As age increases, various physiological functions of the body will undergo degeneration, and the eyes are no exception. Therefore, many middle-aged and elderly people may experience symptoms of not being able to see clearly when reading or doing other close-up work, and these symptoms will worsen with age. This is presbyopia, also known as "aging eyes" in ophthalmology. It is a common eye disease in middle-aged and elderly people, which can cause blurred vision and is not an indication of old age, but a reminder to pay special attention to overall health.
Drink Plenty of Water
Brew white chrysanthemum and wolfberry with boiling water, drink instead of tea, take one dose daily, and continue for 3 months. This has the effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys, and clearing the liver and improving eyesight. It is especially suitable for those with unclear vision due to presbyopia.
Eat More Fruits
According to traditional Chinese medicine, including cataracts, most eye diseases are caused by oxidation. Eating more fruits can have a good relieving effect because fruits are rich in various vitamins and have antioxidant properties.
Regular Eye Examinations
Regularly visit the eye clinic for eye examinations. Some eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, need to be detected and treated promptly. This is especially important for diabetic patients.
Spending Time Outdoors
When you have free time, spend more time outdoors and exercise. Develop good habits and avoid prolonged use of your eyes. This can reduce the time your eyes spend staring at computer screens and televisions, allowing your eyes to get enough rest.
Blink Frequently
Blinking frequently can effectively invigorate the eye muscles, relax the eyeballs, and exercise the eye muscles, which helps alleviate presbyopia. In addition, you can gently rub your eyelids with both hands to increase the moisture of your eyes. Regularly moving your eyes and exercising the eye muscles can speed up blood circulation in the eyes.
Choose the Right Ingredients
According to traditional Chinese medicine, presbyopia is caused by kidney water deficiency and insufficient essence and blood. From a comprehensive understanding of Chinese and Western medicine, foods that are beneficial for vision include black beans, black sesame seeds, lean meat, fish, eggs, milk, liver, as well as spinach, carrots, pumpkins, walnuts, longans, and lychees.
