A set of therapeutic exercises for the eyes with myopia

Exercises for myopia

The first exercises for myopia were developed here, in Russia. They consisted in the fact that a person who suffers from myopia had to look at a concave lens for fifteen minutes. At first the lens was weak, but every day a stronger lens is put on, as over time the eye adjusts to a weaker lens. In connection with the performance of such exercises, the person's eyesight improved.

Nowadays, such exercises are also practiced in clinics. Plus and minus lenses are used to train the eye muscles. First, reading begins with half diopter glass. That is, with minus glass.

Then the reading with a stronger glass continues for about five minutes. Then the lens is reduced by one diopter. Each subsequent glass is left for one minute. Plus glasses are also used. During the first days, this procedure is carried out once a day, and in the following days - twice.

The amount of accommodation is determined every three days. The entire course of this treatment takes about thirty exercises. The main condition for such studies is continuous reading of the text. It's good if this text is interesting to a person.

Self-training exercises

For a long time, people have known and used such eye exercises, which are based on improving blood circulation in the eyes and brain. With such exercises, tension from the eyes, mental tension is relieved, wrinkles around the eyes are also smoothed and aging is delayed.

There is also a vibrating massager that can help relieve eye strain. The muscles of the face are stimulated in the same way. A vibrotode is inserted to the outer corner of the closed eye; after it is turned on, vibrations are transmitted to the eye through the skin. At the same time, due to vibrations, such a massage goes deep into the eye without injuring it. Then you need to make eye movements in different directions.

As a result, the eye muscles are stimulated. With this massage, vision improves, the lens shrinks, and fatigue decreases. This is a good exercise for the prevention of hyperopia.

There is also the technique of the famous physician M. Corbett. The main thing here is to relax the muscles of the eyes.

There are several basic principles in this technique. Under strong stress, a person's vision deteriorates, but vision can be improved. When the eyes are tired, they stop quickly and blink frequently. Frequent and fast blinking is essential for eye health. And the longer a person wears glasses, the more the eyes get used to this way of improving vision.

And here are the recommendations for this method:

- do not read a book in bed before going to bed: you can fall asleep with a book, and the tension from your eyes will not be removed;

- do not hold the book on your chest or knees, as in this position blood circulation worsens, and due to compression of the larynx, breathing worsens;

- it is necessary that the distance between the eyes and the book is constantly changing, so the muscles of the eyes will not be numb.

Solarization

The sun plays an important role and how your eyes react to prolonged exposure to the sun. If your eyes are prone to rapid fatigue, then you can use the following method.

You need to stand in the shade or in the corridor - where there is a border of the fall of the sun's rays. Try to close your eyes and swing so that your face is first in the sun and then in the shade. After several such sessions, you will feel a tonic effect.

It is good to close your eyes to the sun when you’re just out of a dark place, as harsh contrasts quickly tire your eyes.

Breath

When a person does not see well, he constantly tries to see objects, thus, it turns out that he is holding his breath. As a result, there is not enough oxygen in the blood, and the eyes begin to darken.

But the eyes need oxygen and increased blood circulation.

In this regard, it is necessary to use the technique of "prolonged" breathing. With this technique, you must remove air from your lungs when your lips are tightly compressed, this is done with a hiss. This technique is used for visual impairment.

Palming

Connect your fingers on your forehead, in its center. This way, your palms will close your eyes tightly. This will improve blood circulation to the eyes, and they will rest faster. Palming for at least two minutes will improve your vision. If you do palming correctly, then the edges of the palms will touch the nose only slightly, while the thumbs should be in the temples. Reading When you read, your eyes do a great job. Your gaze moves along the line not smoothly, but in jumps. Then the gaze stops. When jumping, the eye does not have time to distinguish the text, but recognizes it only when it stops. If your eyes are tired, then you stop reading, change your posture more often, move the text closer to your eyes. Very bad for the eyes if you are reading poorly lit or blurry text. Children who do not develop their spatial-visual activity tilt their heads low. Do not read while lying down, as it is difficult to provide good lighting in this position. Do not read in public transport, there is also poor lighting, and constant vibrations change the distance from the book to your eyes, which makes your eyes get tired quickly. In no case should you read while walking.

Visual comfort

Artificial lighting was created in order to extend the daylight hours of a person and provide him with the opportunity to continue his work activity in the evening. But it should be remembered that the best artificial lighting is the one that is closest to natural, that is, to solar radiation.

There are warm colors - they include yellow, red, orange - and cold colors: purple, blue, blue. It is believed that green has a calming effect, since all the plants around us are green.

In our time, fluorescent lamps are widely used. They are very different from incandescent bulbs. The good news is that they are close to the solar spectrum. However, the ideal is still very far away. In order to adjust the spectrum of the lamp, colored reflectors must be used.

TVs, monitors

Currently, televisions and computers are very common in human life. However, if ergonomic rules are not followed correctly, symptoms of fatigue and eye strain occur. These factors include decreased visual acuity, rapid fatigue, pain in the eyes, headaches.

All of these symptoms decrease a person's performance.

If, perhaps, not all people encounter a computer, but TV has long been firmly embedded in our life. The eyes get tired and tired quickly from the TV. In order to avoid this, they use many methods: turn on the light, use a special protective film on the TV screen, and much more.

To reduce fatigue, use an edging matte color light frame. Also paint the wall facing the screen blue-blue. And other walls should be light colors. There are some tips to help you reduce eye strain when using your computer:

1) evening lighting of the office - blue shades, about the brightness of the display; 2) charge the eyes every 30–45 minutes.

Night vision

If a person entered a dark room from a lighted street, then for the first few minutes he will not see absolutely anything. But on the other hand, after some time, he will begin to distinguish very well all objects in a dark room.

In order to improve your night vision, many techniques have been invented.

One of these includes a technique that was invented back in the thirties.

It turned out that white and red flares can greatly enhance night vision. And red is considered more effective.

There are some more recommendations:

- avoid the light directly entering your eyes; - if the eye was exposed to a bright light, then in the dark there will be blinding. In order to restore vision faster, it is necessary to "light up" the eye with blue light after blinding; - in the case of reading small icons, the light should fall only on the working surface; - To increase the sensitivity of vision, take ten deep breaths.

Eyesight and sports

If you or your child suffers from myopia, then all contraindications should be taken into account when playing sports, especially with heavy loads, as this can greatly harm your vision.

Video simulators

This is a special class of technical devices, thanks to which you can train your eyes to restore vision. This technique is especially useful for children.

This technique has already been described above. That is, a lens is installed between the reading text and the eyes, which makes reading easier or more difficult.
