur from the first days of life. This happens under the influence of a number of factors:

• birth injury;
• prematurity;
• congenital malformations of the eyes;
• hereditary predisposition.

The most common vision related problem is, or myopia. It occurs in approximately 55% of children. Basically, myopia develops against the background of genetic predisposition. That is, the risk group includes children whose parents suffer from myopia.

The first signs of myopia appear after the child has gone to school. This is due to the fact that it is during this period that children are exposed to a number of factors:

• fears and stresses caused by workload at school;
• long stay in front of the screens of computers, TVs, mobile devices;
• incorrect posture;
• poor nutrition, resulting in a lack of vitamins;
• little activity.

Vision problems may indicate the following signs that you need to pay attention to:

• frequent headaches;
• fast fatiguability;
• discomfort in the eye area;
• the child starts to squint.

Causes of vision loss in adults

The fall in visual acuity in an adult mainly occurs under the influence of the following group of factors:

• constant overwork;
• decreased immune defense;
• unhealthy diet and bad habits;
• non-compliance with sleep and wakefulness;
• eye pathologies;
• diseases of the endocrine and nervous systems.

The situation can be aggravated by:

• spinal injury;
• osteochondrosis;
• stressful situations;
• hypertension.

Most people, starting at age 45, develop farsightedness, blurred near vision . The disease is characterized by a decrease in:

• tissue elasticity;
• muscle tone.

With time lens becomes dense, and due to an imbalance between the inflow and outflow of blood, it increases. The described processes, if no measures are taken, further lead to complete blindness.

Loss of vision - what to do?

You can restore vision, as well as prevent a drop in its sharpness, if you follow a few fairly simple tips:

1. Regular examination by an ophthalmologist.

This approach allows you to notice the deterioration of vision in advance and start treatment in a timely manner. eye diseases. Examination by an ophthalmologist does not take much time. Moreover, it does not cause discomfort.

You can also gently massage the eyeball. This should be done with the eyelid closed and from the outer edge, moving slowly towards the inner.

1. Proper nutrition.

To maintain vision, it is recommended to add broccoli, red fish, carrots, spinach and other foods containing vitamins C and E, selenium, and zinc to the diet.
Additionally, it is recommended to undergo a course of treatment involving admission. The latter can be replaced with specialized additives.

1. Application of moisturizers.

They are especially important for people who long time are in front of the computer. Moisturizing drops should be applied every day if redness of the eyes occurs. These drugs have a relaxing effect on muscle fibers. They will prevent possible inflammation and relieve dryness.

1. load dosage.

Eyes need rest, especially if a person long time looks at the screen. To do this, it is enough to blink every 30 minutes, look out the window, or just look away for a few seconds. If it is not possible to refuse the active use of gadgets, you can arrange a two-minute break, while closing your eyes.

When reading, it is important to monitor your posture, it will be easier for the body to absorb information in a sitting position. You also need to take care of the lighting.

Protect the retina from harmful effects ultraviolet can be using.

If it was not possible to prevent problems in the field of ophthalmology, and your thoughts are only about how to restore eyesight at home help improve health gymnastics for the eyes .

Eye exercises

Eye exercises are needed to restore vision. Regular exercise improves visual acuity, relieves stress and fatigue from the eyes. Before performing the exercise itself, it is imperative to warm up. It will help the body adapt to stress.

During prolonged eye strain, the eyebrows creep over the eyelids. Helping you relax before exercising light massage eyebrows.

Eye exercises to restore vision

Any exercises aimed at improving the quality of vision will not be effective if the eyes are very tired. After the first signs of fatigue appear, you should stop exercising and give your eyes a rest in a way frequent blinking or palming.

palming - an exercise to relax the eyes. It consists in tightly closing the eyes with palms for several minutes.

Also, to restore strength, you can close, relax your eyes and write imaginary letters with your nose. This method of stress relief is one of the most popular.

Warm-up and gymnastics should be combined with correct, even breathing.

There are four groups of exercises:

• physiotherapy;
• universal gymnastics for all;
• charging to eliminate ;
• exercises at.

Consider several types of exercises for each category.

Physiotherapy

A set of exercises aimed at restoring vision involves training eye muscles. It must be performed at least twice daily.

