Anyone who notices a decrease in vision falls into a slight panic. Due to this situation, a number of new problems are growing: 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 medications that he needs 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 does not start, but only begins 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 (the initial stage) and complex diseases, which include cataracts, glaucoma, dacryocystitis, hemophthalmia, astigmatism, etc. An ophthalmologist will help to exclude the manifestation of dangerous ailments, without his consultation you should not carry out any independent treatment. Also, with complex diseases, self-medication can be not only ineffective, but also dangerous. We strongly recommend that you visit your doctor before using traditional medicine, so as not to aggravate the situation.
Why does vision deteriorate?
In order to achieve a quick result from the use of traditional medicine recipes, you need to know what factors affect visual impairment. If you have this information, you can more effectively get rid of or weaken this ailment.
- Constant focus on nearby objects. Reading books, watching TV, working on the computer for a long time does not strain the muscles. From this, the tone of the eye muscles deteriorates, and vision begins to gradually decrease.
- Natural aging of the retina. Unfortunately, over time, the retina of the eye loses its properties and from then on vision begins to deteriorate. If you want to slow down this process, eat more vegetables and fruits, which contain a large number 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. The vibration that appears during the trip 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 vision
One of the important points of the means of self-improvement is diet. There are no strict restrictions here. Exceptionally healthy food is the main plus.

At first glance, there is nothing difficult about following this diet. You just need to make a little effort and be more responsible with your health.
gymnastics for the eyes
A special place among the numerous means of traditional medicine is occupied by ordinary gymnastics for the eyes. If infusions and decoctions need to be prepared in advance, kept at a certain temperature, exercises can be performed anywhere and at any time. 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 any glasses or contact lenses - therapeutic exercises should be performed in a natural environment for the eyes.
It is noted that the eyes function well due to the normal work of the visual muscles. To keep them in constant pitch, you should perform the following exercises:
- To blink.Without straining your eyes, blink lightly and quickly. This has a positive effect on blood circulation.
- Far near.The following exercise is based on different approaches to vision. Imagine that there is a point in the window. Move your gaze from there to the view outside the window. Then look at the window again. Do this several times.
- Pinch-open.Close your eyes tightly for 6-7 seconds. and then open wide. Do this at least 10 times. Stimulates blood circulation, strengthens the eye muscles.

- hot and cold shower- Do it every day in the morning. Get in the habit of doing a contrast shower for your eyes every day. Start with hot water that doesn't burn 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 cold water.
- Imagine something nice.An emergency remedy for the eyes to return to working capacity is to close your eyes and imagine something pleasant. The eyes relax and gradually return to normal.
