Is it possible to restore vision?

Ophthalmologists agree that vision restoration is possible. The fastest, most effective, but also expensive way will be laser surgery.

She is equally good at combating myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other even more serious problems. In addition to the operation, there are more gentle methods, for example:

• Special glasses to restore vision;
• Night lenses;
• Special sets of exercises.

Also, do not forget about a special diet that strengthens the body in general and the eyes in particular. Each of the methods presented below.

Glasses to restore vision

Perforated glasses simulators, which are also called "glasses with holes" are recommended for use for a variety of vision problems, such as: from eye strain to presbyopia. They consist of a metal or plastic frame, into which, instead of standard lenses, special plates of opaque black plastic with a large number of round holes are inserted.

The holes in these plates are placed in accordance with an algorithm called pseudo-chess. In this case, the distance between their central parts horizontally is three mm, diagonally - 3.5. The number of such holes is not a fixed value and depends only on the dimensions of the frame itself. Such a distribution of holes in the glasses of simulators makes it possible to minimize jumps in the event of a shift in gaze from one object to another.

Due to the fact that there is no need for focusing, the eye muscles relax and also experience less tension. As a result, vision and performance improve, and fatigue decreases. This useful accessory prevents eye muscles from atrophy, stops the loss of elasticity of the lens and optimizes metabolism in the eye tissues.

Certain models have a cutout in the lower area of the lens, which ensures that the eye is illuminated with special beams. This opens up possibilities for improving blood circulation through the vessels and helps people who are faced with myopia to see at fairly close distances without taking off their glasses.

Similar simulator effect:

• Prevents the muscles of the eye from degrading, because the lens does not lose elasticity;
• Makes more active metabolism in the tissues of the eyes;
• Prevents the formation of cataracts and other diseases of the visual system.

However, there are also contraindications for the use of these glasses. We are talking about glaucoma, retinal diseases, nystagmus and progressive myopia.

Night vision restoration lenses

Another way to help restore vision is night lenses, or orthokeratology. The technique is based on some change in the corneal epithelium under the influence of a lens. So, the patient puts on the lenses before going to bed, and takes them off in the morning. This makes it possible to modify the refraction of light in the eye area, focus it on the retina and get the clearest possible display of objects at various distances. Throughout the next day, the patient sees perfectly without the use of not only glasses, but even contact lenses. For subsequent adjustments, you will need to constantly apply these lenses at night.

Orthokeratology has both pros and cons:

• The advantages are simplicity in obtaining results and absolute safety, because the risk of wearing properly selected lenses does not exceed the likelihood of deterioration with standard lens corrections. Under the influence of lenses used at night, the cornea does not experience oxygen deprivation. However, this happens with standard contact correction.
• In addition, the exchange of tears is stabilized, which, with this type of restoration of vision, does not interfere and there is no violation of the normal anatomy of the cornea and the integrity of its layers.
• The disadvantages include the fact that the presented procedures can last only for a limited period of time: from 12 to 36 months. There is a need for regular (if not daily) lens wear and care as with standard contact therapy. It is also much more difficult to choose lenses suitable for orthokeratology than with contact lenses.

As a result of using night lenses, the possibility of certain complications is not excluded. Experts note the risk of the following phenomena:

• An erosion process may form in the cornea;
• Shifting the center of the pressure area;
• Induced astigmatism in the cornea;
• Epitheliopathy;
• Hyper and hypo correction.

In addition, there is a high likelihood of corneal edema, complications after infections, and pinpoint staining of the cornea after using the lenses, if they were initially too tightly set. The result of orthokeratological restoration can be considered temporary, therefore, upon completion of their use, vision becomes the same as it was before the start of treatment. Thus, you should not take this method as a panacea and stop only at it if you need to restore visual functions.

Charging to restore vision

Standard ophthalmologist-approved vision correction exercises include 10 exercises that must be performed daily. The first is as follows: the gaze must be translated horizontally to the left and held for a few seconds. After that, in the same way, shift your gaze to the right side and also hold it for a few seconds. Then the eyes are returned to their original position and the cycle is repeated the required number of times. You should start with three approaches, increasing by one every day until the total number reaches 12.

The second exercise involves moving your gaze along a vertical line up to the stop, then down. In this case, the gaze is delayed in each position for two seconds, after which the eyes return to their original position.

To carry out the third exercise, you should look along a diagonal line to the left and up until it stops, and then to the right and down. Each time, you need to hold your gaze for two seconds. After that, the exercise can be repeated as many times as necessary.

The following elements of gymnastics:

• Look diagonally to the right and then up all the way, and then diagonally to the left and down. In each of the positions, the gaze is fixed for two seconds, after which the eyes are returned to their usual position;
• The eyes are brought up and to the nose, so that you can see the bridge of the nose and hold the gaze at this point for two seconds. Next, they move the eyes down to the area of the nose so that its tip is visible. Repeat this cycle of exercises at least three times;
• Writing rhombuses from the left and to the right with the eyes. To do this, the gaze is moved along a horizontal line to the left until it stops, and then the eyes are brought to the central area and also all the way. After that, look to the right side until it stops, and then look to the center and down. After each of the four movements, the gaze is fixed for two seconds and the eyes return to their original position;
• Another of the variants of the previous exercise, which implies that the movements are made in the opposite direction. In this case, the rhombus should be written on the right and only after that to the left;
• The difference with the sixth exercise is that instead of going up to the center and up, the eyes need to be focused on the bridge of the nose. Instead of going down to the central part, the gaze is fixed at the tip of the nose;
• It is necessary to describe the eights with the eyes. Movements should be slow, without jerking. Since this exercise is one of the most difficult, it can be done fewer times;
• The gaze is shifted along a horizontal line to the left, after which, slowly and evenly, they describe a circle with their eyes. In this case, the movement begins to the right and up. These circular movements are repeated the required number of times.

It is important to note that the optimal position for exercise is standing or sitting, the back should remain perfectly straight. All eye movements must be performed without stress and jerks. When performing all elements of gymnastics, pain should not be observed. Thus, it is with the implementation of the presented charging that it will be possible to achieve the restoration of vision as soon as possible.
