Every person who notices a decrease in vision falls into a slight panic. Because of this situation, a series of new problems is growing: what glasses to buy, whether they will spoil the image, how to accustom yourself to wear them, whether new eye diseases will begin to develop. Of course, an ophthalmologist will help answer most of these questions. He will write you a prescription for glasses and give you a complete list of drugs that you need to buy at the pharmacy. But in fact, each person can independently restore vision without resorting to expensive medications and complex procedures, of course, if the disease is not started, but only begins to manifest itself. One has only to try, and the result will definitely be positive!
All eye diseases can be divided into two stages: the usual gradual deterioration of vision (the initial stage) and complex diseases, which include cataracts, glaucoma, dacryocystitis, hemophthalmia, astigmatism, and so on. An ophthalmologist will help to exclude the manifestation of dangerous ailments; without his consultations, you should not undertake any independent treatment. In addition, with complex diseases, self-medication can be not only ineffective, but also dangerous. We strongly advise you to visit your doctor before using traditional medicine, so as not to aggravate the situation.
Why vision deteriorates
In order to achieve a quick result from the use of traditional medicine recipes, you need to know what factors affect visual impairment. If you own this information, you can more effectively get rid of or weaken this ailment.
- Constant focus on nearby objects. Reading books, watching TV, working at the computer for a long time does not make the muscles tense. From this, the tone of the eye muscles deteriorates and vision begins to gradually fall.
- Natural aging of the retina. Unfortunately, over time, the retina of the eye loses its properties and from this vision begins to deteriorate. If you want to delay this process, eat more vegetables and fruits, which contain a large amount of vitamins.
- Bright or insufficient lighting causes the eyes to be in constant tension.
- Reading in transport. It greatly affects the normal functioning of the eyes. The vibration that appears during the trip has a negative effect on concentration. We strongly recommend that you stop reading books and newspapers on the subway, bus or train.

Gymnastics for the eyes
A special place among the numerous means of traditional medicine is occupied by ordinary gymnastics for the eyes. If infusions and decoctions must be prepared in advance, kept at a certain temperature, then the exercises can be done anywhere at any time. Whether you're on the bus or taking a break, take 10 minutes for your health. After a few sessions of this therapy, you will definitely feel an improvement. Most importantly, be sure to remove your glasses or contact lenses - therapeutic exercises should take place in a natural environment for the eyes.
It is noticed that the eyes function well due to the normal work of the visual muscles. In order to keep them in constant tone, you must perform the following exercises:
- Blink.Without straining your eyes, blink lightly and quickly. This has a positive effect on blood circulation.
- Far, close.The following exercise is based on different focusing of vision. Imagine that there is a dot on the window. Move your gaze from it to the view outside the window. Then look at the window again. Do this several times.
- Pinch-open.Close your eyes tightly for 6-7 seconds. and then open wide. Do this at least 10 times. Stimulates blood circulation, strengthens eye muscles.
- Pressure on the eyelid.With three fingers of both hands, press on the upper eyelids of the eyes. Without applying much force, hold it for 2-3 seconds and release your fingers. This massage is very beneficial for the circulation of intraocular fluid.
- Cold and hot shower- Do it daily in the morning. Make it a habit to do a contrast shower for your eyes every day. Start with hot water that doesn't scald too much. Rinse your face, paying particular attention to your eyes. Then repeat the same with cold water. It is recommended to finish water procedures with cool water.
- Imagine something nice.An emergency remedy for returning the eyes to working capacity is to close your eyes and imagine something pleasant. The eyes relax from this and gradually return to normal.
- Draw pictures.Come up with some image on your own and outline it around the edges, without focusing on real objects. Draw virtual lines up, down, sideways, make circular movements.
In fact, regular eye exercises are much more effective than it might seem at first glance. Do not forget to do all the exercises daily.
If your eyes are tired from long-term work at the computer, you can also successfully apply them by unloading during a hard day's work.
In conclusion, I would like to note that following the simplest rules will help you not to worry about visual impairment until old age. You need to spend less time at the computer (or take regular breaks), eat more natural products, lead a healthy lifestyle, give up bad habits, work, read or write only in suitable lighting.
