Zhdanov's technique for restoring vision. Exercises

Zhdanov's technique, according to reviews, is able to restore vision. Exercise is quite effective for strabismus. Gymnastics relieves fatigue, improves visual acuity and clarity. It is possible to increase the effectiveness of the technique with the help of physiotherapy procedures and drug therapy.

The essence of the technique

Zhdanov's method of restoring vision (exercises require regular performance) is an effective way of myopia and astigmatism. Gymnastics is best done daily. Vladimir Zhdanov is the author of methods that restore vision and relieve addiction (nicotine, alcohol). This method of non-surgical treatment, judging by the reviews of specialists and patients, is quite effective.

Vladimir Zhdanov took the theory of Shichko and Bates as a basis. Ophthalmologists have suggested that eye diseases can be caused by bad habits.

Shichko's staircase looks like this:

• Projection - bad habits and other negative addictions are formed in a person due to his environment.
• Accession - a person has the right to decide independently whether to adhere to public opinion or not.
• Addiction is a person's habit of adhering to a certain algorithm.
• Addiction is a person's need for something.
• Algorithm - a person lives according to a pattern, performing any actions automatically.
• Death is the beginning of a new life, a way to change something.

William Bates suggested that eye diseases develop against the background of loss of elasticity of the eye muscles. The ophthalmologist believed that glasses and lenses would not restore visual acuity. The same theory is adhered to by V. Zhdanov.

One of the main conditions of the technique is keeping a diary. The patient should daily describe the algorithm of the gymnastics and his feelings after it. The diary needs to be re-read periodically - this will allow you to program yourself for a positive expected result.

The technique is effective for people with a high level of suggestibility. If the violation of the functional activity of the eyes occurred against the background of the patient's stay in a prolonged stressful situation, then the method will restore vision in 7-14 days. It will be difficult to achieve a positive effect if you do not exercise daily.

Indications for the application of the technique

Zhdanov's method of restoring vision (exercises must be performed daily) is prescribed in a number of cases.

Gymnastics is essential for people suffering from:

• Strabismus. Pathology is characterized by periodic or permanent deviation of the organ's visual axis. The eye can tilt down, up, towards the temple, or towards the nose. People with strabismus have amblyopia, dizziness, and lingering headaches.
• Astigmatism. In patients, the image is distorted against the background of scattering of light beams caused by a non-spherical or irregular shape of the lens or cornea. The disease is manifested by a decrease in visual acuity, headache, fatigue and dizziness.
• Hyperopia. Hyperopia belongs to the category of refractive disorders, in which the picture is focused in a plane behind the retina. The patient does not clearly see objects in the immediate vicinity. Farsightedness is characterized by headache, rapid fatigue and burning sensation.
• Myopia. Myopia is characterized by an abnormality of refraction. A person is not able to distinguish objects located in the distance. The image is focused in front of the retina. Symptoms of myopia include decreased visual acuity, headache, and visual fatigue.

Patients with various visual impairments who, for whatever reason, do not want to wear lenses or glasses, can use Zhdanov's technique to restore vision. To achieve positive results, the patient must try to get rid of bad habits.

It is important to follow basic safety precautions when exercising. Experts recommend doing gymnastics every day. It is strictly forbidden to independently select a set of exercises without knowing the exact diagnosis.

Contraindications

Zhdanov's method of restoring vision (exercises are quite simple and effective) has a number of contraindications.

These include:

• cataracts;
• retinal detachment;
• diseases of the autoimmune system;
• rehabilitation period after surgery;
• intraocular pressure.

If you experience discomfort during exercise (dizziness, headache, burning eyes), you must immediately stop gymnastics.

Features of the exercise

Zhdanov's method of restoring vision (exercises can be combined with drug therapy) is a non-surgical method for treating eye diseases. First of all, gymnastics helps relieve overvoltage. Motor activity is provided by the eye muscles, so they need to be regularly trained.

