Diseases of the eyes - hyperopia and myopia

The eyes of a person are a mirror of his soul and state of health, so you need to carefully take care of this important organ. To date, there are very few people who have one hundred percent vision. Hyperopia and myopia are the most common diseases.

Insufficiently trained eye muscles, as well as constant eyestrain, can lead to similar illnesses. Today, more and more often a person works at a computer, thereby undergoing prolonged brain and visual stress. Poor lighting and inadequate hygiene also contribute to the development of "eye" diseases. According to statistics, every fourth person in a developed country suffers from myopia.

Most of the reasons come from early childhood, when a child in the primary class is asked a lot of homework related to writing and reading. For example, a first-grader significantly spoils his eyesight in the few hours he spends on books and notebooks. But general education programs become more rigid every year, the state seeks to ensure that children learn a lot, thereby putting the students to the limit. But together with such behavior they, for some reason, do not focus attention on the health of the kids. That's where the diseases such as hyperopia and myopia begin. To protect your child from such a problem, prevention is necessary to maintain a good vision.

So, short-sightedness is a disease in which a person perfectly sees objects near but loses clarity of the image when they are away. Hyperopia is a disease "on the contrary." Here people see objects in the distance better than near. Both can develop for different reasons, but always require competent treatment and constant prevention.

Hyperopia and nearsightedness can be due to hereditary factors, in this case the predisposition to the disease depends on the features in the structure of the eye and eye muscles. Also, the disease can manifest as a result of chronic infection, metabolic disorder or hypovitaminosis. A person may have short-sightedness from the fact that he is sitting at the computer for a long time. Also, work based on constant visual loads, contributes to poor eyesight. There are many reasons for development, but they can be avoided, except for hereditary dispositions, with a competent attitude towards their eyesight.

In some cases, there may be nearsightedness and farsightedness simultaneously, here, as in other variants, special glasses or contact lenses prescribed by a doctor will help. With a constant drop in vision, an urgent consultation of a specialist is required to avoid more serious moments, for example, deprivation of sight at all.

Hyperopia is less common than nearsightedness. In this case, the reflected rays incident on the human eye do not focus on the retina. Signs that a person has hyperopia is the following:

• There is chronic eye fatigue , in which a man complains of pain in the eyeballs and frontal part;
• There is a feeling of heaviness and pain in the eyes with prolonged work with objects located close enough;
• May blush eyelids;
• Blinking and lacrimation increase.

In addition to these factors, sometimes the disease is manifested by frequent inflammatory diseases of the eyes, for example, barley. In all cases, it is worthwhile to see a doctor, because only he can remedy this situation.

Restoration of vision with myopia is quite possible with the help of a special course of treatment, which includes not only medications, but also acupuncture and physiotherapy. Possible laser treatment, scleroplastic, highly effective minor trauma surgery.

A person who has farsightedness and shortsightedness, in most cases, should wear glasses to prevent the occurrence of serious problems, including those associated with complete loss of vision.
