Exercises to restore vision with myopia

From myopia, if it is not congenital, but acquired with age, you can gradually get rid of, or at least stop its further development. This is not about 2-3 weeks, here you should stock up on great patience and desire. Set yourself a goal that in a year, for example, your vision will recover a little, and your eyes will begin to see a little better with glasses weaker by 0.5-1, and in some cases even more diopters. With the regular implementation of the recommendations given in this article, you can significantly affect both visual acuity and eye health in general.

Reasons for the development of the disease

The main causes of myopia are eye fatigue due to an incorrect lifestyle, incorrect reading, non-compliance with the quantity and quality of using a computer, TV in a person's life. Here, speaking of quality, we mean the screen resolution of equipment that affects the eyes, adjustable screen brightness, the presence of glare (the video card began to deteriorate), and so on. When buying a new laptop or phone and tablet, you should pay attention to its technical characteristics. If the buyer does not understand them on his own, then you can contact a consultant and explain that you need a laptop for work, explain how much time a day you are going to spend on it, and if you wear contact lenses rather than glasses, it would be useful to report the fact that you need a laptop that will bring a minimum of harm to vision, as and so there are problems with it. A competent specialist will select what you need, give practical advice.

Further, when working with a computer, while watching TV, you should take small breaks from time to time for 1-2 minutes every 8-10 minutes. The fact is that if a person continuously looks at the screen, the shell of the eye dries up, the eye is in tension and gets tired faster. During the break, you can do one of the exercises to restore vision or go to another room, drink water or do something around the house.

In the morning, just waking up, a person leading a healthy lifestyle does exercises. If there is myopia, then one should not neglect also exercises for the eyes to restore vision. It can be done immediately after waking up, without getting out of bed.

We open the tap with cold water and, having collected water in the palms, we sprinkle them on open eyes. A contrast shower will be even more useful.

Nutrition for myopia

To restore vision with myopia, exercise plays a significant role. But in order to get a greater effect, you need to act comprehensively. For starters, review your diet. Here you can highlight products that help strengthen vision due to the content in their composition of beneficial minerals and vitamins that are necessary for the eyes. Blueberries come first here. It can be eaten both fresh and canned. It is known that its extracts are part of many pharmacy vitamin complexes for vision. Next, you need to pay attention to the carrots. It contains carotene, which in the human body can turn into vitamin A, which is also useful for the condition of the eyes, hair and nails. Carrots are best eaten as a salad dressed with cream and sugar. It is cream, since vitamin A does not dissolve in water, it is fat-soluble, and it will be better absorbed not with vegetable fats, but with animals. In this case, cream is an ideal option, combined with carrots both in taste and in benefits.

For lovers, you can consider nettle dishes. The grass collected in May will have the greatest benefit. You can make salads from nettles, add it to soups. You can also dry May nettle, grind it into powder and add to soups and main dishes instead of spices. A month of the stinging nettle diet along with exercise can do wonders for clearer eyesight.

Sit comfortably on a chair or armchair, take the coachman's position. The back is straight, the body is slightly tilted forward, the elbows rest on the knees. Close your eyes and cover them with your palms. Eyes should be closed without any tension, do not squint. So you should sit for about 3-5 minutes, until all sorts of spots and glare stop flashing before your eyes, and you just see darkness. This exercise relieves eye strain, which is important for maintaining their condition.

Also, following the diet recommended by the doctor, abstaining from bad habits, if it is not possible to eradicate them completely.
