Therapeutic Exercise For The Eyes: How To Improve Vision With Exercise

Special eye exercises, done daily, will help prevent vision problems for teenagers and improve vision for adults.You need to exercise regularly, take precautions.

What vision problem?

There are several diseases in which eye alertness is affected.

  1. Myopia, or myopia, is the most common pathology.In this case, the image is formed not on the retina, but in front of it.The reason is the increase in the length of the eyeball.This disease can be hereditary or acquired due to stress or excessive stress.According to statistics, one third of people on our planet suffer from myopia.
  2. Farsightedness is a pathology in which a person sees far away, but near vision is blurred.The cause of the defect is the irregular shape of the eyeball - it is compressed.The image is focused behind the retina.If the pathology is neglected, strabismus may occur.
  3. Amblyopia is a disease related to changes in the cerebral cortex.Pathology appears only in children.Children's visual system is still plastic, so trauma or experience often contributes to the appearance of this disease.
  4. Age-related macular degeneration occurs due to metabolic disturbances in the eye's most sensitive cells.The term "macula" is translated from Latin as "place".This area is only 2 square meters in size.MM is also called "yellow spot".Pathology can occur in wet or dry form.
  5. Retinal detachment - Cells do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients.If therapy is not started immediately, the cells may die.
  6. Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness.This disease occurs due to damage to the optic nerve.Pathology requires patients to follow a strict diet, monitor blood pressure levels, and take prescribed medications.
  7. A cataract is a curvature of the lens.In this case, light rays that penetrate the eye do not reach the retina, which reduces visual acuity.
For cataracts, exercises to improve vision are indicated.

The cause of the problem

Causes of decreased visual acuity are divided into two groups:

  • descent - transmitted to someone from parents, relatives;
  • Acquired - arises under the influence of external factors.

External factors include the following:

  1. Spinal curvature and excess.It is important to monitor the posture, the position in which a person works at the computer or reads a book.The blood supply to the back of the head has a direct effect on eye health.Damages alertness and excessive mental stress.
  2. Eating unhealthy.Eyes are part of the body, so they are also affected by unhealthy food.
  3. Constant stress and lack of sleep.
  4. Injury.

To protect children from hereditary vision problems, a pregnant woman must take good care of herself and her unborn child before giving birth.To do this, he needs to eat healthy food and protect himself from stress.
