One of the most common eye problems is myopia. If left untreated, the condition can lead to the development of cataracts, glaucoma, lazy eye syndrome, and macular degeneration. You can prevent such consequences and improve your vision with simple methods, including eye training and taking vitamins.

Relax eye muscles

As explained by ophthalmologist Tyler Sorensen, the eye muscles that support good vision weaken over time if they are not trained. This is a common problem for people who work at a computer or teenagers who spend too much time in front of gadgets. To improve vision, the specialist advised taking a break every couple of hours, shifting your gaze to other objects. It is best to go outside, but in extreme cases, you can even just look at the landscape outside the window.

Take off your glasses sometimes

Glasses are the quickest solution to nearsightedness, but they actually relax the eye muscles, preventing them from working at their full potential. Sorensen recommended taking them off more often, and ideally wearing them only when you really need to. “You can put them on at the grocery store, but leave them on if you’re going to watch a movie on the big screen,” he noted.

Take vitamins

There are certain nutrients, vitamins and minerals that affect eye function. Some of the most important are vitamins A, C and E, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and lutein. “If possible, include these nutrients in your daily diet by eating plenty of leafy greens, berries and fish,” the expert added.

Eye exercises

Exercising outdoors is considered beneficial. One of the most effective is an exercise to stretch the eye muscles. To do this, you need to stand up straight, and then look at the horizon to the right without turning your head. Then slowly move your gaze to the left, and later down and up. Earlier, Tyler Sorensen named several more exercises that will help improve eye health.
