Folk remedies for the treatment of farsightedness

The State Duma Committee on Health Protection proposed using the capabilities of traditional (in other words, folk) medicine in the treatment of COVID-19.

The corresponding letter has already been sent by deputies to the Ministry of Health. As explained by the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Health Protection Fedot Tumusov , in countries where traditional folk medicine methods are widely used (China, India, Korea, Japan), significant experience has been accumulated and it is worth relying on it, as well as on the experience of predecessors and healing traditions.

Composition of herbs

The monastery tea for improving and maintaining vision includes the following medicinal plants and herbs:

1. Sage. Soothes the eyes and relieves inflammation. Eliminates pain and spasm in the eye muscles.
2. Rose hip. Relieves intraocular inflammation.
3. Chinese lemongrass. Calms the central nervous system and improves visual acuity.
4. Sagebrush. Effectively helps in the fight against various bacteria.

13. Eyebright. Relieves pain and pain in the eyes, has a calming and enveloping effect.

Essential Products to Improve Vision

The table shows the main vitamins and microelements that have a positive effect on vision, as well as familiar foods that are high in nutrients.

As you can see, these are mainly products of plant origin. These also include tea - both its classic use internally and washing the eyeballs with weak tea leaves are useful.

For astigmatism

Proper nutrition improves the general condition of the body and alleviates acute conditions of chronic diseases. A list of foods that are especially useful for astigmatism is presented in the table. Each of the products contains one or another substance that improves eye health in this disease.

It is also necessary to include nuts, lean fish and meats, and dairy products in your diet.

With increased intraocular pressure

It seems surprising, but such a simple substance as vitamin C promotes the outflow of excess fluid from the eyeball, thereby lowering intraocular pressure. You can get the required dosage of this substance from familiar vegetables and fruits: oranges, tomatoes, red and black currants, sweet peppers and rose hips. You can prepare a rosehip infusion: to do this, pour 5-7 dried berries in a thermos with 1 liter of boiling water and leave overnight. By morning, the vitamin C-enriched drink will be ready for consumption. Chromium deficiency can also cause increased eye pressure. Eating mushrooms, eggs, lean meat and chicken liver will help replenish the deficiency of this substance in the body.

For eye vessels

The principles of proper nutrition, in particular the abundant consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits, will strengthen the eye vessels and reduce the number of their micro-tears. Regular consumption of beets, onions, garlic, raisins and dried apricots will reduce the number of small burst vessels in the whites of the eye. The look will be refreshed and rested, and the eyes will stop getting tired in the evening.

With retinal detachment

This disease is one of the most serious. The bottom line is that the special nervous tissue responsible for image perception ceases to receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients and begins to deform. Ignoring symptoms can lead to vision loss. For this disease, it is especially useful to consume foods containing antioxidants, as well as vitamins B and C. Foods suitable for this condition are listed in the table.

For myopia

In the vast majority of cases, this disease is acquired and is characterized by the fact that a person does not clearly see distant objects. Fruits and vegetables high in vitamins C, A, E and group B, dairy products, nuts and lean meats will help strengthen vision in case of myopia. More detailed list of products:

• Bell pepper;
• Citrus;
• Kalina;
• Rowan;
• Cottage cheese;
• Chicken yolk;
• Cashew nuts;
• Rabbit;
• Turkey.

For farsightedness

Age-related changes inside the eyeball lead to the fact that objects located at a distance of less than 30 centimeters from the seer are perceived unclearly. One of the main substances that help support the functions of the optic nerve are B vitamins. A list of suitable foods high in this substance is presented in the table.

Also, for farsightedness, it is useful to eat foods rich in phosphorus and iron. These include beans, green vegetables and beef by-products.

For children

In general, there are no differences between adult and children's diets for maintaining vision. Pay attention to what your child likes most and don't try to force him to eat foods he doesn't like. The list of suitable products is extensive; you will definitely be able to choose something that your baby will eat not only with benefit, but also with pleasure. The most delicious foods for children are:

• Blueberry;
• Strawberries;
• Cherries;
• Raspberries;
• Cheese;
• Cashew nuts;
• Carrot;
• Green pea.

