Of the above treatments, what is the best?

Perhaps we should ask first: Why the eye suffered this damage? Can correct course? If we are not clear what the causes of this condition in the eye, then it is difficult to assess the options to correct it.

In general, both optometrists and ophthalmic surgeons to base their treatments on the assumption that this is a problem only eye, but … they are right?

The shape of the eye lens is based on the shape of the eyeball, which in turn is determined by the degree of tension in the muscles of the eye. In other words, if the eye muscles are very tight, they can “flatten” the eyeball, causing the eye’s lens becomes flatter than desirable.

Precisely for that is the action of the muscles of the eye: the contract, they increase the “zoom” to see objects closely, you can relax and focus on objects farther away.

Unable to relax the eye muscles, then the myopia is the result: Can not focus on distant objects. That is, the muscles of a healthy eye should be able to relax properly. Once knowing this, consider the above treatments:
Treatment for myopia .

The eye muscles are too tight all the time, unable to relax. The optometrist prescribed glasses that you are nothing to reverse the curvature lenses, so now if you can see in the distance … but the underlying problem (the muscles do not relax) is not resolved.

To think that a problem was solved, when in fact they are not often leads to its aggravation.
Treatment for myopia No. 2: Eye Surgery

Here the correction in the curvature of the eye’s natural lens is through surgery. It is assumed that the muscles are no longer going to relax. Run while the muscles may remain under stress.

But if you decide to implement a natural cure to unfasten these muscles, so far the effects of surgery will be counterproductive. Why not use the best natural solution from the beginning?
Treatment for myopia No. 3: natural vision correction

Myopia occurs mainly in young people, and interestingly, on young people who go through periods of great stress. An important clue what is happening is (as we saw above) the taut muscles of the eye affect the ideal curvature of the eyeball should have to function well.

It follows that, in reality, the origin of myopia is not physical. It manifests as a physical mismatch, yes, but its origin is in the mind and the poor handling of emotions and tension (stress).

From this point of view, then, a natural and permanent solution to the problem of myopia would be one that integrates both body and mind. There are exercises to release physical tension of the eye muscles (which we will review in a later article).

But even when you drag them out, if not resolved properly emotional situation that led to the accumulation of stress on that body part, the problem will persist.

Since contact lenses began to be used routinely, about 50 years ago, experts realized that myopes claimed to see better after taking them off. Thus arose the orthokeratology, a method of correcting myopia that modifies the curvature of the eye through the fluid between the cornea and lens. The problem was that no one could sleep with your lenses, so it was not very helpful to keep contact lenses during the day to not need them at night.

But in the twenty-first century have appeared hyperpermeable gas materials that allow the passage of oxygen to the eye during sleep. Thus, contact lenses Ortho-K is aa place to go to bed, hence also known as the lenses pajamas, and the goal is to see or the day without using anything. They are designed to be worn for eight hours, it is estimated that every day you’re sleeping.

The improvement in corneal surveyors also allowed to be designed in a personalized manner to each eye, so do not annoy the … used mostly by children even younger than 12 years, as there are studies that suggest that may help curb the progression of myopia. But also use ….athletes and professionals who need to see well without taking anythingor any person who is unable or unwilling to laser surgery.

The adjustment takes about three months, but from the first night is fixed between and one-half diopter. “If you have three diopters, will take at least a week before take off your glasses,” said Fernando Fernández-Velázquez, myopia center that bears his name. The main feature of these lenses in front of the laser operation is that the process is reversible. In fact, the treatment must continue for life, if you stop using them, the eye returns to its previous state in less than a month. In addition, the lenses do not reduce the thickness of the cornea, which does happen with láser.Orto-K serves up to six diopters of myopia and astigmatism two. The treatment costs between 800 and 1,000 €.

Despite all these innovations, the use of contact lenses still some limitations. For example, they can not use people who have dry eye. The symptoms of this problem are feeling of sand in the eyes, itching and excessive blinking. Attributable to environmental causes (heating, air conditioning, smoke, pollution), hormonal factors (birth control pills or menopause makes it worse), age or even stress. Even the use of computers dry eye, because blink less when we stare at a screen.

Also a bad use of makeup can cause problems in our eyes. Cosmetics often contain fatty substances that enter the eye and destabilize the tear film, altering the lens. José Antonio Aranda Muñoz, National College of Opticians-Optometrists of Spain, recommends using mild products and paint the stripe on the outside of the eye (if you do it on the inside covers the ductless glands). Get contact lenses before makeup and take them off before desmaquillarte.
