Nowadays, many people spend most of their working time on the computer.This requires maximum eye strain, causing 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 enough rest for their eyes.Special eye exercises help with this.
“The eyes work thanks to the muscles, and the muscles need to be trained,” says the ophthalmologist."It is better to perform the eye movements in the morning or in the evening before going to bed. Repeat each exercise 5 to 30 times, starting small and gradually increasing the load. The movements are gentle, without jerking, it is useful to blink between exercises. And do not forget to take off your glasses or contact lenses."
The 7 best exercises to maintain, restore and improve vision:
Curtains
Blink quickly and easily for 2 minutes.Helps improve blood circulation.
Look out the window
We make a dot from plasticine and sculpt it on glass.We select a distant object outside the window, look into the distance for a few seconds, and then focus our gaze on the point.Later you can make the load more difficult - concentrate on four objects at different distances.
Big eyes
We're sitting right now.Close your eyes tightly for 5 seconds and then open them wide.Repeat 8-10 times.Strengthens eyelid muscles, improves blood circulation and helps relax eye muscles.
massage
Use three fingers of each hand to lightly press the upper eyelids.After 1-2 seconds, remove your fingers from your eyelids.Repeat 3 times.Improves circulation of eye fluid.
Hydromassage
Rinse your eyes twice a day, morning and evening.In the morning you first feel the hot water (without burning yourself!), then the cold water.Before going to bed, do everything in reverse order: rinse first with cold water, then with 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 back.
- We draw diagonals with our eyes.
- We draw a square with our eyes.
- The view follows an arc – convex and concave.
- We look around the diamond.
- We draw arcs 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 along the diagonal of the square from one corner to the other.
- We bring the pupils to the bridge of the nose with all our might and bring the finger closer to the nose.
- We often blink our eyelids like a butterfly flaps its wings.
When working on a computer, you must pay attention to the following:
- After each exercise, you should sit with your eyes closed for a minute.
- Eye exercises when working at a computer are performed twice a day at the same time;
- Observe the movements - the amplitude should be maximum;
- If you work constantly at the computer, take a short break of one minute every 40 minutes, or at least every hour.
