Today, many people spend most of their working time in front of the computer.This requires maximum eye strain, which causes us discomfort, dryness and fatigue.These seemingly minor symptoms are the first signs of vision deterioration.
Even if a person has 100% vision, they still need adequate rest for their eyes.Special eye exercises will help with this.
“The eyes work thanks to the muscles, and you have to train the muscles,” explains 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 jerks, 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 your eyes quickly and easily for 2 minutes.Helps improve blood circulation.
Looking out the window
We make a point out of plasticine and sculpt it on glass.We select a distant object outside the window, look into the distance for a few seconds, then return our gaze to the point.Later you can complicate the charge - focus on four objects at different distances.
Big eyes
We sit up straight.Close your eyes tightly for 5 seconds, then open them wide.Repeat 8 to 10 times.Strengthens eyelid muscles, improves blood circulation and helps relax eye muscles.
Massage
Using three fingers on each hand, lightly press the upper eyelids;after 1-2 seconds, remove your fingers from the eyelids.Repeat 3 times.Improves circulation of intraocular fluid.
Hydromassage
Twice a day, morning and evening, rinse your eyes.In the morning, you can feel the hot water first (without burning yourself!), then the cold water.Before going to bed, do everything in reverse order: rinse with cold, then hot water.
Draw a picture
First aid for your eyes is to close them for a few minutes and imagine something pleasant.And if you rub your palms 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 backwards.
- 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 shoot 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 the other along the diagonals of the square.
- We bring the pupils towards the bridge of the nose with all our might, bringing the finger closer to the nose.
- We blink often, like a butterfly flaps its wings.
When working on a computer, you should remember the following:
- after each exercise you need to sit for a minute with your eyes closed;
- eye exercises when working on a computer are performed 2 times a day at the same time;
- watch the movements - the amplitude should be maximum;
- When you are constantly working on a computer, take a short one-minute break every 40 minutes, or at least every hour.
