Anyone who notices a decrease in vision falls into a mild panic. Due to this situation, a series of new problems are developing: what glasses to buy, whether they will spoil the image, how to get used to wearing them, whether new eye diseases will begin to develop. Of course, an eye doctor will help answer most of these questions. He will write you a prescription for glasses and give you a complete list of medications that you need to buy at the pharmacy. But in fact, each person can independently restore vision without resorting to expensive drugs and complex procedures, of course, if the disease is not triggered, but only begins to manifest itself. Just try, and the result will definitely be positive!
All eye diseases can be divided into two stages: the usual progressive deterioration of vision (the initial stage) and complex diseases, which include cataracts, glaucoma, dacryocystitis, hemophthalmia, astigmatism, etc. An ophthalmologist will help to exclude the manifestation of dangerous diseases; without his consultations, you should not undertake any independent treatment. Moreover, with complex diseases, self-medication can be not only ineffective, but also dangerous. We strongly advise you to consult your doctor before using traditional medicine, so as not to aggravate the situation.
Why vision deteriorates
In order to achieve a quick result through the use of traditional medicine recipes, you need to know what factors affect visual impairment. If you have this information, you can more effectively get rid of or weaken this disease.
- Constant focus on near objects. Reading books, watching TV, working at the computer for a long time does not tense the muscles. From there, the tone of the eye muscles deteriorates and vision begins to gradually decline.
- 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 constant eye strain.
- Reading in transport. It greatly affects the normal functioning of the eyes. The vibrations that appear during the trip have a negative effect on concentration. We strongly recommend that you stop reading books and newspapers on the subway, bus or train.

Diet to restore vision
Diet is one of the important points of the means of self-improvement. There are no strict restrictions here. Exceptionally healthy food is the main advantage. In order for the body to combat the decrease in vision on its own, it is necessary to provide it with all the substances necessary for the normal functioning of the eyes.

At first glance, there is nothing difficult about following this diet. You just need to put in a little effort and be more responsible for your health.
Gymnastics for the eyes
Among the many means of traditional medicine, a special place is occupied by ordinary gymnastics for the eyes. If infusions and decoctions need to be prepared in advance, kept at a certain temperature, exercises can be done anywhere and at any time. Whether you're on the bus or on a break, take 10 minutes for your health. After a few sessions of this therapy, you will definitely feel an improvement. Above all, 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 work well due to the normal work of the visual muscles. In order to keep them in a constant tone, you need to perform the following exercises:
- Blink.Without straining your eyes, blink lightly and quickly. This has a positive effect on blood circulation.
- Far, near.The following exercise is based on different focal points of vision. Imagine there is a dot on the window. Shift 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. 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 the upper lids 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 every day in the morning. Get into the habit of doing a contrast shower for your eyes every day. Start with hot water that doesn't burn 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 cold water.
- Imagine something cool.An emergency remedy to restore the eyes to their working capacity is to close your eyes and imagine something pleasant. The eyes relax and gradually return to normal.
- Draw pictures.Create a picture yourself and draw it around the edges, without focusing on real objects. Draw virtual lines up, down, sideways, perform circular movements.
In fact, regular eye exercises are much more effective than it first appears. Remember to do all the exercises daily.
If your eyes are tired from long-term computer work, you can also successfully apply them by unloading them during a hard day's work.

You need to spend less time in front of 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.
