Currently, ophthalmologists have developed many methods to improve visual capacities.What is the effectiveness of eyes gymnastics?The exercises to restore vision only show the result if they are performed regularly and combined with other therapy methods.
Each second resident has a visual impairment.You can only restore the visual function only using the laser correction.
Experts distinguish two types of myopia - false and true.With a false myopia, the deterioration of visual capacities occurs following a accommodation spasm.Most often, the spasm of the eye muscles is observed in childhood and adolescence, as well as in people who experience prolonged loads on the eyes.If you identify a pathology at an early stage, visual gymnastics will really help restore the visual function.
With real myopia, the drop in vision does not occur due to accommodation spasms, but due to the growth of the eyeball.In this case, the exercises are unable to return a normal vision.However, this does not mean that they are useless.
Eye exercises will help relieve SUF -CAS, improve blood microcirculation and metabolism processes in eyeballs, which will not return the clarity of vision, but to avoid the progression of the disease.

A complex of exercises for myopia

The following exercises will help improve blood flow in the eyes and enrich the tissues of the vision organs:
- flash for a minute;
- A point is fixed on the window glass.It is necessary to keep a distance of 1 meter from the window, to select a remote element.Alternatively, translate the gaze of the tags to the object.Repeat 10 times;

- Trinazhi Supers.These devices are a plastic base with perforated lenses.During the gaze through the holes, the light falls on the retina through the central axis, increasing the clarity of the subject in question.Systematic use of glasses (10-15 minutes three times a day) will help relieve muscle tension, relax muscles, improve blood circulation and metabolic processes in eye tissue.
- Simulator professor.The doctor has developed a special simulator that allows you to remove visual overwork and relax the muscles.The simulator is a colored ring and lines drawn on paper with signs.It can be done independently, hang on the wall and cross the trajectory with the eyes, 5-6 times a day for 20 movements.
- Palmer.The American ophthalmologist W. Bates offered its own version of eye training - palm, relaxation of the eye muscles.The eyelids are covered with palms, trying not to touch them, for 1 minute.The purpose of the exercise is the maximum relaxation of the eyeballs.
- Computer simulators.For people who have been on the computer for a long time, special programs have been developed, which, after a while, offers a break and rest in their eyes.
