Any person who notices a decrease in vision begins to panic slightly. Due to this situation, a number of new problems are growing: what glasses to buy, whether they will spoil the image, how to get used to wearing them, whether new eye diseases will develop. Of course, an ophthalmologist will help answer most of these questions. He will write you a prescription for glasses and give you a complete list of medicines to buy at the pharmacy. However, in fact, any person can independently restore vision, without resorting to expensive drugs and complex procedures, of course, if the disease has not started, but is only just beginning to manifest itself. You just have to try, and the result will definitely be positive!
All eye diseases can be divided into two stages: the usual gradual deterioration in vision (initial stage) and complex diseases, which include cataracts, glaucoma, dacryocystitis, hemophthalmia, astigmatism, etc. An ophthalmologist will help to exclude the manifestation of dangerous ailments, without his advice you should not conduct independent treatment. In addition, for complex diseases, self-medication can be not only ineffective, but also dangerous. We strongly advise you to consult your doctor before using traditional medicine, so as not to aggravate the situation.
Why eyesight deteriorates
In order to get a quick result when using recipes of traditional medicine, you need to know what factors affect visual impairment. Possessing this information, you can more effectively get rid of or mitigate this disease.
- Continuous focus on nearby objects. Reading books, watching TV, working at the computer for a long time does not tense the muscles. As a result, the tone of the eye muscles worsens, and vision gradually begins to decline.
- Natural aging of the retina. Unfortunately, over time, the retina of the eye loses its properties and begins to deteriorate from this vision. If you want to slow down this process, eat more vegetables and fruits, which contain a large amount of vitamins.
- Bright or insufficient lighting leads to constant straining of the eyes.
- reading in traffic. It severely affects the normal functioning of the eyes. The vibration that occurs while driving has a negative effect on concentration. We strongly recommend that you stop reading books and newspapers on the subway, bus or train.

Diet to restore vision
One of the most important points of self-improvement tools is nutrition. There are no strict restrictions here. Exceptionally healthy food is the main benefit. In order for the body to be able to fight the visual impairment itself, it is necessary to provide it with all the substances necessary for the normal functioning of the eyes.
The main composition of the products that must be consumed by those who want to restore vision (it is very effective to follow such a diet during treatment with pharmaceutical preparations prescribed by a doctor):
- Carrots, broccoli, sea fish, all vegetables and fruits.
- Try not to eat a lot of salty, smoked and spicy fatty foods.
At first glance, following this diet is not difficult. You just need to make a little effort and take more responsibility for your health.
Gymnastics for the eyes
Ordinary eye gymnastics occupies a special place among the numerous means of traditional medicine. If infusions and decoctions need to be prepared in advance and kept at a certain temperature, the exercises can be done anytime, anywhere. Whether on the bus or during a break, take 10 minutes to take care of your health. After a few sessions of this therapy, you will definitely feel an improvement. First of all, remove your glasses or contact lenses - therapeutic exercises should take place in a natural environment for the eyes.
It is noted that the eyes function well due to the normal work of the visual muscles. To keep them in a constant tone, you need to perform the following exercises:
- Flash.Blink easily and quickly without straining your eyes. This has a positive effect on blood circulation.
- Far, near.The following exercise is based on a different focusing of vision. Imagine that there is a point on the window. From there, move your gaze to the view outside the window. Then look back at the window. Do this several times.
- pinch-open.Close your eyes tightly for 6-7 seconds. and then open wide. Do this at least 10 times. Stimulates blood circulation, strengthens the eye muscles.
- pressure on the eyelid.With three fingers of both hands, press the upper eyelids of the eyes. Without using much force, hold it for 2-3 seconds and release your fingers. This massage is very beneficial for the circulation of the eye fluid.
- Cold and hot shower- Do it daily in the morning. Make it a habit to do a contrast douche for your eyes every day. Start with hot water that isn't too scalding. Rinse your face, paying special attention to your eyes. Then repeat the same with cold water. It is recommended to finish the water treatments with cold water.
- Imagine something beautiful.A last resort to get your eyes working again is to close your eyes and imagine something pleasant. The eyes relax from this and gradually return to normal.
- Draw pictures.Think of an image yourself and sketch it around the edges without focusing on real objects. Draw virtual lines up, down, sideways, make circular movements.
In fact, regular eye exercises are much more effective than it might appear at first glance. Don't forget to do all exercises daily.
If your eyes are tired from long work at the computer, you can also successfully use them, relieving them during a hard day's work.

You need to spend less time on the computer (or take regular breaks), eat more natural products, lead a healthy lifestyle, give up bad habits, work, read or write only with proper lighting.