Experts recommend doing gymnastics immediately after waking up and before going to bed. You need to repeat the exercises several times, performing 3-5 approaches. The lenses must be removed in advance.

Method according to V. Zhdanov does not mean doing just gymnastics. It includes 7 complexes, designed for 7 days. Experts recommend starting treatment with palming.

Exercise scheme by day of the week:

• Monday - palming;
• Tuesday - gymnastic exercises;
• Wednesday - solarization;
• Thursday - massage;
• friday - "pirate glasses"
• Saturday - commit;
• resurrection - focusing.

Before starting treatment, it is necessary to carefully study the basic principles of the technique.

Exercises

Method according to V. Zhdanov includes solarization and massage. Some activities (massage, palming) require preliminary preparation.

Palming

Palming helps relieve stress. The main principle of the technique is the execution of chaotic movements of the eyeballs. The organs of vision should be isolated from the sun, lamps, computer monitor and other light sources for a while. To ensure complete darkness, you need to cover your eyes with your palms. During the day, the exercise must be performed 5-7 times. The duration of one session is 3-5 minutes.

Before starting to palming, a person must master visualization. He needs to learn how to imagine bright objects against a black background. With the power of thought, you need to make the subject completely merge with the black background. The patient needs to properly prepare for the session. The palms rub against each other for 45-60 seconds. The lenses must be removed from the eyes in advance. The palms are folded in a boat and applied to the eyes. The fingers should be tightly closed.

It is advisable to perform the exercise while lying or sitting. The body should be as relaxed as possible. The elbows are placed on pillows or knees. You don't need to gaze into the darkness. It is important to mentally place a bright object in the distance and focus attention on it. The exercise is successfully completed if the light flashes that flickered at first disappear completely.

Palming algorithm:

• rub their palms and close their eyes;
• mentally arrange objects on a black background;
• remember something pleasant, trying to breathe evenly and measuredly;
• mentally paint over a bright object black so that it merges with the background completely.

After completing the exercise, you need to open your eyes for a few seconds and close them again. The harsh light can make them watery.

Gymnastics

Exercising your eyes is an effective way to relieve fatigue. A number of exercises are performed in the morning and in the evening.

Necessary:

• Blink at a fast pace for 2 minutes, then take a break for 30 seconds. and repeat the exercise.
• Roll a small ball out of plasticine and stick it to the glass. Select an object in the distance, peer at it for a few seconds and turn your gaze sharply to the plasticine point. You need to repeat the exercise 2-3 times.
• Sit on a chair with your back straight. Close your eyes for 3-5 seconds, then open them sharply. Perform the exercise 5-8 times.
• Draw a circle with your eyes clockwise and look to the left. Then draw a circle counterclockwise and look to the right.
• Draw a square, triangle, rhombus and rectangle with your eyes.
• Draw a convex and concave friend with your eyes.
• Mentally circle the figure eight or the infinity sign several times.

With your eyes, you can draw various shapes - bows, stars, spheres, geometric shapes. Gymnastics must be performed by people who often and a lot of work at the computer. After completing the exercises, you need 30-40 seconds. sit quietly with your eyes closed.

Solarization

Solarization is another method of restoring vision. It was developed and tested by William Bates. The main principle of solarization is the treatment of the retina with artificial or natural light. Thanks to solarization, the muscles work more actively, the circulation is enhanced, the retina is strengthened. The procedure allows to prevent the development of diseases of the organs of vision, characterized by inflammation. You can train your eyesight in sunlight by doing simple exercises.

Necessary:

• In sunny weather, stand on the shore of the reservoir and for 10-15 minutes. look at the glare on the water.
• Stand with one half of the body in the shadow (for example, right). Slowly swinging left and right, they close their eyes (the right eye should be in the shadow, and the left one in the sun).
• Stand by the window, closing your eyes, slowly turning your head to the right or left by 90 °.

