Why vision deteriorates: how not to spoil vision expert advice
It turns out that even Botox injections can impair vision clarity.
As a rule, vision does not deteriorate instantly – it can deteriorate (or retain) our daily habits for years. What should someone do who does not like to wait long and wants to try on glasses with large diopters as soon as possible? 10 harmful tips will help you achieve this goal in the shortest possible time. And if you still want to preserve clear vision, you just need to break them!
Artificial eyelashes are attached to real ones using special glue. In the event of a master’s mistake, it can get into the eyes and harm the cornea. Even if everything is done correctly, an allergic reaction to such a procedure is also not uncommon, it manifests itself in the form of such unpleasant diseases as blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) and conjunctivitis.
A balanced and vitamin-rich diet is important for the entire body, and the eyes are no exception. Proper nutrition is important for maintaining vision. Your diet must necessarily contain vitamin A (a shortage can lead to a violation of color perception), vitamin C (this element is responsible for the strength of the structure of the eye tissue), anthocyanins (help to strengthen the walls of the blood vessels of the retina).
3. Do botox in the eyebrow area
Botulinum toxin injection paralyzes the muscle into which it is injected, which smoothes wrinkles. But if the master makes a mistake with the injection site or chooses the wrong dosage, muscle paresis may occur, which immobilizes the eyelid. In this case, the following consequences are possible: double vision (diplopia), drooping of the upper eyelid (blepharoptosis), dry eyes and corneal inflammation (keratitis).
Firstly, because of the shaking of the carriage or bus, the eye cannot focus properly on the text, which creates additional stress. Secondly, the lighting in the metro and bus leaves much to be desired. And for vision, both too strong a contrast (for example, when we look at a bright screen against a dark background) and too weak (when we read a paper book in dim light) are harmful. When it comes to reading from a phone or tablet screen, the harmful effect is enhanced by the blue-violet radiation spectrum, which is dangerous for eyes. Specialty lenses for glasses (such as the Crizal Prevencia) can handle this problem, but even they will not solve the issue of focusing on a shaking book or gadget.
5. Postpone the visit to the ophthalmologist
Eyesight checks are necessary every year, even if nothing bothers you. For people with myopia and hyperopia, it is especially important to change lenses to more suitable ones in case of changes. Correct correction helps prevent further visual impairment.
6. Do not do eye exercises
Just like the body, the muscles of the eyes need gymnastics. Especially during prolonged work at the computer, in which it is so important to relieve stress from the eyes. According to statistics, three out of four people experience visual fatigue syndrome due to the use of electronic devices. However, this problem is easy to avoid, because the complex of exercises for the eyes takes no more than 20 minutes.
In a state of continuous nervous tension, blood pressure rises and the heart rate increases, and this is a blow to the vascular system of the eye. Tunnel vision syndrome (in which a person loses peripheral vision), myokimia (known as “nervous tics”), headache and dry eyes can occur due to its disturbances.
8. Spend a lot of time indoors with dry air
In the cold season, the heating system dries out the indoor air, and with it the skin and mucous membrane of the eye. To prevent this from happening, you can place a humidifier at home and at work. The aquarium is also a great way to increase the humidity in the air.
9. Neglect sun protection
Most people know that their eyes need protection from the sun in summer, but they are often forgotten in winter and cloudy weather. However, the sun emits ultraviolet light all year round, and in winter its rays are also reflected from the snow. Therefore, the eyes should always be protected by sunglasses or photochromic glasses. The latter are appropriate at any time of the year and anywhere. The degree of lens shading varies with the light: these glasses are transparent indoors and darken when exposed to sunlight. Photochromic lenses can be made with diopters, which allows them to simultaneously correct vision and protect the eyes from the sun.
10. Wear glasses with poor quality or inappropriate lenses
The main thing in glasses is lenses, because the health of our eyes depends on them. Improper vision correction leads to overexertion of the eye muscles, which can impair vision. Low-quality lenses are also harmful: for example, under cheap sunglasses with tinted lenses without a protective factor, the pupil expands and even more UV rays enter it. Modern lenses are lightweight and durable, making them more comfortable and durable, and preventing injury from falls. And the lenses can be made with multi-coating, which protects against dirt, dust, water drops, mechanical damage and ultraviolet radiation.
