Proper nutrition
Better vision starts with the right diet. Including healthy foods on the menu supports eye health. It is recommended to add the following key substances to the diet:

When laser eye surgery is indispensable
Home vision improvement methods are useful for keeping your eyes healthy, but in some cases, laser correction will be much more effective. For example, it is recommended to do it with myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism.
Eye exercises
In addition to proper nutrition, also do special exercises that strengthen the eye muscles and improve visual function:
Massage of the eye muscles: massage the area around the eyes with smooth circular movements for several minutes.
Focus Switching Exercises: Focus on a near subject and then look far away.
Regular breaks and blue light protection
Screen time is detrimental to eye health. Take breaks for 15 minutes every hour to rest. You can do gymnastics at this moment. Screens also emit short-wavelength radiation, the so-called "blue light". Wearing goggles with a special filter will help reduce fatigue.
Consultation with a doctor
Annual diagnostics should become your routine. During the examination, not only visual acuity is measured, but also intraocular pressure, the condition of the cornea. The doctor may recommend taking vitamins - this will be an addition to proper nutrition. If you have dry eye syndrome, do not forget to periodically drip special drops at home as prescribed by your doctor. In case of serious problems, the physician may prescribe laser correction.
Improving your diet, exercising, and consulting a professional can help you improve your vision at home. At the same time, do not forget that laser correction improves the ability to see by 80%, and the result remains stable for 10 years or more.
