| weakness of eyes |
Visually impaired and thus a pair of glasses is no longer a rarity. The majority of Swiss (64 percent) wears glasses or contact lenses. From the age of 65, the share is 87 percent.
If it continues at this pace, do not wear glasses will be a curiosity in just a few decades.
Glasses or other visual aids are among the standard tools of every citizen and without glasses are you feel incomplete and inferior.
No one is more aware that glasses actually nothing more than a crutch for sick eyes.
If our eyes really getting worse?
During childhood glasses were so "cobra" yet called because of their exceptional few decades ago, glasses are in schools now so widespread that now (thank God) no one thinks more to the teasing.
Has the proportion of glasses now therefore increased so much, because the eyes of the people are actually so much worse and sicker than in the past was the case?
Or only because the current diagnostic methods are first used more often and secondly, simply measure more accurately than the previous?
After all, a visual impairment will already be detected (which can lead to a pair of glasses), if the patient was not even aware of the alleged problem today.
Both are correct. On one hand, the industrially processed food together with the modern lifestyle (computer, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol, etc.)to a reduced eye health.
On the other hand, people are urged to regular eye tests or (as in the case of the driving test) required to do so, so that on this occasion also such poor eyesight come to light that the person concerned may have completely new.
Amblyopic - A good business
Certainly not just uninvolved in the rapid development of eyeglass wearers number is also the business acumen of the eyeglass company, opticians and ophthalmologists.
Actually it is really only incidentally about improving the eyesight. The basic motivation of the glasses industry is against it - of course - in the profit maximization.
This was particularly beautiful in 2010, when the Federal Cartel Office the so-called "working group pricing structures" revealed.
These were to illegal price fixing of the top five manufacturers of ophthalmic lenses
Since 2000, caught in the act had ensured that the competition had come to a virtual standstill in the eyewear market. Funded the Party of consumers the eyeglass frame often had absparen of mouth - the spectacle lens manufacturer drove huge profits and opticians were pleased with rewarding incentives and rebates.
But basically it's worth it not, the eyes (or the mood) to spoil the reading of such messages. It is much better to deal with that information, which can promote the vision in a natural way and is improving.
Then glasses can in fact be as expensive as they want. We simply do not need any more or at least not more every few years a new one.
Visual impairment in old age can be prevented
Eye problems are known to like with age. This, however, should not lead to the conclusion that age would necessarily lead to poor eyesight.
A visual impairment in this case is rather the long-term consequence of living and eating habits of the person concerned and his (bad) habits.
This in turn means that a different lifestyle and changing the habits, the so-called. Prevent age-related vision problems or can significantly lessen in severity.
Computers & Co. favor low vision
If eye problems occur in younger people, even today, the increased use of computers, laptops, game boys and cell phones as well as hours of television are whose development course. These are activities which can lead to a rapid loss of elasticity eyes.
By gazing at always the same point in always the same distance from the focusing muscle levels off at this distance in mind. The result is that objects that are further away on the eye than the usual screen or much closer than this are only exercised blurred with time. But even that can be fixed again.
Train your eye muscle!
Those who sit a lot in front of the screen or sitting must, therefore, get into the habit following exercise:
Let periodically eyes every now and again into the distance (eg the window), hold then immediately thereafter any object directly in front of the eyes to look at it closely, you look again into the distance, again in the vicinity of, and so on.
If you practice this consistently, you will practice the elasticity of your eye muscle, which can even help make an already decreased vision again.
Every third child has eye problems
But even small children who certainly had little contact with computers, not spared in the modern era of eye diseases. When in 2010 the Bavarian company health insurance could investigate around 850 kindergarten children, it was found the suspected defective vision at every third child. As a visual defect inhibits the healthy development of little ones, parents are now forced to at least two checkups by an ophthalmologist.
The first would be made in the first year of life (especially if the family already occurred Eye Diseases), the second shortly before enrollment.
Screening would, however, (at least from a holistic perspective) only makes sense and for that patient - whether large or small - only helpful when an established low vision not only a pair of glasses is prescribed, but also information and recommendations are communicated, the give the patient the necessary tools along the way, with which he can make himself strong for his eyes.
But this usually does not happen. The patient is put off with a mere symptom control - because otherwise the glasses. If you ask the eye doctor for measures that could be taken even, you rarely responded that there was nothing you could do for his eyes.
Useful recommendations for your eye health can be found below.
Natural fluctuations in vision
It should also be borne in mind that the eye, like any other organ in our body, natural fluctuations. Is the person tired, stressed, tense or entangled in emotional conflicts (which may also be the case already with children), it's also the eyes not so good. You suffer - like the rest of the body - an energy shortage. Recovering the person in question, then the vision improved again.