Before starting the exercises, it is necessary to take a relaxed position so that the head is stationary and the gaze is directed straight ahead. All the steps described below should be performed 10 times.

1. Eye movement up and down.

Those who perceive information better through video, we want to invite you to view lecture by Professor Zhdanov about the restoration of vision (the exercises themselves begin at 48:30 time):

Regular charging and hygiene procedures help keep good vision and restore normal eye function.

All the recommendations described allow you to restore vision that has decreased due to overwork or long stay in front of a computer screen. If the problem arose against the background of any pathology, then it is necessary, first of all, to diagnose and treat the cause of the loss of vision.

With age, under the influence of various negative factors, stress, visual acuity decreases.
This causes a lot of inconvenience and problems. Ophthalmologists from various clinics offer a solution similar problems by surgical intervention.

Exercise for myopia

However, it is easier, cheaper and, most importantly, safer to restore vision with the help of simple exercises to improve it. The key to success in this is the regularity and systematic training. With the help of such a simple technique, you can improve your eyesight.

Nearsightedness or myopia is one of the most common normal functioning eyes. It consists in violating the visibility of objects located at different distances.

Usually, with such a visual impairment, doctors prescribe wearing glasses, the lenses of which are concave. This helps to focus the vision and clearly see the subject.

However, such a diagnosis constant wear glasses, because they only help to see the subject clearly.

There is a gymnastics complex to improve vision with myopia, which increases its sharpness.

Exercise 1:

1. Select comfortable position.
2. Straighten your back, lower your shoulders and lift your chin up.
3. We close our eyes tightly for 5-7 seconds, then open them, relax the muscles.
4. We repeat everything after 10 seconds. The number of approaches is 6-8 times.

Exercise 2.

Starting position, as in the previous one. We start blinking fast. We blink for 2 minutes.

Exercise 3:

1. Starting position: straight back and raised chin.
2. Raise your index finger up. Focus on its tip.
3. Moving away and bringing the finger closer, we continue to focus on it.
4. We bring the finger closer to the eyes until it starts to double. We repeat 10 times.

Exercise 4:

1. Initial position. The arm is bent at the elbow, the index finger is raised up.
2. We move our hand to the right.
3. We try, without turning our heads, to see the finger with peripheral vision.
4. Then we slowly lead the hand from the side to the center, without taking our eyes off the finger.
5. We do the same with the second hand. We repeat 10-15 times.

The main thing is to do everything without unnecessary stress, not to complicate things unnecessarily.

Indeed, with myopia, the eye muscles are in constant tension, the goal of gymnastics is not only to make them work, but also to relax.

Help Tibetan exercises

In oriental medicine, there are ways to improve vision. Among them are eyelid massage, special exercises and eye baths.

In the East they think green color has a beneficial effect on vision, helps to maintain its sharpness longer. Therefore, place a green object or flower near the workplace, periodically fix your eyes on it.

Gymnastics according to Bates

IN Lately exercises by the American ophthalmologist Bates are becoming popular among those who want to restore vision without medication or surgery. The basis of the Bates method is to relieve psycho-emotional stress and relax the eye muscles.

The fact is that in order to distinguish objects normally, the eyes must be in absolute rest.

When vision deteriorates, you have to strain your muscles to distinguish one or another object. Over time, the muscles stop relaxing and are constantly in tension.

To relieve stress, several special techniques have been developed:

1. Palming. The palms are folded into a house, they cover their eyes so that the fingers converge on the forehead. At this time, a person should see a black background in front of him, mentally represent all things and objects as black.
2. Memories. Sitting or lying down comfortable position from eyes closed the person remembers the most vivid image or smell, concentrates all attention on it. This switch of attention allows you to completely relax.
3. Focusing the gaze on objects, such as letters of various sizes, on different distance Push.
4. Blinking and blinking. First, a person closes his eyes with his hands, remains in this position for several seconds. Then he abruptly removes his hands, turns his head in different directions, without blinking. Then it blinks frequently several times.

Complex system of exercises

Complex exercises for the eye muscles help not only relax the muscles, but also improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the organs of vision.

There are several complexes, but the action of all of them is aimed at resting the eyes and restoring vision.

All exercises are extremely simple, do not require special skills. For their implementation, you need to relax as much as possible, retire, so that no one bothers.

