Description

The invention relates to the field of medicine and physiotherapy, in particular to ophthalmology, and can be used for the prevention, correction and training of visual acuity and restoration of vision.

A known method of correcting vision by performing physical exercises for the oculomotor muscles, such as "look left, then right; look up, then down; look close and then away; turn your eyes ”(Demirchoglyan GG Train your eyesight. M.:“ Soviet Sport ”, 1990, pp. 13-15).

Using this method does not always give noticeable positive results. Performing such exercises does not provide momentary “enlightenment” of vision, the process of restoring vision stretches for many months and years, and the choice of certain exercises for the eyes is often random or far-fetched.

There is a method of correcting vision by performing massage procedures at various points in the neck and head to enhance general blood flow and blood flow in the eye area (Demirchoglyan G.G. Train your eyesight. M .: "Soviet Sport", 1990, p. 15, 17, 40, 43 -45). Using this method also does not give noticeable positive results in a short time of the procedures. Improving or restoring vision lasts for many months and years. It is also not possible to feel which exercise from massage procedures gives the strongest positive effect. And the choice of points for massage procedures can be random or far-fetched.

There is a method of respiratory gymnastics, in which there is an increase in total blood flow due to the implementation of breathing exercises with resistance to the flow of exhaled air (Frolov VV "Endogenous breathing - medicine of the third millennium". Novosibirsk. 2001, pp. 15-17, 116, 159- 187). One of the side and unexpected positive effects is improved vision in some patients. When performing daily breathing exercises for 2 hours for several months, some patients improve and restore vision. Vision improvement occurs with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, glaucoma, cataracts, optic atrophy and retinal dystrophy. Vision with such breathing improves as if by itself, even if the patient does not perform any physical exercises for the oculomotor muscles at all and does not perform massage procedures.

There is a method of restoring visual acuity by closing the eyelids, covering the eyes with the palms of the hands 2-3 times a day for 10-20 minutes (EA Oremus and others. "How to restore vision yourself." Image-Company. M., 2000, p. 25, 26, 42-44, 54). After some time, you can notice a significant improvement in vision. This is one of the most effective methods of vision correction.

There is a method of restoring vision by simply closing the eyes with your hands for several minutes or more (up to 15 minutes), followed by opening the eyes and looking at the test chart for one second or less (WG Bates. "Improving vision without glasses according to the Bates method ". Vilnius-Moscow. Polina, M., 1995, pp. 54-63, 65, 193, 218). Performing such exercises allows you to achieve "glimpses" of improved vision, and in some cases, complete restoration of vision as a result of alternating cycles of "darkness-light" due to increased blood circulation in the tissues of the eye. Moreover, the restoration of vision in some patients is sometimes achieved in less than an hour.

This method of restoring vision is adopted as a prototype.

The objective of the present invention is to increase the effectiveness of training in correcting or restoring vision, reducing training time, improving vision and color perception in the light and in the dark, improving nutrition and blood circulation in the tissues of the eye.

The stated technical problem will be solved by the fact that visual acuity training is carried out by alternating dimming and illuminating the visual field with simultaneous breathing exercises (both when darkening, and when illuminating the visual field and looking at the checklist). Darkening of the field of view is carried out by simply closing the eyelids, and closing the eyes with the palms of the hands (palming), or a curtain of opaque material (such as fabric), trying to carefully cover the entire field of view so that not a single ray of light enters the eyes, or just turning the lights on and off in a very dark room (you can even with your eyes open).

Dimming the field of view is carried out for 15-60 seconds, and looking at the checklist is carried out for 1-10 seconds.

During training, carry out at least 5 cycles of "dimming-lighting", and then on health.

Periodic glance at the checklist allows you to control whether the visual acuity improves with each new cycle of "dimming-lighting" of the visual field, or not.

The activation of breathing is carried out by deepening the breathing, increasing the exhalation length and respiratory rate, breathing with a slight increase in pressure in the lungs by means of resistance to exhaled air, and increasing the general ventilation of the lungs by increasing the total air exchange per unit time. 99% of people experience eye oxygen starvation. And breathing exercises increase the general blood flow due to the supersaturation of blood with oxygen in comparison with our usual breathing, and improve the nutrition of eye tissues.

And the formation of visual pigments and their repeated resynthesis in the tissues of the eye occurs from the rhodopsin located in the retina only in the presence of oxygen and only due to oxygen.

Moreover, the formation of visual pigments and their repeated resynthesis occurs in the dark many times faster than in the light.

The alternation of cycles of "dimming-lighting" activates the metabolic processes in the tissues of the eye, and the additional supply of oxygen (due to breathing exercises) increases blood flow and nutrition in these tissues. Frequent changes in darkness and light noticeably increase the formation of the number of visual pigments in the retina and the effectiveness of training visual acuity.

As a result, the surrounding objects become unusually bright, contrasting, the color of the objects becomes more saturated. Already in minutes, vision near and far noticeably improves. And when looking at a table, vision becomes the best right away on several lines of this table, and the letters and words become unusually very black and contrasting.

Immediately noticeable is also an improvement in vision at dusk and darkness.

If breathing exercises are performed separately from exercises to darken the field of view, then there is either no improvement in vision or it is hardly noticeable (only after many months of training).

And if you obscure the field of view of the watch by ten (at least for the whole night), then there is no improvement in vision at all.

With the totality of all the declared signs, vision improvement occurs almost instantly, and complete recovery in many patients occurs within 1-2 weeks, and sometimes in 2-3 days.

