Myopia
And now, in detail the short-sightedness. This is the most common defect of vision, complicated forms which are probably the main cause of disability in people of working age.
Vision provides us with up to 90% of information about the world. Loss of view – an irreparable loss, and it is understandable why so many medical professionals are paying attention to prevention of visual impairment, preserve and restore it. And here the place will notice that we do not too take care my eyes, and yet this wonderful gift of nature do not remain the same throughout our lives.
Over the past few years in our country, as well as in other highly developed countries, there is an increase in the frequency of myopia among young adults. Scientists of the Moscow Research Institute of Eye Diseases. Helmholtz identify the following main factors leading to the development of myopia:
1) a hereditary predisposition;
2) work hard at a short distance with weakened accommodation;
3) weakening of the eye sclera.
A number of experts suggest measures for prevention of myopia. For example, it is recommended hygiene of view (especially students), paying appropriate attention to the organization of physical education students and all young people.
Honored Scientist Professor ES Avetisov believes that myopia is usually accompanied by loss of blood supply the accommodation muscles. As the progression of it, this violation increases. Therefore, to begin to deal with short-sightedness need as soon as possible, then be able to suspend its development. To this end, Professor ES Avetisov recommends performing special exercises for the accommodative (ciliary) muscles. He developed exercises with lenses without them. Exercises with lenses performed in a doctor’s office, an ophthalmologist. However, do not always have the opportunity to visit a specialist, so the ES was proposed Avetisov exercises for the eyes, designed for independent execution.
It consists of the following: to the eye closer to any small object up until you stop it clearly distinguished. Then push out the object and again closer to the eye. For convenience, ES Avetisov proposes to make the following simple device: cut a piece of cardboard in the form of bats (20 X 10 cm), then at her arm to make a horizontal slit and paste it line length of 50 – 60 cm (bat will move on it). After that, you want to cut out magazine letter “C”, which reaches to 2 mm. Exercising should be done alternately to each eye. District line to set a one of them (the other eye is closed bandage). Hold the line with his left hand and right slowly to bat an eye while glued to her letter “C” will not like the letter “O” (those who wear glasses, carry out an exercise in them), then push out the racket from the eye until until the letter “C” will not be clearly visible. Exercise for 15 minutes.
