Frequent stress, work at the computer, age-related changes, oxygen impermeability due to prolonged use of contact lenses have a negative effect on the condition of the eyes. In order to avoid surgical intervention, it is worth studying in detail the methods of restoring vision at home.
How to restore vision at home
The problem of vision loss is familiar to many. There is no universal solution to this problem. Improving eyesight at home should be comprehensive. For this you need:
- Establish nutrition by including foods that contain lots of vitamins, amino acids, lutein, zinc, carotenoids, and minerals on your menu.
- Do eye exercises.
- Establish a daily routine, alternate eye load with rest.
- It is reasonable to use drugs (strictly prescribed by a doctor) and traditional medicine.
It is important to restore vision at home, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body. If a person suffers from myopia, he is faced with the problem of distinguishing distant objects. In this case, the image of things falling into the field of view is clearly formed in front of the retina. People with myopia need:
- Alternate working at the computer screen with rest. It is important to take short breaks.
- Enrich your diet with foods that are good for the eyes - parsley, blueberries and carrots.
- Do eye exercises regularly. One of the effective exercises is looking from a point that is 1 m away at objects that are far and behind.
Hyperopia is the opposite of myopia. People with this problem can see distant objects well. Up close, the image loses sharpness. With age, farsightedness occurs in almost all people. To slow down the development of pathology, it is recommended to take the following measures at home:
- Forget coffee, alcohol, sweets.
- Include foods containing potassium, vitamin A, ascorbic acid in the menu.
- Exercise regularly for farsightedness. To do this, it is useful to look from close objects to distant objects and vice versa, rotate your eyes clockwise and vice versa.
Ways to improve children's eyesight at home have similar principles. It is important for parents to control how much time a child or teenager spends in front of the TV or computer screen, posture when writing, proper nutrition.

Instead of individual letters, it uses text printed in different fonts. Based on the book by M. Norbekov, vision training is carried out taking into account the rules:
- With farsightedness, the table is placed at a distance of 15 cm from the eyes.
- If a person has impaired visual function in only one eye, the healthy eye will be closed before training.
- With myopia, the table is placed at a distance of at least 30 cm from the eyes.
- If a person has impaired visual function in both eyes, but one of them has farsightedness and the other suffers from myopia, then you should train alternately.
- When viewing the table, they start reading the text from the top row down. Determine the line of work (after it, the letters begin to blur). Through regular training, the patient gradually descends and sees more text.
