Today, many people spend most of their working time at the computer.This requires maximum eye strain, which causes us to experience discomfort, dryness and fatigue.These seemingly minor symptoms are the first signs of deteriorating vision.
Even if a person has 100% vision, he still needs proper rest for his eyes.Special eye exercises will help with this.
"The eyes work thanks to the muscles and the muscles must be trained", says the ophthalmologist."It is better to do eye movements in the morning or in the evening, before going to bed. Repeat each exercise 5-30 times, start small, gradually increase the load. The movements are soft, without jerking, it is useful to close the glasses between exercises. And do not forget to remove glasses or contact lenses."
The 7 best exercises to maintain, restore and improve eyesight:
curtains
Blink quickly and easily for 2 minutes.It helps improve blood circulation.
Looking out the window
We make a dot from plasticine and sculpt it on the glass.We choose a distant object outside the window, look into the distance for a few seconds, then return our gaze to the point.Later, you can complicate the load - focus on four objects at different distances.
Big eyes
We sit up straight.Close your eyes tightly for 5 seconds, then open them wide.Repeat 8-10 times.It strengthens the muscles of the eyelids, improves blood circulation and helps to relax the eye muscles.
Massage
Using three fingers of each hand, lightly press the upper eyelids;after 1-2 seconds, remove your fingers from the eyelids.Repeat 3 times.Improves intraocular fluid circulation.
Hydromassage
Twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, rinse your eyes.In the morning - first you can feel the hot water (without burning yourself!), then cold.Before going to bed, do everything in the opposite way: rinse with cold and then hot water.
Drawing a picture
The first aid for your eyes is to close them for a few minutes and imagine something pleasant.And if you rub your palms and cover your eyes with warm palms, crossing your fingers in the middle of the forehead, the effect will be more noticeable.

- We draw the letter S - first in a horizontal position, then in a vertical position.
- We draw vertical arcs with our eyes, first clockwise, then counterclockwise.
