2 The essence of the activities

Gymnastics with astigmatism consists of two main parts: relaxing and firming. From the name it is clear that the relaxing part helps relieve the load, and the strengthening part is tonic and, in fact, corrects the vision. Exercises:

1. Look up and down without looking up. Exercise should be done without straining the eyeball, continuing to move as if to the crown or chin. The head should look straight, the back is straight.
2. Look to the right and to the left. The same exercise as the first, but in this case, the direction of the view to the right, as well as to the left ear, respectively.
3. Rotate pupils in a circle in two approaches: first clockwise, then against. The head can not be tilted or lowered. Repeat 8 times per approach. This exercise is often called the "dial", because it is easier to perform if you represent the clock in front of you. You need to take as large a radius as possible, without straining your eyes.
4. Perform the exercise "dial", lowering the eyelids.
5. Exercise "inverted hourglass".The view is first to the upper right corner, down, then to the upper left corner then down again. Repeat 8 times in three sets with eyes open. As a result, you will get a figure that resembles an inverted hourglass or a bow.
6. Exercise "eight" is very popular. This exercise should be performed not only during charging for the eyes, but also simply if the tension in the eyeball is felt. You should make your eyes move in the form of a figure eight times in two approaches, and as many times in the form of a sign of infinity. Approaches differ in the direction, first you need to do clockwise, then against.
7. Look at the tip of the nose, then straight, marking the surroundings around him( objects, colors, movement), in the middle of the nose, straight again, and at the point between the eyebrows.

3 Completion of gymnastics

In order for gymnastics to be of use, you need to finish it correctly:

1. Close your eyes and relax. Slowly open and blink. Repeat three times.
2. Close your eyes with your hands, do not skip the light, blink, open your eyes.
3. With your finger pads, massage your eyes. First clockwise, then against, down and up.

4 Additional exercises

The charge for eyes with astigmatism should last approximately 5-10 minutes, including preparation. During this time, at a moderate pace, you can perform about 7-10 exercises, that is, for a minute per item. In no case should one rush, make sudden movements. Everything should be slow and executed correctly. There are a number of exercises that can replace the elements of the strengthening part:

• Name. By eyes write in the air in big letters your full name. If it is short, you can replace the name with a surname or patronymic.
• To expose a finger in front of you, look at it first, then on an object that is near( you can, for example, draw a point on the glass), then into the distance.
• Looking at the same finger, smoothly move it to the face and back.
• Write a nasal sentence: "I improve my vision" in capital letters.

There are many exercises for correcting vision and for preventing diseases. They should be performed by all: both adults and children, and, even if never with the eyes did not have any problems. Due to the fact that a person works at a computer, reads, watches TV, increases intraocular pressure. In this case, vision may not even fall right away, but the headaches will always accompany them. And this means that the mood will fall, as well as performance. Regularly performing a short charge, you can correct your eyesight, get rid of unpleasant symptoms and do not worry about your health.

It should be remembered that charging for the eyes is not a panacea. If there are serious visual impairments, then such exercises should be done only in conjunction with other methods of treatment. Do not need to pull with a hike to the doctor, hoping that one gymnastics will fix everything.
