Restoration of vision with farsightedness

Farsightedness is a visual defect in which a person sees objects at a distance clearly and sees blurry things that are near. There are difficulties with focusing.

Farsightedness is of three types:

1. Physiological . Occurs in 90% of infants and is associated with the small size of the eyeball. As you grow, the eyeball increases, and vision returns to normal.
2. If with age the eyeball has not grown to the norm, the physiological farsightedness has become aggravated and has become pathological farsightedness.
3. Age-related farsightedness. It affects up to 90% of the total population over 40 years of age. It is associated with the loss of elasticity of the lens and the loss of the ability to focus on any object. The muscles that hold the crystal weaken, all objects become blurry and fuzzy.

The development of farsightedness is accelerated by injuries, frequent colds, inflammation in the eye area, surgical interventions, visual strain for a long time, abnormal intraocular pressure, reading in poor lighting, and stress.

Farsightedness symptoms:

• After prolonged reading or working with objects located at a close distance from the eyes, tearing, eye fatigue, and headaches appear.
• Vision becomes fuzzy, blurry.
• Reading is difficult - there is not enough lighting, the letters are blurry, the font seems too small.

Farsightedness is an extremely unpleasant disease that you want to say goodbye to as soon as possible. To start treatment, you need a correct diagnosis that will establish the degree of farsightedness and help restore vision. Ophthalmologists conduct the necessary examination:

• Check visual acuity without glasses.
• With the help of special devices, the degree of farsightedness is checked.
• Ultrasound is used to measure the length of the eye and the thickness of the cornea.
• With the help of ophthalmoscopy, the size of the fundus is measured, the condition of the retina, blood vessels and optic nerves of the eyes is examined.

Individual examinations may be ordered

Treatment is prescribed after the diagnosis is made.

• Restoration of vision with farsightedness
• Restoring vision with glasses and lenses
• The quality of the picture seen through the glasses is improved by 90%.

Pros of wearing glasses:

• Glasses can be chosen by absolutely anyone, their choice is wide and varied.
• They can help reduce the risk of disease progression.
• The glasses have no contraindications.
• Putting on glasses is much easier than putting on lenses.

Flaws:

• Glasses are not suitable as a restoration of vision.
• Glasses are uncomfortable when playing sports.
• They fog up in cold weather, and in the summer they move out of the nose due to sweat.
• May cause pressure on the bridge of the nose or behind the ear, especially in the elderly.
• For the farsighted, several glasses are needed, since reading and writing requires a shorter distance than driving a car or playing a musical instrument.

Lenses in vision correction:

• The glasses provide a good picture only in the center of the glass, and the lenses create the same effect as the vision of a healthy person.
• With lenses, you can run and lead an active lifestyle.
• Some types of lenses can be worn without removing for a month.

Of the disadvantages of lenses:

• When wearing lenses, dry eyes, redness, burning sensation may develop.
• The eyes get very tired if you work at the computer for a long time.
• Putting on lenses can cause some discomfort for some.

Lenses, like glasses, cannot restore vision. If the picture is restored, irreversible processes still occur in the eye, which lead to further deterioration of vision, especially for age-related farsightedness.

Surgical intervention

For people suffering from farsightedness between the ages of 18 and 40, modern medicine can offer laser therapy. During the operation, the ophthalmologist makes a micro-incision with a cold laser and corrects the thickness of the cornea layer so that the image falls exactly on the retina. The procedure takes no more than 30 minutes. After the operation, vision is restored within 2-3 hours. Restoration of vision, therefore, is considered to be the most optimal and giving a 100% result today.

To restore vision, people over 40 are offered microsurgery. This procedure involves replacing the lens with an artificial one or inserting a phakic lens into the eye.

The replacement of the lens with a transparent implant with a lens of a certain optical power is done by ultrasonic phacoemulsification. As anesthesia for such an operation, I act as drops of anesthetics. Rehabilitation after surgery is short, vision is restored completely.

The introduction of a phakic lens into the eye implies the installation of a lens directly into the eye. After the operation, vision returns to normal within 2-4 hours. Microsurgery restores the picture by 100% and restores vision with age-related farsightedness. After the operation, all the recommendations of the doctor are required.

The operation cannot be performed if:

1. There are chronic diseases.
2. They were treated with hormonal drugs.
3. There are acute eye or general infections.
4. The state of the retina can lead to its detachment (dystrophic changes).

Eye drops to restore vision with farsightedness

People suffering from farsightedness are forced to constantly keep their eyes in tension, resulting in tearing, burning or dry eyes, and headaches. To alleviate the symptoms, medications are prescribed to help both the eyes and the patient feel more comfortable. Before prescribing medication, an accurate diagnosis must be made. Drugs are prescribed that saturate the eyes with vitamins and microelements, drops with artificial analogues of tear fluid, drops that narrow the pupil, and drugs to stabilize vision. Eye drops for restoring vision with farsightedness are aimed at eliminating dryness, inflammation and eye strain.

Medical treatment can prevent worsening of the disease. Especially when combined with a course of gymnastics for the eyes.

Exercises to restore vision

Gymnastics for the eyes should be done every day for at least five minutes:

Such exercises improve blood flow to the muscles of the eyes and stimulate the lens, training its ability to focus properly.

It is also necessary to perform a set of exercises to restore vision with farsightedness:

1. Sit comfortably, relax and close your eyes. Place palms on the eyelids, but without pressure on them. After 2 minutes of complete darkness, without opening your eyes, you need to start moving your eyes to the left and right, stopping for 2-3 seconds at the extreme points of the eye. In each direction 10 times.
2. With an imaginary pencil located at the tip of the nose, write the alphabet in capital letters, trying as much as possible not to tear the pencil off the paper and between the letters.
3. Extend your hand in front of you with your index finger raised. Focus on objects in the distance, and then look at the tip of your finger. If the exercise is done correctly, in the first case the finger will be blurred, in the second case the finger will become clearly visible, the rest of the picture will be blurred.
4. Stretch your right hand in front of you and focus on the nail of your middle finger, then slowly bring your hand closer to the tip of your nose without looking away. Do the same exercise with your left hand.

Exercises to restore vision help to improve the functioning of the muscles of the neck and cervical vertebrae, which improves blood circulation and has a beneficial effect on blood circulation in the eye area. The muscles of the eyes are trained.