Example 1

The patient sits down on an armchair or lays down in bed, obscures the field of view with a curtain of dark fabric (such as a face mask) and begins to breathe as follows: ordinary or slightly enhanced inhalation by the stomach for 2-3 seconds, and the exhalation is longer for 5-20 seconds. An exhalation is made through a narrow gap between the lips in such a way as if they blow on a burning candle, but so that it does not go out, and the flame only tilts slightly to the side. The exhalation should be almost silent. Then the blinds are removed from the eyes and look at the table. In this mode, you must breathe for 5 minutes or more (as you feel). Eyes must be kept closed for 15 to 60 seconds, then the eyes open and look at the table for 1-10 seconds, observing whether vision improves. Then the cycle "dimming-lighting" of the eyes is repeated. In total, from 5 cycles or more are performed (at least 5 minutes).

The patient notices that vision even after the first cycle improves markedly. And after repeating several cycles, vision improves immediately by several lines of the test table.

But not for long, just a few minutes. But with each new training session and with each new training day, the time of “insight” lasts longer and longer. When you try to keep your eyes closed for 5, 10 or 30 minutes (palming), the effect of "insight" is also less noticeable. Frequent change of “darkness-light” cycles is needed.

When a patient tries to read books and newspapers, which he never dreamed of reading without glasses, he notices that at first he sees only lines of text (very clearly without any scattering, doubling and tripling), and after a few trainings he can read books in large print, and then newspapers with small print.

If the patient closes the visual field for less than 15 seconds, instant “vision” is hardly noticeable, and for more than 60 seconds it is not necessary to keep the visual field darkened. During this short time, the patient notices a significant improvement in vision, but there is no need to keep your eyes closed for 60 seconds longer, because no further improvement progress is observed.

Example 2

The patient obscures the field of view with a curtain (mask) made of black opaque fabric or opaque welding glasses and begins to perform breathing exercises according to the method of A.N. Strelnikova, for example, exercise “Pump”: put her hands in a fist in the belt, then throw her hands down and make a sharp, short and noisy breath with her nose. Do not pay attention to exhale. Perform 15-60 sharp breaths with eyes closed for about 15-60 seconds, then remove the mask and look at the checklist for 1-10 seconds. The frequency of breaths is approximately one breath per second. And you can take one breath, and rest up to 3-4 seconds. The patient notices that already after the first dimming-illumination cycle, vision improves markedly. And after performing several cycles, vision improves very much, immediately on several lines of the test table. The letters become very bright, unusually black, and all the colored objects seem brighter, more saturated, as in a color movie. There is a feeling that before the start of training, the patient saw all the surrounding objects as if painted with diluted paints, and the black color seemed just gray. And after training, the black color seems so black that it was even hard to imagine before. After the first training session, vision improves dramatically in twilight and darkness.

Some color blind people claim that they began to see those colored objects that seemed somehow colorless or of incomprehensible color.

Patients who could not read advertisements with large five-, ten- and more centimeter letters from a distance of 2-3 meters begin to read now very colorful (as they think) billboard advertising for hundreds of meters, and some even for kilometers.

Some patients who could hardly read the headline of the newspaper begin to see and read the smallest font of the newspaper that our printing industry is capable of.

Patients claim that they begin to see much better with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, cataracts, optic atrophy and retinal dystrophy, and that strabismus is even corrected.

Example 3

The patient sits down or lays down, obscures the field of view with a fabric curtain or simply closes the eyelids, or conducts classes in a very dark room, then turning off the lights during classes, then turning on the look-up table when looking at him, and continuously performs breathing exercises. In this case, the darkening of the field of view is carried out for 15-60 seconds, and viewing and reading of the table is carried out from one to 10 seconds (before continuing to improve the vision of this table).

Breathing exercises can be very different. But there are several principles: first, so that the exhalation is much longer than the inhalation, and secondly, it is desirable that the exhalation be somewhat with increased pressure and with resistance to exhalation. The main thing is to increase air exchange, the intensity and frequency of respiration, and the rate of air exchange. Somehow, it is necessary to strengthen and improve the penetration of air oxygen through the alveoli of the lungs (porous vesicles) into the blood vessels. You can exhale air through a tube, including blowing air with a tube through a layer of water.

Singing or whistling your favorite songs, such as Katyusha, or Three Tankers, corresponds to these principles. You can hum vowel sounds such as “aaaa”, “uuuu”, “si-si-si”, “shi-shi-shi”, “pu-pu-pu”, “woo-woo- wo ”,“ ha ha ha ”, buzzing and vibrating sounds such as“ BBC ”,“ Boo-boo-boo ”,“ e-e-ee ”,“ ZZZZZ ”, "Jee-jee." You can breathe like a dog breathes when it is hot. You can breathe slowly, while inhaling with your nose for 2-4 seconds, and exhaling through your nose or mouth for 5-20 seconds.

All these breathing exercises increase blood oxygen saturation and do not cause any health concerns.

The proposed method of vision training allows you to significantly improve visual acuity for several lines of the test table after the first lessons, and then restore completely, or significantly improve your vision with a variety of refractive errors and refuse glasses.

An additional supply of oxygen to the eye tissue due to breathing exercises increases the completeness of the formation of visual pigments, and the darkness increases the rate of this chemical reaction many times over. As a result of all this, black objects become much blacker, vision improves at twilight and darkness, and colored objects become brighter and more saturated.
