Everyone who notices a decrease in vision will panic a little. Due to this situation, a series of new problems are increasing: 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 answer most of these questions. He will write you a prescription for glasses and give you a complete list of medicines that you need to buy at the pharmacy. But in fact, everyone can restore vision independently without the use of expensive drugs and complex procedures, of course, if the disease did not start, but only began to manifest. One just has to try, and the result will definitely be positive!
All eye diseases can be divided into two stages: gradual deterioration of vision (initial stage) and complex diseases, which include cataracts, glaucoma, dacryocystitis, hemophthalmia, astigmatism, etc. Ophthalmologists will help to exclude manifestations of dangerous diseases; without his consultation, you cannot do any independent treatment. In addition, with 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?
To achieve quick results from the use of traditional medicine recipes, you need to know the factors that affect visual impairment. If you have this information, you can get rid of or weaken the disease more effectively.
- Continuous focus on nearby objects. Reading books, watching TV, working on the computer for a long time does not make the muscles tense. From here, the tone of the eye muscles deteriorates and vision begins to gradually fall.
- Natural aging of the retina. Unfortunately, over time, the retina of the eye loses its properties and from this vision begins to deteriorate. If you want to slow down this process, eat more vegetables and fruits, which contain a large amount of vitamins.
- Bright or insufficient lighting causes eye strain.
- Reading in transport. It greatly affects the normal function of the eyes. Vibrations that appear during the trip have a negative effect on concentration. We strongly recommend that you stop reading books and newspapers on the subway, bus or train.

Gymnastics for the eyes
A special place among the various methods of traditional medicine is occupied by ordinary gymnastics for the eyes.

Whether you're on the bus or taking a break, take 10 minutes for your health. After a few sessions of this therapy, you will definitely feel an improvement. Most importantly, be sure to remove your glasses or contact lenses - therapeutic exercises should be done in a natural environment for the eyes.
It is noted that the eyes work well due to the normal work of the visual muscles. To maintain a constant tone, you must do the following exercises:
- Blink.Without straining your eyes, blink slowly and quickly. This has a positive effect on blood circulation.
- Far, near.The following exercises are based on different vision focuses. Imagine there is a dot in the window. Shift your gaze from her to the scene outside the window. Then look out the window again. Do this several times.
- Pinch open.Close your eyes tightly for 6-7 seconds. and then wide open. Do this at least 10 times. Stimulate blood circulation, strengthen eye muscles.

- Cold and hot shower- Do it every day in the morning. Make it a habit to do a contrast bath for your eyes every day. Start with hot water that is not too scalding. Rinse your face, paying special attention to your eyes. Then repeat the same thing with cold water. It is recommended to finish the water procedure with cold water.

In fact, regular eye exercises are more effective than it seems at first glance. Do not forget to do all the exercises every day.
