Any person who notices a decrease in vision goes into a slight panic. Due to this situation, a number of new problems arise: 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 ophthalmologist will help you answer most of these questions. He will write you a prescription for glasses and give you a complete list of medicines 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 has not started, but is just beginning to manifest itself. One only has to try and the result will definitely be positive!
All eye diseases can be divided into two stages: the usual gradual deterioration of vision (initial stage) and complex diseases, which include cataracts, glaucoma, dacryocystitis, hemophthalmia, astigmatism, etc. The ophthalmologist will help to exclude the manifestation of dangerous diseases, without his consultation you should not undertake self-treatment. In addition, in complex diseases, self-medication can be not only ineffective, but also dangerous. We strongly advise you to visit your doctor before using traditional medicine so as not to worsen the situation.
Why does vision deteriorate?
In order to achieve a quick result from the use of recipes from traditional medicine, 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 nearby objects. Reading books, watching TV, prolonged work on the computer does not strain the muscles. As a result, 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 because of this, vision begins to deteriorate. If you want to slow down this process, eat more vegetables and fruits that contain a large amount of vitamins.
- Bright or insufficient lighting causes the eyes to be in constant tension.
- Reading in transport. This greatly affects the normal functioning of the eyes. The vibration that occurs during travel has a negative effect on concentration. We strongly recommend that you stop reading books and newspapers on the subway, bus or train.

Diet to restore sight
One of the important points of self-cultivation means is diet. There are no strict restrictions here. Extremely healthy food is the main advantage. In order for the body to fight the loss of vision on its own, it is necessary to provide it with all the substances necessary for the normal functioning of the eyes.
The main composition of products that should be consumed by those who want to restore vision (it is very effective to follow such a diet during treatment with pharmaceutical preparations prescribed by a doctor):
- Carrots, broccoli, sea fish, all vegetables and fruits.

At first glance, there is nothing difficult in following this diet. You just need to make a little effort and be more responsible for your health.
Gymnastics for the eyes
A special place among the numerous means of traditional medicine is occupied by simple gymnastics for the eyes. If infusions and decoctions must be prepared in advance, maintained at a certain temperature, then the exercises can be done anywhere and at any time. Whether you're on the bus or resting, take 10 minutes for your health. After a few sessions of this therapy, you will definitely feel an improvement. The most important thing is to take off your glasses or contact lenses - the healing exercises should take place in a natural environment for the eyes.
It is noticed that the eyes function well due to the normal work of the visual muscles. To keep them in constant tone, you should perform the following exercises:
- Blink.Without straining your eyes, blink gently and quickly. This has a positive effect on blood circulation.
- Far, near.The following exercise is based on a different focus of vision. Imagine there is a dot on the window. Move your gaze from him to the view outside the window. Then look at the window again. Do this several times.
- Open with a pinch.Close your eyes tightly for 6-7 seconds. and then opens wide. Do this at least 10 times. Stimulates blood circulation, strengthens eye muscles.
- Pressure on eyelid.With three fingers of both hands, press the upper eyelids of the eyes. Without applying much force, hold it for 2-3 seconds and relax your fingers. This massage is very beneficial for the circulation of intraocular fluid.
- Cold and hot shower- Do it every morning. Make it a habit to do a contrast shower for your eyes every day. Start with hot water that doesn't steam too much. Rinse your face, paying special attention to your eyes. Then repeat the same with cold water. It is recommended to finish the water procedures with lukewarm water.
- Imagine something nice.An emergency remedy to restore the working capacity of the eyes is to close your eyes and imagine something pleasant. The eyes relax from this and gradually return to normal.
- Draw pictures.Make up some image yourself and outline it around the edges without focusing on real objects. Draw virtual lines up, down, sideways, make circular movements.
In fact, regular eye exercises are much more effective than it might seem at first glance. Be sure to do all the exercises every day.
If your eyes are tired from prolonged work in front of the computer, you can also successfully apply them by unloading during a hard working day.
In conclusion, I would like to note that following the simplest rules will help you not to worry about visual impairment until old age. You should 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 appropriate lighting.
