Currently, ophthalmologists have developed many methods to improve visual skills.How effective is eye gymnastics?The exercises to restore the vision will show the result only if they are performed regularly and combined with other therapy methods.
Every second resident has visual impairment.You can completely restore the visual function only with the help of the laser correction.
Experts distinguish two types of myopia: false and real.With false myopia, the deterioration of visual skills occurs following a spasm of accommodation.Very often, the spasm of the muscles of the eyes during childhood and adolescence is observed, as well as in people who experience a prolonged bag on the eyes.If you identify a pathology in an initial phase, visual gymnastics will really help restore visual function.
With the real myopia, the drop in vision does not occur due to the spasm of accommodation, but due to the growth of the eyeball.In this case, the exercises are unable to return a normal vision.However, this does not mean they are useless.
The eyes for the eyes will aim to alleviate the overload, to improve the microcirculation processes of the blood and metabolism in the eye bulbs, which will allow not to return the clarity of the vision, but to avoid the progression of the disease.
