Eye simulators and gymnastics: benefits or harms

Almost every patient dreams of getting cured quickly, without unnecessary efforts, without resorting to medical help. The temptation to self-medicate is very great, including ophthalmological problems.  When faced with visual impairment for the first time, during a period of intense visual stress, and especially at the onset of the first signs of age-related hyperopia, a person tries at all costs to restore vision. Various systems of exercises for vision training are widely known, and there are special areas: author's systems, "Chinese" Chi-Gong techniques, acupuncture, massage, hand warming, and exercises on various simulators that guarantee an amazing effect.

Why is it that after applying exercises and stimulation, you can feel an improvement in the quality of vision, but after some time after stopping classes, the positive effect disappears?

When performing intensive exercises, the muscles of the eye work at full capacity: blood supply, nutrition, and oxygen saturation of the eye tissues improve, which definitely leads to an improvement in the quality of vision, but, unfortunately, it is temporary, since such a regime is not natural for the eyes.

And the most important thing that supporters of constant training forget about is the pathology of refraction (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism) - this is a consequence of the "incorrect configuration" of the eye and deformation of the optical system.

The answer to this question was provided by modern scanners and ultrasound, thanks to which the ophthalmologist receives complete information about the individual, unique picture of the refractive optical system of the eye for each individual patient. This invaluable information allows us to correctly diagnose and suggest the best way to solve the problem.

Clear recommendations from the doctor
We would like to express our deep gratitude to ophthalmologist Oksana Levkina for the ongoing course of treatment. Although it is still ongoing, improved visibility and removal of the interfering spot can be noted. The reception takes place in a comfortable environment, with
detailed explanations during the treatment, which has a very beneficial effect on well-being and causes confidence in the results of the treatment process. Clear recommendations from the doctor help to carry out additional procedures at home quite easily and effectively. Congratulations to Oksana Alexandrovna and the involved specialists on the upcoming New Year and Christmas with wishes of new success in such an important and responsible work!
