"To the world with different eyes": how to improve vision
Sight is perhaps one of the most invaluable human senses. With its help, we can see everything that surrounds us. And it's very sad when this "picture" becomes blurry. However, there are several ways through which it is possible to improve vision without surgery.
Visual impairment: causes
Daily our eyes are subjected to very strong stress and, of course, this affects the quality of vision. Deterioration can occur for a variety of reasons:
- Heredity. Unfortunately this is the case. If the parents have problems, even those acquired during their life, then it cannot be ruled out that they will arise in the future and in the child.
- Various eye diseases (myopia, hyperopia, cataracts) and other diseases, for example diabetes... After all, our body is a single process, where all organs are directly dependent on each other.
- A TV, computer, smartphone and other devices that have a bright digital screen are the main enemies of our vision.
- Lack of lighting in the room or too bright light also have a negative impact, especially it is harmful to read in such conditions.
- Myopia can appear as a result of a head injury or just a strong blow, so to protect your eyesight, take care of yourself first.
- For some women, vision decreases during pregnancy, or after childbirth, this is due to a strong load on the body. Most often this is a temporary phenomenon.
- Age-related deterioration, usually manifested after 40 years, is a natural process, as the retina of the eye is aging. But it can be slowed down. How? We will talk about this a little later.
Vitamins for vision
Save our vision as long as possible will help vitamins... They are contained in food and vitamin and mineral complexes designed specifically for the eyes.
Lutein is a component of the first importance, it protects against the development of various pathologies, it is not produced in the human body. It can only be obtained from food in which it is contained, and then by absorbing it in large quantities. The top three are spinach, pumpkin and green peas. But still, you will have to fill your daily need, most likely, with the help of vitamin supplements.
Anthocyanins strengthen the retina and relieve general eye fatigue. This component is "rich" in black currants and blueberries.
Vitamin A helps to avoid the so-called "night blindness", that is, loss of visual acuity in poor light or in the dark. To prevent this from happening, you need to eat butter, sour cream, milk, beef and pork liver, egg yolk, cabbage, spinach and sorrel.
Vitamin B2 or riboflavin is responsible for color perception and visual acuity. In sunflower seeds, it is contained in record quantities. The main food is chicken, beef, fish, all dairy and fermented milk products, greens and vegetables of this color.
Vitamin C generally keeps the visual system in good working order. Of course, these are oranges, lemons and their other cousins, red peppers, rose hips, black currants, parsley.
Today in pharmacies you can buy a wide variety of vitamin complexes for vision. They are produced in the form of tablets, capsules, drops, so it is very easy to find the right option for yourself. The most important thing is that the content of useful and necessary substances in them meets quality standards. But it is better to seek help from a specialist - an ophthalmologist will help determine the choice of the most effective of them.