Eye training

The developer of the eye training program is American Marilyn Roy. Her methodology is based on exercises based on relaxation, focusing, and concentration on various objects.

A healthy lifestyle, regular exercise can maintain good vision throughout life.

All doctors and specialists agree in one opinion: the eyes should rest more often. Try to alternate working at the computer or watching TV with good rest for vision.

Special exercises, which include gymnastics for the eyes, can not only effectively eliminate the fatigue of the organs of vision. With the help of gymnastics, you can increase visual acuity and significantly correct some eye pathologies. This technique has been known to people for a long time, over time, ophthalmologists have further improved gymnastic complexes. It should be remembered that exercises to restore vision help more effectively if the negative factors that impair vision are eliminated to the maximum.

Fast rhythm of life modern man requires the utmost stress of the body, in particular, the organs of vision. During the day, the eyes perceive and process about 85% of all information coming from outside. The eye muscles become exhausted during excessive intense loads, which leads to a decrease in visual acuity. This, in turn, worsens the quality of life. To see 100% means to feel all the delights of life in full.

Poor eyesight observed in pathologies of intrauterine development or decreases in the course of life.

There are a number of factors that impair human vision:

• Wrong way of life. Irregular rest, chronic fatigue lead the body to a state of critical exhaustion. A long pastime or work associated with sitting in front of a computer monitor for many hours adversely affects the visual analyzer.

• Diet violation. Bad effect on vision balanced diet when the necessary trace elements and vitamins that are not synthesized by our body do not come with food. A person must receive them with food.
• back diseases, circulatory system. Infringement of the nerve roots due to osteochondrosis, hernias disrupts the blood supply and innervation of the neck and head. This provokes a decrease in the quality of vision.
• Intoxication with alcohol, drugs; alcohol poisoning.
• Eye injuries, infections (especially chronic, neglected forms). Viruses and bacteria, penetrating into the tissues of the eye organs, provoke their organic changes.
• environmental factor.

All these factors provoke an overstrain of the visual muscles, changes in the retina and corneal layer (injuries).

Modern ophthalmology offers to eliminate violations with the help of medications, surgical intervention. However, experts often prescribe specially designed gymnastic complexes to patients.

If you perform special exercises for the eyes, it may save you from surgery in the future.

What are the benefits of eye gymnastics?

The most common pathologies of the eyes are provoked negative factors or congenital insufficiency myopathy, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism. They are observed in the adult population and children, forcing them to wear uncomfortable glasses and lenses for many years.

Is it possible to improve vision without surgery? For prevention and as therapeutic measure Ophthalmologists recommend doing special exercises, which are very useful for the visual organs.

Proper exercise and regular warm-up for the eyes has positive impact:

• improves blood flow metabolic processes, nutrition of eye tissues;
• reduces hypertonicity of the eye muscles, trains and strengthens muscular system;
• stimulates accommodation of the lens;
• trains the physiological focus of the gaze;
• positively affects the muscles of the neck, innervation.

Contraindications for exercise are considered recovery period after difficult surgical interventions on the eyes, serious damage eyeball.

In such cases, the expediency of charging at home is decided with the doctor, the specialist can advise a specific list of exercises in each case.

The technique was developed by the Englishman W. Bates to effectively relieve stress from tired eyes. "Palm" in translation from English. means "palm" - it is with the help of the hands that the procedure is carried out.

A set of exercises for the eyes is quite simple, it can be performed at home, during breaks at work, for children at school break. The people whose labor activity associated with continuous stay in front of a computer monitor, working with small details, such gymnastics is very useful. Palming must be done every hour.

Stages of implementation:

1. You need to sit up straight (preferably at a table or desk), relax, divert attention from everyday worries and close your eyes.
2. Cover the eyes with the palms of the hands: cover the right eye with the right palm, the left eye with the left. The fingers of both hands are crossed on the forehead. Palms do not need to press on the eyeballs, they are relaxed. It is important that no light enters the eyes. The eyes must be in absolute darkness.
3. Lower your elbows on a hard, stable surface, lean on them. The spinal column should be in the most even position, you can not stoop.
4. Breathing is even and calm cervical muscles relaxed.
5. Imagine a picture in front of you that gives you psychological comfort, balancing and calming nerves ( beautiful landscape, sea surface, sunset, etc.).
6. You can turn on relaxing music to relax. If you are at work, use headphones.
7. In a state of relaxation, you need to be from about a few seconds to several minutes.
8. After charging, you must first slightly open your palms so that your eyes, previously in the dark, get used to daylight. Only after that you can open your eyes, blink intensively for 10-15 seconds.

