In today's world, many people have vision problems. Almost every person can remember the feeling of dryness in the eyes, redness, tension. Long work at the computer screen also affects the quality of vision.
As a preventive measure to eliminate the negative consequences of working with a computer, you can use palming (a special eye exercise). Relaxation with the help of palming will help improve vision, strengthen the eye muscles. In addition to preventive measures, there are special techniques for restoring vision.
Exercise to improve circulation
The basis of training to improve blood circulation for the eyes is massage. It is carried out with the help of strokes and pats. Relaxation to improve vision occurs with the help of simple exercises. You can start by drawing figure eights around the eye sockets. The movement is performed with fingers for 8-16 repetitions. After that, you need to move on to the following movements:
- up-down;
- in a circle;
- diagonally;
- square;
- along the upper (lower) arc;
- according to the shapes of various shapes (rhombus, triangle, etc.).
After finishing with massage movements, you canstart the following exercises:
- horizontal movements;
- rotation in a circle;
- squint-relax;
- intense blinking;
- moving diagonally;
- stand at the window alternately look at the object near and far.
Exercises to perform 6 times. The total execution time is about 5 minutes. It is best to retire, stay in complete silence, focus on technology. Relaxation for the eyes will not only improve blood circulation, but also help with such a violation as accommodation syndrome.
Accommodation Syndrome
According to the results of research by Dr. William Bates, visual impairment is associated with stress, physical and mental overstrain. This leads to accommodation syndrome, a disorder in which it is impossible to see objects at different distances.
The ability of the eye to recognize objects at different distances depends not only on the lens, but also on the eye muscles. It is they who can change the shape of the eyeball in order to focus vision on an object. Violation of accommodation does not allow the muscles to contract and stretch. They are in constant tension. Relaxation for the eyes in this case is necessary.
Impairments associated with vision are directly related to improper functioning of the muscles of the eye. For example, with myopia, the eyeball is constantly elongated, which makes it impossible to see objects located far away. With farsightedness, the opposite is true. Vision correction withusing lenses does not help to change the situation. The eye muscles remain in the same position of tension, unable to contract and stretch.
W. Bates Palming
The method of performing the palming exercise was developed by W. Bates and can be used by anyone who wants to relieve tension from the organs of vision. Relaxation for the eyes is performed as follows:
- warm hands;
- put palm on palm so that fingers cover each other;
- fix arms bent at the elbows with knees, cover eyes with hands;
- stay in this position for 5-7 minutes.
When fixing the hands in this position, it is important not to put pressure on the eyeballs, to make sure that the light does not penetrate through the fingers. This exercise helps to relax the eye muscles.
Eye relaxation program
This complex can be performed to relieve fatigue. Each exercise should be done 7-8 times.
- With open eyes, draw a figure eight (in two directions).
- Focus on the thumb extended forward. Start moving your hand to the side.
- Stretch forward and straighten either arm. Focus on her, start counting to 20. Close the right eye at five, open the right eye at 10, close the left eye at 15, open the left eye at 20.
This is a simple eye exercise. Relaxation is provided to everyone who will perform such exercises. They can be done both in combination and separately.
Gymnastics to improveview
With myopia, farsightedness and astigmatism, gymnastics is mandatory. It helps relieve tension from the muscles, bring them into tone, which will significantly speed up the treatment.
Gymnastics consists of 4 basic exercises:
- Start making slow eye movements up and down. Run 6 times in each direction. With muscle relaxation, the amplitude of execution will increase. Do a few more reps, resting 2 seconds in between.
- Smooth movements to the right and left 6 times. When performing, remember that the main task is relaxation for the eyes. Therefore, the movements of the organs of vision should be done with a minimum of effort. At the end of the exercise, do a few more times with a rest interval of 2 seconds.
- Bring your finger to your eyes at a distance of 20 cm, focus on it, look at a distant object. At a fast pace, do 10 repetitions and a few more with a rest interval of 2 seconds. This exercise is one of the most effective for improving vision. It can be done every day and as often as possible.
- Circular movements clockwise and back. Do it slowly. Repeat 3 times for 4 circles in each direction. Rest 2 seconds between cycles. Exercise to do with minimal effort.
Recommendations
Gymnastics should be done regularly without glasses or lenses. Before each approach, relax the eyes by covering them with palms (palming). If during the performance of any exercise the eyes began to hurt, you need to interrupt the gymnastics, do palming,rest and continue. All of these methods are aimed at relieving eye strain and improving vision. If you regularly do at least one exercise, there will undoubtedly be benefits.
