Today many people spend a large part of their working time in front of the computer.This requires maximum eye strain, which makes us feel discomfort, dryness and fatigue.These seemingly minor symptoms are the first signs of vision deterioration.
Even if a person has 100% vision, he still needs adequate rest for his eyes.Special eye exercises will help with this.
"Eyes work thanks to muscles, and muscles must be trained," says the ophthalmologist."It is better to do eye movements in the morning or in the evening, before going to bed. Repeat each exercise 5-30 times, start small, gradually increase the load. The movements are smooth, without jerks, it is useful to blink between exercises. And don't forget to take off your glasses or contact lenses."
7 Best Exercises to Maintain, Restore and Improve Vision:
Curtains
Flashes quickly and easily for 2 minutes.Helps improve blood circulation.
Looking out the window
We make a dot from plasticine and sculpt it on the glass.We select a distant object outside the window, look into the distance for a few seconds, then direct our gaze to the point.Next, you can complicate the load: focus on four objects at different distances.
Big eyes
We sit up straight.Close your eyes tightly for 5 seconds, then open them wide.Repeat 8-10 times.Strengthens eyelid muscles, improves blood circulation and helps relax eye muscles.
Massage
Using three fingers of each hand, press lightly on the upper eyelids;after 1-2 seconds, remove your fingers from the eyelids.Repeat 3 times.Improves the circulation of intraocular fluid.
Hydromassage
Twice a day, morning and evening, rinse your eyes.In the morning: first feel the hot water (without burning yourself!), then the cold one.Before going to bed, do everything in the reverse order: rinse with cold, then warm water.
Draw a picture
First aid for your eyes is to close them for a few minutes and imagine something pleasant.And if you rub your palms and cover your eyes with warm palms, crossing your fingers in the center of your forehead, the effect will be more noticeable.