Palming is carried out during the day as needed several times. The procedure restores vision by 100 percent due to beneficial relaxation. Restores visual acuity and allows you to increase the clarity of vision.

Cannot be done with retinal detachment, after recent vision correction surgically.

Yogis are famous experts in the field of longevity and good health. The proposed complex for improving vision will help keep your eyes healthy until old age.

Exercise should be done every day, morning and evening. Then you won't need reading glasses and Everyday life.

First you need to take a comfortable position for yourself. If you can sit in the lotus position, great. You can also sit on a hard surface (on the floor) on your heels or take a comfortable position on a chair. Straighten your back, while trying, if possible, to achieve muscle relaxation, distract from annoying thoughts. Look straight ahead, do not strain your eyes.

• Breathe in your belly, evenly and deeply. Take a look at your space between the eyebrows, hold your eyes on it. Inhale the air slowly, as you exhale, look straight again. Over time, it will take longer to hold your gaze between the eyebrows (about five minutes).
• Breathe deeply too. Look at the tip of your nose. Hold your eyes in this position and return to their original position. Close your eyes for a couple of minutes to let them rest.
• Breathing in the air full chest, look, without turning your head, to the right as far as it will go, then to the left.
• Point eyeballs to top corner to the right, then return to the starting position. Then you should direct your gaze to the upper left corner of the space in front of you.

• On a slow, measured breath, lower your eyes down, turn the eyeball clockwise up (to the 12 o'clock mark). Without delay, carry out a measured exhalation, lowering your gaze clockwise down (to the number 6).
• Then do the same movements, only counterclockwise.

Do five sets. After that, you can perform a warm-up for the eyebrows: frown, intensively raise and lower the eyebrows. It well tones the muscles of the face.

Oculomotor exercises

When a person is forced to concentrate his gaze for a long time on one object, this can cause a decrease in visual acuity, drying of the mucous membrane of the eye.

It is necessary to do oculomotor gymnastics at home.

It helps to improve the clarity of visual perception:

• To perform the exercises, you need to take a comfortable sitting position. Look into the distance, then focus on the nearest object or on the tip of your own nose. Alternately change the focus of the gaze. Look up - to the superciliary region, then down - looking at your chin.
• In order to increase the angle of view, the following therapeutic exercises for the eyes are used. Stretch your arms in front of you at chest level, parallel to the floor. Raise your index finger on both hands. Make arched movements of the hands in the air, follow them with your eyes. Neither the neck nor the head is turned, the movements are performed only with the eyeballs.
• You can increase eye coordination with a simple exercise at home. In the air in front of you, “write” with your eyes the numbers from zero to ten in order. Close your eyes, blink for a few seconds. Repeat the exercise by counting backwards. Do five sets. You can complete the gymnastics with palming.

Exercises for children

The child's vision must be trained with early years for his proper development. Until the age of eighteen visual organs continue to form, therefore, with the help of simple exercises, you can significantly improve the condition of children's eyes so that in the future the child does not feel discomfort and, possibly, complexes from wearing glasses or lenses. It is necessary to accustom the baby to gymnastic exercises.

Physiotherapy for the eyes suggests effective exercises that you can teach your baby at home:

• Palming. The child should cover his eyes with his palms to prevent light from entering, lower his eyelids. The exercise is enough to do one minute. Advise your child to perform palming at school breaks. This allows you to relieve eye strain that occurs in the classroom.
• Drawing with the tip of the nose. The exercise also relieves tension from the neck. Let the child imagine before his eyes nice picture. In the air in front of him, the child draws an imaginary image. Do the exercise with closed or open eyes. Invite the child to write figures or numbers from one to ten in front of him in the air, then in reverse order.
• Show your child how to focus his eyes: alternately on distant objects and close ones. Effective training improves the accommodation of the lens, there is an increase in visual acuity.

