How to strengthen your eyes with natural methods
The eyes are one of the most sensitive and, of course, the most vulnerable organs of the body. We do a lot of activity using them every day, which over time and improper and excessive use of them negatively affects the eyes. Even if you have perfect eye health, take the necessary care.
If you are looking for a natural prescription to improve your vision, there is no way around it. You will still need glasses for nearsightedness and farsightedness, but there are things you can do to keep your eyes healthy, such as making healthy lifestyle choices, eating well, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and not smoking. There are many myths about how you can improve your vision without glasses or contact lenses, most of which are unproven techniques. The best thing you can do for your eyes is to make healthy choices and get regular eye exams.
Natural ways to maintain eye health:
Eating a balanced and healthy diet rich in antioxidants and vitamin A: vegetables, carrots, fish, vitamins C, A, E and fruits can help maintain eye health. A nutritious diet can help improve vision and slow down the gradual decline in vision associated with aging.
Get enough sleep:
When you are very tired, your eyes can easily become strained and dry. Regular sleep can reduce eye fatigue and thus improve vision.
Regular exercise:
Being physically active can increase blood circulation and oxygen flow to the eyes and help reduce dry eyes. You can also include garlic and onions in your diet.
Protect your eyes from the sun:
Wear sunglasses when you are in the sun to reduce the sun’s harmful rays. Protect your eyes when doing anything that can cause eye damage: The American Academy of Ophthalmology reports that the most common vision problems for adults (people between the ages of 19 and 40) are related to injuries and strain on the eyes.
Rest your eyes while using the computer:
If you spend a lot of time looking at a screen, such as a computer or smartphone, look away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. This can help prevent digital eye strain, which can cause fatigue, headaches, neck pain, and vision loss.
Get a thorough eye exam:
The National Eye Institute states that a thorough eye exam is the best way to make sure your eyes are in the best possible condition. An eye exam can help to identify potential problems and help maintain healthy eyes and vision.
Don’t smoke:
Smoking can increase your risk of many physical health problems, including optic nerve damage, age-related macular degeneration, and cataracts. These problems can affect your vision.
Practice good hygiene:
Wash your hands and face thoroughly and regularly. Avoid using cosmetics or chemicals on your eyes. If you wear contact lenses, keep them clean and in good condition.
Eye Exercises:
You may not be familiar with eye exercises, but eyes, like other body parts, need exercise before and after sleep to stay healthy. I
Roll your eyes in a circular motion clockwise 10 times and then do this movement 10 times in the opposite direction.
Rub your palms together until the temperature rises, then place your palms on your eyes for 10 seconds, repeat this action 5 times.
Massage under the eyes, temples, and forehead in a circular motion with your thumb.
Hold your thumb 10 to 18 centimeters from your nose and stare at it for about 5 seconds, repeat this 10 times for about 2 minutes.
Adjust ambient light:
Always adjust the ambient light when studying and at work so that it is soft and does not shine directly into the eyes because the light from fluorescent lamps alone has a negative effect on the eyes. Avoid watching TV and working on the computer and phone in the dark.
Use a low-level air conditioner and a steam machine to humidify the environment and, if necessary, put artificial tears in the eyes.
Some common misconceptions about eyes:
Don’t wear glasses because they can make your vision worse:
Don’t wear contact lenses or eyeglasses without a doctor’s advice because they can reduce your natural vision. Prescription glasses or contact lenses can help you see better and don’t change your vision or the natural shape of your eyes.
Practice relaxation or eye massage techniques can reduce the need for glasses. Methods such as rubbing your palms over your eyes, placing cold or warm compresses on your eyes, or using flower compresses on closed eyes are often considered ways to naturally improve your vision. These methods may help reduce eye pressure and are a good way to relieve tension, but there is no evidence that they can directly improve vision.
Eye exercises can correct astigmatism and help you see better. There are many different eye exercises that claim to train your eyes and strengthen the muscles around them. Although they are very tiring and require long periods of concentration every day, they may be beneficial in some way.