You can watch the sunset and sunrise. Many experts recommend gradually accustoming your eyes to bright lighting. Artificial sources are also used for solarization. For exercise, you must purchase a 150W lamp in advance. Also, the eyes are trained with a candle. It is installed in a dark room at eye level a meter from the face. It is recommended to look at the flame at an angle of 30-45 °.

People who are practicing the method for the first time need to familiarize themselves with the precautions:

• Before looking at the sun, you need to close your eyes. The first time, until they get used to it, you need to look at a bright light, blinking often.
• If solarization is carried out on the shore of a reservoir, then you need to lower your feet into cool water.
• Experts recommend installing a candle or lamp for beginners at a distance of 110-130 cm. It is necessary to bring the devices closer to the eyes gradually.

After solarization, be sure to rinse your face with cool water and 10-15 minutes. sit with open eyes in a dark room.

Massage

Eye massage helps fight fatigue and eye diseases caused by dysfunction of the oculomotor muscles. Massaging improves the flow of lymph and blood, normalizes intraocular pressure.

Massage is contraindicated for people suffering from:

• diseases characterized by poor blood clotting;
• tuberculosis;
• oncology;
• dermatitis;
• neurological disorders.

It is necessary to properly prepare for the massage of the eyeball. First of all, dirt and decorative cosmetics are removed from the skin. To do this, use micellar water or any cleansing gel. Hands should be washed with warm water and soap. It is advisable to massage with warm fingers.

After the procedure, the receptors should be activated. Massage experts recommend starting with warming up the palms. They are intensively rubbed against each other and applied to the eyes for 10-15 seconds. Use the pads of the index fingers to smooth out the skin of the upper eyelid with light pressure.

Lymphatic drainage massage has also proven itself well:

• lightly press on the upper and lower eyelids with the pads of the middle and index fingers;
• perform circular movements clockwise for 60 seconds;
• cover the eye with three fingers and lightly press on it.

Also, according to reviews, shiatsu massage helps to restore visual acuity. The technique was developed by Takihuro Nakimashi. Shiatsu massage can be considered an alternative to acupressure. The pads of the middle and index fingers alternately press on the inner and outer corner of the eye. The position can be fixed for 5-7 seconds.

"Pirate glasses"

This method of vision restoration was developed by Yu. A. Utekhin. The method allows you to fight fatigue. The technique is suitable for people who spend a lot of time at the computer or watching TV. The main goal of the technique is to prevent the process of converging the visual axes into one plane. Covering one eye all the time while reading or watching TV is rather inconvenient, so experts offer an alternative - “pirate glasses”.

The device is not difficult to make yourself. It is enough to wrap one lens with a bandage or cloth. You can also paint the glass with several coats of black paint. Shielding the right or left eye helps to simplify the work of the part of the brain that is responsible for visual perception. Exercise helps with myopia. In "pirate glasses" you can read a book. You need to keep it at arm's length.

Every 3-5 minutes. the book is brought to the eyes as close as possible. To train the oculomotor muscles, it is necessary to read a newspaper or magazine using the above method for 15-25 minutes. You need to screen the eyes one by one. Also, the technique will help get rid of hyperopia. You also need to read a book with glasses. Only place it as close to the face as possible.

Locking and focusing

This method is based on training the ability to concentrate on an object. You need to perform the exercise while standing by the window. In the distance, with a glance, you need to find an object of small size. Within 45-60 sec. It is necessary to look at it steadily, then blink several times and look at the window frame. The exercise must be repeated 3-5 times.

Focusing is another method of restoring visual acuity. It is suitable for people suffering from myopia and hyperopia. The gaze must be focused on an object in close proximity. They look at the object without looking up for 30-45 seconds, then look at another object in the distance. It is advisable to perform the exercise 2-3 times a day. It is better to plan training facilities in advance.

What can be supplemented with exercises?

Zhdanov's technique helps restore vision. Exercises are performed clearly according to the instructions.

To speed up the healing process, in combination with solarization, massage and gymnastics, they use:

• hardware treatment;
• special devices (night lenses, glasses);
• drug therapy.