Foods that damage your eyesight

There are also foods whose regular consumption negatively affects visual acuity. They increase intraocular pressure, contribute to vasoconstriction and disrupt the flow of nutrients to the eyeball. Undesirable ones include:

• Coffee;
• Salt;
• Alcohol;
• Flour products made from premium flour (such products contain a large amount of refined starch, which reduces the level of special proteins in the blood that are necessary for the proper functioning of the eyeball);
• Flavor enhancers and food additives in industrial products (E621, E627, E631)

Reducing your consumption of these foods will help maintain eye health for many years.

Preparing the infusion

To properly brew monastery tea for vision, you need to pour 1 teaspoon of chopped herbs into an enamel pan. Pour 200 ml of boiling water. Close the lid tightly and let the infusion steep for about 20 minutes. After time, strain. It is permissible to add sugar or honey to tea for sweetness.

It is best to brew the collection before use; if this is not possible, then you can use a thermos and store the tea in it for 24 hours. It is also important to know that it is better not to heat this infusion, so as not to lose its beneficial properties, it is better to add boiling water to it.

Foods rich in B vitamins

Vitamins of this group affect the condition of the optic nerve, strengthen vascular walls, preventing the rupture of capillaries, and normalize metabolic processes in the lens and cornea. By consuming foods high in vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 for farsightedness, you can slow down the progression of the pathology and prevent the development of complications and concomitant diseases. Foods such as spinach, sea and white cabbage, fish, bananas, milk, apples, nuts, cereals, legumes, potatoes, rye bread can enrich your body with B vitamins.

Usage and course of admission

It is necessary to consume half a glass 2-3 times a day, warm and preferably half an hour before meals. The minimum course of treatment is one month. Then you should take a break of 10 days. Then the course is repeated. To obtain a therapeutic effect, you need to drink tea every day, and try not to miss it. The course can be repeated up to 6 times. For prevention, you don’t have to follow a strict dosage schedule; in this case, you can drink the collection as desired, for example, instead of regular black or green tea.

Foods Rich in Vitamin A

Retinol is rightfully considered the “vitamin” of vision. It is a component of the retina and is involved in the production of a light-sensitive substance. Therefore, if it is deficient, a person loses the ability to see clearly in the twilight. This problem is well known to people with age-related farsightedness.

To provide the body with vitamin A, you need to eat butter, egg yolk, fish oil, cod liver, cream, as well as plant products - apricots, carrots, sorrel, sweet peppers, sea buckthorn, lettuce.

Medicinal effect and properties

The positive effect of taking such monastery tea can already be felt after a few weeks. In some cases, monastery tea is more effective in treating diseases than drops or tablets. With the help of a unique healing composition, tea has the following effects on the eyes:

• normalizes blood circulation processes in the visual system;
• helps reduce tension in the eyes;
• has strengthening properties on vascular walls;
• has a positive effect on the process of restoration and regeneration of the retina;
• is able to eliminate pain and pain in the eyes;
• has an effect on improving focusing;
• normalizes the tone of the eye muscle;
• prevents sclerotic changes in the retina;
• saturates with vitamins beneficial for vision.

Farsightedness is a visual impairment with serious consequences.

A person with farsightedness cannot clearly see objects that are located close to him. And in the later stages of the disease, it is difficult to distinguish distant objects.

In this article

• Farsightedness is a visual impairment with serious consequences.
• Foods Rich in Vitamin A
• Foods rich in B vitamins
• Foods high in ascorbic acid
• Foods rich in potassium, zinc and selenium
• What other foods should you eat to avoid vision problems?
• Proper nutrition is not a panacea for farsightedness

Also, with this refractive error, the patient often complains of tiredness and fatigue of the eyes, burning and discomfort. As the pathology develops, headaches may occur and inflammatory eye diseases may become more frequent. Serious complications of untreated farsightedness include strabismus, amblyopia and glaucoma.

Pronounced symptoms and complications can be avoided if you promptly seek qualified help from an ophthalmologist. After diagnosis, the specialist will prescribe a suitable treatment method. Most often, this is complex therapy, which includes wearing glasses or contact lenses, hardware procedures, special gymnastics, and recommendations for reducing eye strain. Also, during complex therapy, it is often recommended to include in your diet foods that improve vision in case of farsightedness and generally have a beneficial effect on the human visual system.

