Step 1
Many studies conducted by ophthalmologists are devoted to the problem of restoration and preservation of vision in children. Most of them agree that preserving vision is a complex process that includes adherence to a regimen, performing special exercises, proper nutrition, etc. It requires consistency and regularity, so parents need to control and direct this work.
Step 2
The first thing a child with poor eyesight needs is a daily routine. It should be composed so that there is time for walks in the fresh air and for outdoor games. Don't let your child spend half a day watching TV. If he needs to use a computer, monitor the illumination of the workplace, as well as the duration of stay at the monitor screen.
Step 3
Teach your child to sit properly and monitor the position of the light source. It is necessary that the surface of the notebook or textbook is clearly visible. In no case do not allow the child to read in a supine position, as the load on the eyes increases several times.
Step 4
It is important to pay attention to the nutrition of the child. As a rule, visual impairment occurs especially during the period of rapid growth, which occurs at the age of 10-12 years. Therefore, be sure to include calcium in the child's diet, it not only strengthens the bones, but also prevents the eyeball and retina from deforming. In addition, it is useful to eat foods containing vitamin C (cranberries, black currants, rose hips), as well as vitamin A (carrots, blueberries) and E (nuts, sunflower oil).
Step 5
A set of special exercises for the eyes perfectly helps to restore vision in children. They can even be done with babies. You need to repeat the exercises 3-4 times a day. So, first ask the child to close his eyes tightly for a few seconds, and then open his eyes. You need to repeat this procedure 5-6 times. Then you need to blink intensively for 15-20 seconds. You can complete gymnastics with a massage of the eyelids.