Each method has a number of advantages and disadvantages.

Hardware treatment

Apparatus treatment is understood as a number of procedures that can have a complex effect on the organs of vision.

The therapy has several advantages:

• no need to prepare for treatment;
• absence of scars, scars and other deformations of the skin;
• no restrictions in the form of a ban on driving a car, visiting public places.

Usually, hardware treatment is prescribed for the following pathologies:

• dystrophy, retinal detachment;
• spasm of accommodation;
• strabismus;
• asthenopia;
• hyperopia;
• myopia.

Apparatus treatment allows you to restore visual acuity without surgery. Correction can only be prescribed by an ophthalmologist after a detailed examination. The duration of treatment is selected on an individual basis.

In advanced cases, the ophthalmologist may prescribe laser intervention. The operation is not performed on children under 18 years of age.

Hardware correction methods include:

• Visotronic sessions. With the help of a special device, the ophthalmologist relieves visual fatigue, treats myopia and eliminates the spasm of accommodation. According to reviews, vision becomes clearer after the third session.
• The device "Trickle". The device is used in the treatment of myopia and presbyopia. The method eliminates the spasm of accommodation and relieves fatigue.

Despite the relative safety, the methods of hardware correction have a number of contraindications.

They assign Visotronic sessions to people suffering from:

• divergent strabismus;
• lesions of the optic nerve and retina;
• inflammatory diseases of the organs of vision.

General contraindications for hardware correction:

• epilepsy;
• pathology of infectious etiology;
• growth of malignant neoplasms;
• diseases of an inflammatory nature;
• neuropsychiatric disorders.

In diseases of the retina, hardware correction is not prescribed.

Night lenses

Wearing night lenses can also be attributed to non-surgical correction methods. The technique was patented in 2002. in the USA. Night lenses "work" quite simply. In 10-15 minutes. before going to bed, take them out of the container and put them on. For people who have not previously worn lenses, the first 48-72 hours may experience unpleasant sensations that go away on their own. Lenses help to restore the shape of the cornea.

They are usually prescribed to children with the following pathologies:

• myopia of the progressive type;
• astigmatism;
• hyperopia.

The selection of night lenses should be carried out individually by an ophthalmologist. The specialist carefully examines the patient and conducts a number of diagnostic measures. According to reviews, one hundred percent vision clarity is restored after 14-20 days of continuous use of orthokeratological lenses. The only condition is that sleep should last at least 8 hours.

Drugs

Patients suffering from diseases of the organs of vision should regularly take vitamin complexes containing components useful for the eyes.

Conventionally, drugs can be divided into several categories in terms of composition:

• combined;
• containing carotenoids;
• containing blueberry extract.

The above components act as active ones. The auxiliary vitamins include E, C, B, A and various trace elements. In the treatment of hyperopia, myopia and other pathologies characterized by a decrease in visual acuity, vitamin-mineral complexes, which contain beta-carotene and lutein.

Medicines help relieve fatigue and restore the quality of color transfer.

Popular and effective vitamin and mineral complexes:

• Blueberry-forte. The drug is marketed in pill form. The active ingredients are blueberry extract and vitamin E. With regular use, the drug helps to strengthen the walls of blood vessels and improve visual functions.

  

• Complies with Ophthalmo. The active ingredients are zeaxanthin, lutein, zinc, copper, vitamins PP, C, B, A, E. the vitamin and mineral complex restores visual acuity and eliminates the characteristic symptoms of fatigue.
• Lutein Evalar. The active ingredients are zinc, lutein, vitamins B6, B2, B1, A. The vitamin-mineral complex can be used as a prophylactic agent against diseases of the organs of vision, characterized by clouding of the lens.

It is strictly forbidden to independently select drugs. They are prescribed by a doctor after an accurate diagnosis has been made.

Zhdanov's method of restoring vision is a fairly effective and safe way. Exercise can be done several times a day. Before starting treatment according to V. Zhdanov needs to consult an ophthalmologist.
