?Notice that the eyesight began to deteriorate. What to do: buy the points or you can help some special exercises for eyes?
40 years, the economist
Vision may deteriorate due to various diseases, so the first thing to be examined by an ophthalmologist. After that, it will be clear whether you need to write down the points or assign a different treatment. As a rule, after 40 years, many began age-related farsightedness, so the effect of exercise and hardware treatment, unfortunately, will not be enough.

– Many office workers are now seeing computer-eye syndrome. Every hour arrange short breaks for 5-10 minutes. At this time, step away from the monitor and look somewhere into the distance, for example, the sky outside the window. Would also be good, if you few minutes sitting quietly with your eyes closed. To relieve your eyes and with the help of simple exercises. A few moments you will move the eyes left and right, up and down, in a circle, and then quickly blinked. You can also use "Natural tears" products containing hyaluronic acid.
?What if in the bright sun and the cold begin to tear the eye? Is it dangerous?
30 years, hairdresser
– Bright light and cold air are the natural stimuli, and our eyes reflexively react to them. Small watery eyes acceptable and normal, but when it is strong and constant, this is a symptom of the disease and tells about the inflammation. With such symptoms you should immediately go to an ophthalmologist. Otherwise, if neglected, it can lead to surgery.
Disease inherited
?How often should I go to the optometrist and can pass inspection in yourthe clinic?
To an ophthalmologist is necessary once a year if nothing disturbs. But if you feel that there was some pain, redness, or deteriorated vision, you should immediately go to an ophthalmologist. After 40-45 years, especially women, at least once in six months, you need to check the intraocular pressure: there is a risk of developing glaucoma. For those who have close relatives suffered from eye diseases, should be doubly careful. To pass the examination in our Institute, you need to take direction from a local optometrist and make an appointment.
?I have poor eyesight, think about laser correction. But I heard that nulliparous women can't do. Is this true?
28, an administrator
- The decision to perform surgery is made only after a comprehensive survey.
Laser correction can not be done in diseases of the cornea, lens, retinal pathology, glaucoma, and hypertension and diabetes. If your health is all right, and in the coming year you are planning to have children, laser correction can do.
?Doctor prescribed glasses, but after a few hours in them I'm starting to crack the head. What you tell? I have myopia and vision minus 1.5.
- These glasses you prescribed for distance, so work them at the computer or, say, with papers, not. For work I recommend you to choose the glasses with lower diopters of minus 0.5 or 0.75. And glasses that you have now, wear it when driving, watching TV or, if you come to the theatre.
"Harmful" gadgets
?Now a very popular e-books and tablets. And how do they affect the eyes?
– Where we usually read e-books? That's right, in the shaking of the bus, lying on the couch in the dark... Is, of course, hurts the eyes and vision. If you do not want to part with their favorite tablet or a book, try to use them in good light, in a quiet environment, keeping optimal distance from the screen to the eyes and choosing a good readable font.
?How to choose quality sunglasses?
– Buy the transitions just not worth it. But among the brand may come across low quality sunglasses or even a fake. I think it is advisable to buy sunglasses from the optician and ask the seller to show a certificate of conformity.It is made of what material points and for which the weather is suitable.
