Today, many people spend most of their working time at the computer.This requires maximum eye strain, which causes us 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 adequate rest for his eyes.Special exercises for the eyes will help with this.
“The eyes work thanks to muscles, and muscles need to be trained”, says the ophthalmologist."It is best to do eye movements in the morning or in the evening, before bed. Repeat each exercise 5 to 30 times, start small, gradually increase the load. The movements are smooth, without jerks, it is useful to blink between exercises. And do not forget to take off your glasses or contact lenses."
7 best exercises to maintain, restore and improve vision:
Curtains
Blink quickly and easily for 2 minutes.Helps improve blood circulation.
Looking out the window
We make a dot from plasticine and sculpt it from glass.We select a distant object outside the window, look into the distance for a few seconds, and then return our gaze to the point.Later you can complicate the load - focus on four objects at different distances.
Big eyes
We sat up straight.Close your eyes tightly for 5 seconds and then open them wide.Repeat 8 to 10 times.It strengthens the eyelid muscles, improves blood circulation and helps relax the eye muscles.
Massage
Using three fingers on each hand, lightly press the upper eyelids;after 1-2 seconds, remove your fingers from your eyelids.Repeat 3 times.Improves the circulation of intraocular fluid.
Hydromassage
Twice a day, morning and evening, rinse your eyes.In the morning - first you feel the hot water (without getting burned!), then the cold water.Before going to bed, do everything in reverse order: rinse with cold water and then hot water.
Drawing a picture
First aid for your eyes is to close them for a few minutes and imagine something pleasant.And if you rub your palms together and cover your eyes with warm palms, crossing your fingers in the middle of your forehead, the effect will be more noticeable.
“We shoot with our eyes” (as in the illustration)
- We look up and down with maximum amplitude.
- Draw a circle clockwise and vice versa.
- We draw diagonals with our eyes.
- We draw a square with our eyes.
- The gaze follows an arc - convex and concave.
- We look around the diamond.
- We draw arcs with our eyes.
- We draw the letter S - first in a horizontal position, then in a vertical position.
- We draw vertical arcs with our eyes, first clockwise and then counterclockwise.
- We move our gaze from one corner to another along the diagonals of the square.
- We bring the pupils to the bridge of the nose with all our strength, bringing the finger closer to the nose.

- eye exercises when working at a computer are performed 2 times a day at the same time;
- observe the movements - the amplitude must be maximum;
- When constantly working on a computer, take a short one-minute break every 40 minutes or at least every hour.