The proposed complex must be alternated with the relaxation of the eye muscles, over time, increase the number of approaches and the frequency of execution.

In addition to exercise, you need to monitor how much time the child spends on computer games whether he observes reading hygiene - the distance of the book from the eyes should be at least 30 centimeters, the room should be sufficiently illuminated.

Teenagers should wear special goggles that protect their eyes from radiation.

A warm-up for the eyes can be successfully combined at home with an eyeball massage. This manipulation restores well visual function, improves the condition of the eye socket. Massage is carried out with clean hands.

Close your eyes, with your fingertips massage the skin of the lowered eyelids with light circular movements. Movements should be light, stroking.

You can't put pressure on your eyes. Rotate with your fingertips first in one direction, then in the opposite direction. The massage lasts 1-2 minutes (it is allowed to increase the duration up to 3 minutes if desired). After the manipulation, we do not immediately open our eyes. If you immediately open your eyes, you may experience a blurry picture. This phenomenon will pass in a few seconds on its own. Massage often begins and ends gymnastics for the eyes. A complex approach improves the efficiency of both procedures.

Such exposure is strictly contraindicated during the recovery period after laser correction after other eye surgeries. Do not use for people suffering from retinal detachment, with increased eye pressure, fundus hemorrhage - massage can increase the risk of their progression. Before proceeding with such a procedure, it is necessary to consult a doctor.

Gymnastics for the eyes in most cases at home can restore good vision.

Exercises should be performed regularly, the tension of the eye muscles combined with relaxation. If you feel discomfort while charging, it must be stopped immediately.

You will need to establish a balanced diet. Eat more vegetables, berries, fruits, milk, legumes, nuts. Important correct mode days, it is recommended to increase the pastime by fresh air, give up bad habits get rid of pathologies that provoke visual disturbances.

Before doing exercises at home, you need to be examined by an ophthalmologist, consult a specialist.

Mental and physical overstrain are considered to be the main factors of visual impairment. Chronic fatigue and lack of normal rest, permanent job at the computer poses overwhelming tasks before the eyes. Bad ecology and malnutrition play their role.

If a person's diet is defective and does not give the body all essential trace elements, it will certainly be reflected in the eyes. Some viral diseases, problems with the neck and spine, trauma and intoxication can cause problems with the visual muscles, cornea and retina.

When are eye exercises effective?

Visual acuity depends not only on the state of the lens, but also on correct operation eye muscles. With the help of their contraction, the gaze is focused on a distant or near object. If the muscles, for some reason, do not work properly, vision is impaired.

In lenses, the muscles from constant stay in one position are overstrained even more, and the disease continues to develop. In order for the muscles to be in the necessary tone, it is useful to do exercises for vision. They will help with various deviations - myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism. Some complexes can be done as a preventive measure so that vision remains sharp at long years.

Exercises for nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism

Gymnastics for the eyes to improve vision will preserve or restore vision. Do not immediately overload the eyes, this can cause pain and worsen the condition. At first, you should pay attention to light exercises, and then, gradually training the eye, complicate the whole complex. You need to focus on your feelings, and not do something that causes serious discomfort. The more regular the eye training is, the faster the restoration of visual function will occur.

Astigmatism develops as a result of a change in the shape of the cornea or lens of the eye. The deformed organ incorrectly refracts light rays, from which the image on the retina is significantly distorted. A person suffers from headaches, discomfort, the world looks blurry.

Eye training in this case will only help on early stage diseases, as an addition to the main treatment. Exercises are mainly aimed at relieving muscle tension.

Each exercise is done at least six times, in between it is necessary to blink to relax the muscles.

1. Imagine a cross and slide your eyes along its lines. First up and down, then left and right. Complicating the exercise, you can add diagonal lines to the cross.
2. Glide around in an imaginary circle.
3. Follow the outline of a square with your eyes
4. Imagine the number 8, glide over it with your eyes. Then turn the figure eight on its side so that you get an infinity sign, repeat the exercise
5. Complicating, add different imaginary shapes - polygons, stars, spirals

With this defect of vision, the image is focused in front of the retina, which leads to impaired discrimination of distant objects. A person may experience headaches, poor visibility in low light. Without treatment, the disease progresses.
