When eyesight deteriorates, some problems arise in everyday life. In contrast to congenital visual impairment, the deterioration of vision can be caused and aggravated by various factors. In most cases, a poor diet, health problems or environmental pollution are the cause of visual impairment.
Sight can be promoted and improved, here are some tips.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The obvious measure is to change or fortify your diet. Foods that contain a lot of natural vitamin A should be included in the diet. These include carrots, tomatoes, spinach and beetroot. Potatoes and cucumbers counteract a deterioration in eyesight.<\/p>\n
The vitamin-rich foods can also do a lot of good for the eyes when applied externally. After a strenuous day for the eyes, a few fresh slices of cucumber or potato placed on the closed eyes for about 10 minutes can help. This revitalises the eyes.<\/p>\n
Dry eyes should be prevented as far as possible. In a dry environment or after hours of staring at screens, the eyes can feel uncomfortably dry. Eye drops (artificial tears) provide sufficient fluid in the eye.<\/p>\n
Drink plenty of water. Water keeps the body cells and therefore also the eyes well moisturised and flushes toxins out of the body. Drinking plenty of water helps your eyes to stay healthy.<\/p>\n
Eye exercises can significantly improve your vision. For the eye exercises, sit on a comfortable chair and cover your eyes with pleasantly warm hands. No light should shine between your fingers so that your eyes are in complete darkness. Consciously visualise a deep black and concentrate on it. Meanwhile, breathe slowly and relaxed. Now imagine a smiling face on the black background without losing the black colour. Once you have managed to see the face and the black background at the same time, take your hands away from your eyes. Repeat this exercise five times.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now close your eyes and massage them gently with your fingertips in circular movements for about a minute without applying too much pressure. Then open your eyes and roll them clockwise and anti-clockwise a few times. Blink regularly. Repeat this exercise at least five times.<\/p>\n
Now sit a few centimetres away from the window. Mark the window with a small dot at eye level. Look past this dot into the distance and focus on an object in the background. Look at this object for about 15 seconds and then focus your eyes on the dot on the window. Repeat for about 10 seconds.<\/p>\n