Proper nutrition is not a panacea for farsightedness

Eating a balanced diet and eating foods that are rich in nutrients is a good way to prevent vision problems.

But it should be understood that even the most useful products for farsightedness or other refractive error are not a panacea. They can improve eye function, slow down pathological and age-related processes, but it is impossible to cure hyperopia with proper nutrition alone. This requires a set of measures, which are determined by the doctor. Therefore, if you have farsightedness or other vision problems, first of all contact an ophthalmologist.

Symptoms of farsightedness

The main symptoms of the disease are:

• decreased near vision - the patient has difficulty seeing nearby objects and in order, for example, to read a newspaper, he has to move it as far as possible from his eyes;
• rapid onset of eye fatigue;
• regular pain in the temples or frontal part of the head associated with overstrain of the eye muscles.

Few people know that with a strong degree of farsightedness, a person can have difficulty seeing not only nearby objects, but also into the distance. In some cases, farsightedness is combined with astigmatism, which leads to double vision of objects and distortion of their actual shapes and sizes.

Prevention of farsightedness

The main measures to prevent farsightedness are:

1. Rejection of bad habits.
2. Correct mode of workplace lighting . You should only write and read in good lighting, using a desk lamp or a fairly bright external light. It is necessary to avoid combining natural and artificial lighting.
3. Complete, proper nutrition . It is necessary to stop eating fast food and other unhealthy foods. The diet should contain a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, microelements and vitamins (especially group A). It is necessary to eat more natural foods rich in fiber, fresh fruits and vegetables.
4. Correct distribution of visual load . During intense visual work, you need to take regular breaks and rest your eyes. It is imperative to alternate work with active rest, during which you can do special exercises for the eyes.
5. Special eye training . It is aimed at preventing or correcting farsightedness and includes preventive exercises to strengthen the eye muscles, computer correction, laser stimulation, and medication in the form of eye drops. All of the above manipulations are carried out under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.
6. Eye exercises . There is a special gymnastics complex for the eyes, aimed at relaxing the eye muscles. It must be performed every 40 minutes of visual work.
7. Detection of farsightedness in the early stages and its proper correction . This will help avoid progression of the disease and eliminate possible complications.
8. General eventsaimed at improving the health of the body:
   daily walking, physical exercise;
9. hardening the body, strengthening the immune defense;
10. timely treatment of eye diseases;
11. regular sanitation of foci of chronic infection in the body;
12. avoiding stress.

Diagnosis of farsightedness

Making a diagnosis is not particularly difficult for an ophthalmologist. Previously, skiascopic rulers were used to detect farsightedness in children. Now this method is almost never used, since a more accurate and simpler technique has appeared - autorefractometry, with which you can identify even the most minor visual impairments, as well as diagnose astigmatism.

The main method for diagnosing farsightedness is visometry - measuring visual acuity . In order to independently identify farsightedness at home, you can take special simple tests that can be easily found on the Internet.

However, it should be remembered that tests do not always give a true result, so if symptoms of farsightedness appear, you should make an appointment with an ophthalmologist and undergo the necessary examinations.

What other foods should you eat to avoid vision problems?

For any vision problems, it is important that the human body receives the maximum amount of vitamins and nutrients from food. Be sure to consume egg yolks and fish oil. They contain vitamin D, which is responsible for the immunity of the visual organs and can protect against inflammatory processes in the cornea.

Include cherries, buckwheat, and green salad, which contain rutin, in your diet. This vitamin strengthens vascular walls and increases their elasticity. It is not produced by the human body, so make sure that you always have foods rich in rutin on your table. Lutein is an important trace element for vision. It strengthens the retina, protects the lens from clouding, slows down age-related changes, and has an antioxidant effect. Lutein is found in green leafy vegetables, oranges, peaches, apricots, beets, pomegranates, and red grapes.

Causes of farsightedness

The main reasons for the development of farsightedness are a decrease in the refractive power of the lens or an atypical shape of the eyeball.

Impaired elasticity of the lens is usually associated with age-related changes, which is why farsightedness occurs in most older people.

An atypical shape means that the eyeball is flattened vertically, making it look short. All newborns have this shape of the eyeball, so farsightedness in children under one year of age is considered normal. With age, everything returns to normal, and vision normalizes on its own.
