In the modern world, more and more people are faced with eye overstrain due to the constant use of gadgets and long-term work at the computer. About whether it is possible to improve vision and relieve fatigue with the help of gymnastics for the eyes, an ophthalmologist, a practicing ophthalmic surgeon of the center of vision restoration in the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Vitaly Ivanov, in an interview with IA EaMedia.
According to the expert, Eye gymnastics is very useful, especially if you take into account how much time a modern person spends on computers and gadgets.
“When a person was formed as a species, vision was necessary in order to look into the distance. Examination of objects nearby – this is rather a temporary function. Therefore, it is normal when we look into the distance – our eyes are relaxed. And in order to consider something close, the inner muscle of the eye strains. It's how to raise your hands to the sides. It seems not difficult, but try to sit with your hands arranged to the sides for several hours – you will want to shake, knead your hands. So with the eyes, ”the doctor explains.
Therefore, exercises and gymnastics for the eyes are really useful – they help to “knead” tired muscles and relieve visual tension. This is especially true for office employees, students and everyone who spends a lot of time in front of the screen.
However, as Ivanov notes, You can improve already reduced vision with gymnastics in only one case – if the deterioration is caused by spasm of accommodation. This is a condition in which the eye muscles are in constant tension and lose the ability to focus correctly. However, only a doctor ophthalmologist can diagnose it.
Thus, eye gymnastics is an effective way to maintain the health of the eyes in conditions of high visual stress. It helps relieve fatigue, reduce stress and serves as good prevention. However With visual impairment, it is important not to postpone the visit to the ophthalmologist And do not self -medicate.
