How to restore vision at home
The problem of vision loss is common to many. There is no universal solution to this issue. Improving vision at home should be comprehensive. For this you need:

With age, farsightedness occurs in almost everyone. To slow down the development of pathology, it is recommended to take the following measures at home:

Instead of individual letters, it uses text printed in different fonts. Based on the book by M. Norbekov, training for vision is carried out taking into account the rules:
- With farsightedness, the table is placed at a distance of 15 cm from the eye.
- If a person has impaired visual function in only one eye, then the healthy eye is closed before training.
- With myopia, the table is placed at a distance of at least 30 cm from the eyes.
- If a person has impaired visual function in both eyes, but one of them has farsightedness, and the other has nearsightedness, you should practice alternately.
- When looking at the table, they start reading the text from the top row to the bottom. Determine the working line (after that, the letters begin to blur). Through regular practice, the patient gradually descends and sees more text.
