Any person who notices a decrease in vision goes into a mild panic. Due to this situation, a number of new problems arise: which 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. They will write you a prescription for glasses and give you a complete list of medications that you must 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 does not start, but only begins to manifest itself. You just have to try, and the result will surely 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 and so on. An ophthalmologist will help to exclude the manifestation of dangerous diseases, without his consultation you should not undertake any independent treatment. In addition, with complex diseases, self-medication can be not only ineffective, but also dangerous. We recommend that you visit a doctor before using traditional medicine in order not to worsen the situation.
Why does vision deteriorate?
In order to achieve a quick result using the recipes of traditional medicine, you need to know what factors affect visual impairment. If you have this information, you can get rid of or weaken these diseases more effectively.
- Constant focusing on nearby objects. Reading books, watching TV, working for a long time at the computer does not strain the muscles. Because of this, the tone of the eye muscles deteriorates and vision begins to decline gradually.
- Natural aging of the retina. Unfortunately, over time, the retina of the eye loses its properties, and as a result, 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 the eyes to be in constant tension.
- Reading in transport. It greatly affects the normal functioning of the eyes. Vibrations that occur during travel negatively affect concentration. We strongly recommend that you stop reading books and newspapers on the subway, bus or train.
