Today, many people spend most of their working time at the computer.This requires maximum eye strain, which causes us to experience 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 proper rest for his eyes.Special eye exercises will help with this.
“The eyes work thanks to the muscles, and the muscles need to be trained,” says the ophthalmologist. “It is better to do eye movements in the morning or evening, before going to bed. Repeat each exercise 5-30 times, start small, gradually increase the load. The movements are smooth, without jerking, it is useful to blink between exercises. And do not forget to take off your glasses or contact lenses.”
7 best exercises to maintain, restore and improve vision:
Curtains
Blink quickly and easily for 2 minutes.Helps improve blood circulation.
Looking out the window
We make a dot from plasticine and sculpt it on glass.We select a distant object outside the window, look into the distance for a few seconds, then turn our gaze to the point.Later, you can complicate the load - focus on four objects at different distances.
Big eyes
We sit straight.Close your eyes tightly for 5 seconds, then open them wide.Repeat 8-10 times.Strengthens the muscles of the eyelids, improves blood circulation, and helps relax the eye muscles.
Massage
Using three fingers of each hand, lightly press 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 you can feel the hot water (without burning yourself!), then cold.Before going to bed, do everything in the reverse order: rinse with cold, then hot water.
Drawing a picture
First aid for your eyes is to close them for a few minutes and imagine something pleasant.And if you rub the palms of your hands and cover your eyes with warm palms, crossing your fingers in the middle of your forehead, the effect will be more noticeable.
“We shoot with our eyes” (as in the illustration)
- We look up and down with maximum amplitude.
- Draw a circle clockwise and back.
- We draw diagonals with our eyes.
- We draw a square with our eyes.
- The gaze follows an arc - convex and concave.
- We look around the diamond.
- We draw bows with our eyes.
- We draw the letter S - first in a horizontal position, then in a vertical position.
- We draw vertical arcs with our eyes, first clockwise, then counterclockwise.
- We move our gaze from one corner to another along the diagonals of the square.
- We bring the pupils to the bridge of the nose with all our might, bringing the finger closer to the nose.
- We blink our eyelids often, like a butterfly flaps its wings.
When working at a computer, you need to remember the following:
- after each exercise you should sit for a minute with your eyes closed;
- eye exercises when working on a computer are carried out 2 times a day at the same time;
- watch the movements - the amplitude should be maximum;
- When constantly working at a computer, take a short one-minute break every 40 minutes, or at least every hour.
