Suggestions for Eyesight Improvement

by on Jun.20, 2010, under Vision and Eyecare

Most of teenagers become eye disorders since childhood. They abuse their eyes by reading or surfing on the internet or doing other things for extremely long time. I’m quite sure that eye disorders are caused by reading or writing improperly, regardless of forming a good habit of eye use.

People who have a small illness like catching a cold will go to see a doctor immediately while they will not notice to stop reading when their eyes feel tired. At the time when they have a tired heart, or a stomach, or a headache, they choose to lie in bed. After lying for a long time, reading books or watching TV become the best choice for killing time. This is a tragedy that their body will turn back to normal at the cost of eyesight going bad. Actually, eyes are reflection of the body. Many doctors diagnose patients by looking into their eyes. Pay more attention to your eyes, as it’s also quite fragile.

It seems extremely hard for those who read with the help of glasses, especially for those who wear glasses all the time, to do some eye improvements. There are some practicable suggestions for them to follow. Learn them by heart and form a good habit of eye use. There will sure be some rewards.

The most important point is simple. You just need to know when you should stop reading so as that your eyes can have a good rest. Even though you don’t suffer any eyes disorders. However, it’s also a little difficult. No one wants to stop his fantastic book in hand especially when reading to a wonderful section. In that case, you should learn to control yourself. I believe you can have a good grasp to the degree of eye use after do the eye use control for some time.

It’s known to all that poor postures result in bad eyesight. If you sit with your spine and head out of straight, your neck and muscles of the back must be strained, eyes will suffer as well. Not only the tiredness it causes, but also the circulation disorders it leads. Blood can’t go easily and smoothly through the vessels in the head and neck. Air can’t flow smoothly through nostrils, either. However, air and blood are very crucial for eyesight. Thus, keep a right posture and read to make sure the air and blood circulate in your body smoothly.

Common people read books with their eyes about twelve to fourteen inches away from books. But for myopia, it’s a little hard for them with their glasses out. They can hold the books a little closer than normal distance. If you persist in reading in this way, your eyesight is sure to be improved. On the contrary, hyperopia reads a little farther. A casual action will prove to be more fruitful than you can imagine. At the same time, make sure the pages are tilted outward, as it’s the most labor-saving posture for head and neck. It’s a recommendation that you buy an inclined reading table which can make the books at the right height and angle. With the table, your body will work well even when you decide to read a little long.

Make your effort on the trivia, and you’ll succeed in taking glasses off.

Eight Exercises to Improve Eyesight

by on May.22, 2010, under Vision and Eyecare

Many bemoan the fact that as we age our eyesight becomes poorer, but few relate this to the simple truth the eye is supported by muscles just like any other part of the body. If you do not keep them in shape they will become weaker; the muscles will lose their tone and become rigid, causing decreased elasticity in the eye which can lead to sight loss. Exercising your eyes regularly will keep them healthy and relieve eyestrain.

The increase in computer-related jobs and free time spent online has also added to many eye problems, which can be greatly aided by keeping your eyes refreshed and exercised. Eye exercises are physical therapy not just for the eye, but also the brain, due to the optic nerve which connects them both. Relieving eye tension will also ease up on your brain strain, in turn, relaxing your entire body.

The ciliary muscles of the eye tense up when we focus on nearby objects, and relax when we focus further away. Below are some exercises you can practice to not only keep your eyes healthy as you grow older, but may also improve poor vision for those already relying upon contacts or eyeglasses.

1. Sit in a chair, posture erect, spine straight, body relaxed. Keeping your body motionless while moving only your eyes, find a point you can focus on in front of you without straining and move your eyes from your lap, to this point, and back again. Repeat five times.

2. Close your eyes, placing your hands tightly over each eye so that no light gets in. The heels of your palms should rest upon your cheekbones. Breathe deeply. This relieves eye tension and strain and is very relaxing. Practice for three to five minutes.

3. Move eyes slowly upwards as far as you can, then downwards. Repeat five times. Blink rapidly to relax the eye muscles. Repeat this exercise, only now moving your eyes slowly from left to right and back again.

4. Gently squeeze eyes shut for three seconds, then open them and repeat five times. This is an excellent exercise to relieve computer strain on the eyes by stimulating the tear ducts.

5. Hold an object in front of you at arm’s length, waving it slowly back and forth in a figure eight while following it with your eyes. Do this for approximately 10-15 seconds. This helps stimulate the nutrient flow within the eye while improving eye coordination.

6. This exercise helps strengthen the iris and is best done at night, in front of a bright lamp. With no other lights on in the room, sit in a comfortable position facing the lamp with your eyes closed, switching the lamp on and off in time to your slow, relaxed breathing.

7. Focus on a small object at arm’s length, such as a pencil, inhale, then move it slowly in to touch the tip of your nose. Exhale, keeping your eyes on the pencil and move it slowly back out again. Repeat three times.

8. This is a fabulous method to relieve eye tension for those working in offices with access to windows. Focus on a distant object outside for eight seconds then slowly refocus your eyes on an object close at hand. Repeat three times, and often during the day, at least once per hour.
