Treatment of vision impairment

The eye is one of the most important analyzers that perceives, processes the signal from the visual receptor. The end result is a visual image. But sometimes in the work of the visual system there are various failures, there are diseases, resulting in a deterioration in vision.

There are many reasons for this pathology. It can also manifest in different ways. Vision can deteriorate gradually or abruptly, temporarily or permanently. At any slight deviation from the norm, you should immediately consult a doctor, as this may be a sign of serious illness. If diagnosed at an early stage, treatment will be much more effective.

How to stop the deterioration of vision?

To stop the deterioration of vision is possible only with careful observance of the hygiene of vision. During work on the computer, it is recommended to take small breaks every hour, every 5-10 minutes, during which it is necessary to perform exercises for the eyes.

Whatever appointments the doctor has made, you yourself still need to do gymnastics for the eyes, because it helps improve blood circulation, leads to muscle tone.

You also need to periodically give the eyes the opportunity to relax. This implies the need to exclude the computer for several hours. Even watching a movie is extremely undesirable, because it creates the same hard work for the eye, as well as working at the computer. It is better to do active rest, in which the eyes are involved minimally. For rest of the eyes it is recommended to clean or walk. You can listen to music, go to a cafe with friends.

If there are any pictures, colors, circles, mentally obscure them, dissolve. We try to merge, level all the tones in a single black canvas.

After that, slowly rise with closed eyes, sit on your knees. We rub our hands in the palms, cover or eyes. Put your hands together so that the light does not penetrate your fingers.

Ayurvedic treatment of vision impairment

If we proceed from the point of view of Ayurveda, the eastern science of maintaining health, man is part of the universe, and consists of the trinity: "matter is soul-spirit." These three substances must be maintained in harmony. This is the key to getting rid of all diseases.

All diseases occur at the level of the physical body. They arise when there is an imbalance in the energy body. If we achieve harmony in the energy plan, the disease will stop bothering the person. The energy balance is based on the movement of prana - the life force through the channels (meridians) of the body. If the course of prana is broken, a disease occurs.

There are many methods aimed at restoring the normal course of prana in the body. Pranayama, a complex of breathing exercises, used in hatha yoga and yoga therapy, has proven itself well. Complexes can be found on special sites. There are many types of training, lessons that allow you to train yourself at home.

Then it is necessary to perform breathing exercises for several minutes, which will help to normalize the prana current in the body, adjust the body to practice, activate breathing and saturate the body with oxygen and nutrients.

After a breathing, it is advisable to start contemplating a candle. It is necessary to look at the suppository directly, without looking away. You can not blink while doing this (or do it as rarely as possible). The view is focused clearly on the center of the candle, trying to peer into the flame. If the eyes start to water, this is good. This indicates that the lacrimal gland began its work, the eye is sufficiently moistened, respectively, its function is restored.

After the end of the exercise, it is advisable to perform a relaxing exercise, for example, lying down for a while in the "Shavasan" pose.

Ayurveda uses sound therapy. For example, treatment of certain melodies, sounds of nature, the voices of animals. Positively influenced by classical music. There is a specially developed therapeutic music aimed at treating certain diseases. Words also have healing effects. Sounds, their combinations, mantras contribute to the development of a certain vibration first with the help of vocal cords. Gradually, these vibrations cause the body to vibrate at a different frequency, which corresponds to the state of health, resulting in the body recovering.

Treats singing, rhythmic speech, rhythmotherapy, and even letters of the alphabet, numbers pronounced in a certain sequence. Today, mantra yoga, anthra-meditation, which is based on the healing effects of sounds on the body, is becoming increasingly popular.

Homeopathic remedies are effective in the treatment of eye diseases, to restore lost vision. It is necessary to maintain precautionary measures: use drugs only after consulting a doctor, since they can have numerous side effects. For example, with the wrong combination of certain drugs, vision can only get worse. It should also be remembered that many homeopathic medicines have accumulative effects, which means that they will have a major effect only after a certain amount of active substance has accumulated in the body.

Often they start to act only after the full course is over. Accordingly, there is no need to expect a quick effect from them. However, the advantage is that such drugs last long enough to maintain normal vision.

Surgical treatment, operations

Operative methods of treatment are applied in the event that conservative ones are ineffective.

Some diseases, for example, cataract, are treated only surgically, by completely replacing the damaged lens. With the help of surgery, problems with the vessels can be solved. Tumors are also always treated only promptly, by removing them. Detachment and rupture of the retina can be eliminated by the laser welding method.

Today, laser sight correction methods are increasingly being used, as they are safer, less traumatic. The recovery period after such operations is quite short. There are also effective methods in which laser beams and mechanical keratoplasty are used. With the help of keratoma it is possible to produce a detachment of the corneal flap. Then the profile is corrected by means of the laser. As a result, the cornea becomes thinner, and the flap is soldered to the spot by a laser.

Using a laser also corrects eye aberrations. The operation is carried out by means of rubbing the corneal epithelium with alcohol and further processing with a laser.
