“The yogic approach to vision, its prevention and restoration is different from the orthodox one. If, according to modern medicine, vision depends on the lens, its transparency and elasticity, then yogis believe that vision depends to a large extent on the muscles that move the eye. By not using these muscles during the day, we are not training them enough, which leads to loss of vision. For example, if we need to look to the right, we turn our head instead of just squinting our eyes.

If you want to keep your eyesight healthy, use these muscles more often in everyday life. It is also necessary do gymnastics for the eyes… Closing your eyes, begin to write out the sign of infinity with your eyeballs, at the same time imagining this symbol in your imagination. Then look left, right, up, down, making the most of your eye muscles. Then close your eyes tightly, feeling the pressure on your eyes, and then open them sharply. This exercise helps to not only train the muscles, but also relax the mind. By straining the mind, we strain our eyes. By relaxing our eyes we can relax the mind… Such is the double dependence. “

“Among the adult population of Chelyabinsk, the most common pathologies are cataracts and glaucoma. The scourge of recent years is dry eye syndrome. Symptoms include irritation, dryness, redness of the eyes, gritty or foreign body sensation in the eyes.

He will prescribe the necessary examination and treatment for you. but do not self-medicate under any circumstancesbuying medicines without a doctor’s prescription. Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis.

Another common problem is the habitually excessive stress of accommodation. This condition is associated with tension in the ciliary muscle of the eye. Causes of the disease: eye strain, fatigue, the need to read a lot and, again, work at a computer, use tablets and other modern gadgets. For the diagnosis and treatment of this condition, of course, a specialist consultation is necessary. The doctor will conduct a full examination and prescribe an individual course of treatment.

Grated carrots in the eyes

«Ayurvedic remedies well help with eye diseases. Triphala is a very healthy plant for the eyes. With the help of cotton pads dipped in a decoction of this herb, you can cleanse the lacrimal glands, treat conjunctivitis. In addition, it is useful when taken orally for the overall health of the body. Everyone knows very well what effect ordinary carrots have on vision. But few people remember that relaxation is also important for recovery. At a seminar with a yoga therapist from India, we did masks from finely grated carrots and put on the eyes. At the same time, it was necessary to lie down and deeply relax.

Helps relax the muscles of the eyes and improve visual acuity exercise “palming”… Rub your palms so that they become hot and place them over your eyes without applying pressure. Sit in the dark with a black screen in front of you so that the colored spots floating in front of your closed eyelids do not distract you. It is better to do this exercise every hour, distracting from the computer. “

With the devil in my eyes

“Of course, lenses and glasses are a must in the life of every visually impaired person. You need to be able to select and use them correctly.… Now in Chelyabinsk you can buy a new generation of lenses – made of silicone hydrogel. They are more breathable than previous generation lenses – made from just hydrogel. Also, lenses from hypergel began to appear, which in terms of properties is closest to the human eye. Lenses vary in terms of wear. There are one-day lenses – they are needed for those who wear lenses once, for example, on a holiday, and the rest of the time wears glasses. Or he’s on vacation and doesn’t want to bother with containers and lens fluid. There are lenses that are designed for two weeks or a month.

Remember: if you have opened the packaging and put on the lens at least once, calculated for a month of wearing, then after a month you should throw it away, even if you have not used it. The lens accumulates lipid and protein deposits on itself, which create an environment for the development of bacteria, and also impede air permeability, as a result of which the eye does not breathe. This is very harmful to eyesight. Lenses must be removed at night – even if it is indicated on them that it is possible not to remove them. If you wear lenses, at home glasses should still be in place in an emergency, such as conjunctivitis. Then it is temporarily impossible to wear lenses. It cannot be said unequivocally which is better – glasses or lenses. Each case needs its own approach. You can also buy colored contact lenses from us – we can order the color you are interested in ”.
