Eye exercises to decrease my number?
i’m near-sighted, my number is around 1.5 in both eyes, i cant wear contacts cuz im allergic and im really sick of my glasses. do u know of any eye exercises that work?
admin answers:
-1.5 D is very mild near sightedness. The answer is yes. There are eye exercises that can really help. There is a lot you can do. Take breaks from being on t he computer too olong. Blink often, close your eyes and rest them. Wear computer glasses. Use eye lubrication drops. Avoid alcohol use (causes dry-eye).
However if the cause to the user’s myopia is highly genetic instead of visual fatigue, than eye exercises will not be too effective. However, eye exercise will still be useful in controlling the progression of myopia. Eye exercise maintains their eye functions and hence slows down its retardation further.
The user’s lifestyle also plays a big part. If the user continues to abuse their eyes with excessive computer gaming, poor visual habits or even poor nutrition intake, it will also affect the effectiveness of the eye exercise programme.
The user’s discipline and diligence plays a big part to the effectiveness of the programme. Most eye exerciser therapy requires 45 minutes of the patient’s time, 2 times a day, to go through various cumbersome procedures. This is difficult to commit especially with urban hectic daily life.
Eye exercises are sometimes termed as eye accommodation exercises. When our eyes see images, whether near or far, our eyes are constantly adjusting its focus, much like a camera does. This is achieved with the group of ciliary muscles in our eyes. The process of focusing near and far is medically known as accommodation. (Also see How our Eyes Work)
When we see near object, our ciliary muscles tenses up. When we see distant object, our ciliary muscles relaxed. That is the reason why doctors would advise relax your eyes, see far. Many clinical studies have shown a strong correlation between near work and myopia. With excessive near work, the ciliary bodies go into spasm and loose its accommodative ability, leading to myopia. (Also see Causes of Myopia) Hence, if we are able to train our our ciliary muscles, we would be able to maintain its healthy function, and also treat myopia.
The concept of eye exercises to improve myopia has being around for a long time; the most famous advocator of which is Dr William Bates whom proposes amongst others, eye exercises in the 1920s commonly known as ‘Bates Method’.
