Such a load does not experience any other sensory organ. Eyes are “working” continuously without a break for lunch. Our lives are surrounded by displays only added visual load.

When working on your computer look chained to the monitor. Natural mobility of the eye is severely limited. We blink 3 times less often than usual. Eyes can not relax in their blood circulation, increasing their fatigue. It is well known that strain the eyes affects the physical and mental condition of a person and can be 90% lower ability to think and concentrate. What to do? Just a little care of their eyes.

Nature has given us a unique opportunity – to see the "misty outline of the blue mountains … sunset clouds pink pattern, the sea tract, the native land space. And all this thanks to the eye – one of the most unusual, most tender and delicate organs of the human body.

Sometimes even a little of his injury may lead to terrible – loss of vision.

How can injure the eye?

Unfortunately, very simple. Ophthalmologist celebrate an amazing eye’s ability to capture all the flying in his direction objects: pieces of metal, corks from champagne, stones, balls, splinters, pencils. All this with the inexplicable persistence hits the forehead or cheek, not in the nose or chin, not in the eyebrow, and right in the eye. You can injure the eyes of many everyday items – those that are always at hand. For example, a fork or screwdriver.

Very heavy damage to the eye as a result of being hit by chemicals. You will never happen to a person hold spray if he did not want to be sprayed? But it is the case of tragedy. Especially if the bottle was a child. It did not come, that the powder in the box labeled "Bleach" can not be tried and even more so – to smear on the face. Yes, indeed, any object in their hands a little mischievous becomes potentially dangerous to the eyes.

And who else but we adults tell them that the scissors, screwdriver, knife or other sharp object can send itself in the face or run with him in her arms? A ski and ski poles to move only in a case, not waving them if a number of people? Special talk about fireworks, fireworks, party poppers and other similar entertainment. The best guarantee of security – when the children enjoy them with you. Cheap "fire" Toys are usually of low quality, which means – are dangerous.

But children pneumatic guns are extremely dangerous for the eyes, regardless of quality. Frighteningly, that they are sold anywhere and without any restrictions. Small plastic bullets only seem harmless. Once in the eye, this "baby" can destroy it. Ophthalmologists simply beg parents not to make children such sinister gifts. And if you already have a toy gun in the arsenal of your child, teach him, firstly, in any case not build a barrel on yourself and others, and secondly, to shoot only from a distance.

How dangerous eye injury?

All depends on how serious it is. Speck of dust gets in the eye – it is also trauma, only minimal. Bruising same or contusion of the eyeball can cause blindness. At eye injury in the first place to suffer its optical instrument – the cornea and vitreous body. But the most serious consequences – when a damaged retina or optic nerve. It happens that after the trauma of a tiny section of the eye disease process extends to the whole body.

What to do, where to flee?

Try as soon as possible to get to the doctor. Suppose you do not stop the pain has passed and you can blink, not feeling the strain. The trouble is that the eye can see to stop after a few days or even weeks after the injury. To the damaged eye should suffer less, it must cover a clean gauze bandage, pre spoil albutsid. Eye caustic chemical it must be immediately rinse under a strong jet of water. Then eye drops some liquid oil (liquid paraffin, sunflower). What will the doctor? Everything depends on the nature of injury.

If my eye small metallic foreign body and does not penetrate deep into tissue, it immediately removed with a magnet. But when the injury is more serious, the patient undergoes a comprehensive diagnosis, which include x-ray, ultrasound and eyes, and computed tomography. Be sure to check the function of the retina. Often the patient needs emergency care.Modern microsurgical technique allows intervention in any part of the eye. For the treatment of traumatic retinal detachment today uses a unique method – laser coagulation, when the laser beam "sticks" exfoliated area. Often after a serious injury required repeat surgery.

Alas, sometimes the injury is so severe that the full restoration of view, it was no longer attending. In such cases, even partial recovery could be considered his good fortune.

Children’s faces change as they grow older, and it must be considered when choosing glasses.

The representatives of the youngest age category of person can be almost circular, and eyes – is located close to each other, with the nose they have plenty of flat and low, which may lead to certain difficulties in the selection of frames.

Choosing and fitting frames

Due to the fact that the maximum weight of the finished spectacles on the bridge have to, it is necessary to make the selection of frames, ensuring maximum fit the so-called bridge (nose) frames in this place. Manufacturers frames today can offer you a variety of samples with elastic bridges, well adjacent to the nose. If you choose a metal or a combination frame with adjustable nosouporami need to stay on the elastic nosouporah size for optimal weight distribution.

As they get older, a child’s nose becomes higher and narrower, so for the best fit points, correct planting should be more frequent replace them – it is recommended to do this at least once a year. Adolescents tend to stop the choice on the mountings of the adult collections, but this choice of optician must verify the size and landing frame. Unfortunately, in this case are often faced with the desire of teenagers to sacrifice in the name of the correct planting fashion design. The teenager would prefer that a frame that does not quite fit his size, but which, in his opinion, it looks better. Do not go with him on occasion, but try to explain the possible negative effects of wearing this frame.

The key to proper selection of frames for children of any age is its frontal width. For young clients with a broad face and a small interpupillary distance is necessary to choose a frame with a good landing, providing minimal decentration of spectacle lenses. You should always try to choose frames, spacing on centers which corresponds to the maximum interpupillary distance of the child. Decentration spectacle lenses for 5 mm can lead, depending on the recipe to thicken the film thickness in the temporal or nasal part and finally – to increase the weight of points.

We need to pay attention to the design and length of the ear hook. Regardless of the chosen design earhook – whether standard or flexible – of fundamental importance to its correct length. Note that the Temples should not put pressure on the lateral surface of the head – but only on the upper part of the ear. Correct length and fit ear hook provide a comfortable wearing glasses and the stability of their position on the face. Longer elastic Temples, give stability for the ear, are recommended for mobile children of any age, but especially for kids.Strong fleksovye joints are considered mandatory for children’s frames, they provide a good fit and durability of glasses.

Development of new production technology and strong while light and hypoallergenic materials for the frames much easier choice of frames for children. Metal frames for a long time were leading in the manufacture of points of the buyers of all ages, including children. An excellent choice for children’s glasses frames are made of titanium, as they are very strong, lightweight, durable and hypoallergenic. Frames made of stainless steel in its properties to compete with titanium and are also a good choice for children’s glasses. Still widely available frames of monel, but keep in mind the recommendations of these frames of a possible allergy to nickel. Very popular in the manufacture of children’s glasses are plastic frames (mostly from cellulose acetate), which are represented in a wide variety of colors and designs. These frames can easily be customized, they are accessible and easy to use. It is also recommended frames on the basis of polyamides, which are very strong and flexible, but the truth, more difficult to fit and assembly.

The choice of material of spectacle lenses

Children of any age are very active, they are attracted to a wide variety of games and sports, which makes them more susceptible to injuries. To prevent eye injuries is recommended to use for young users of the glass lenses of the most durable and resistant to shock loads of materials – polycarbonate and trayveksa.

Polycarbonate was opened in 1955, but the beginning of its actual use in ophthalmic optics refers to the end of 1970. The drastic improvement of physico-mechanical and optical properties of polycarbonate in particular has been achieved as a result of its use for the production of CD-ROMs, and now the optical properties of this material is not inferior to other types of plastics. The use of polycarbonate for the production of ophthalmic lenses due to its following advantages: excellent impact resistance (more than 10 times the performance of traditional plastics – CR-39), a high refractive index, ease (specific gravity – 1.20 g/cm3), effective protection against UV radiation (the beginning of transmission in the UV region – from 380 nm) and thermal stability (melting temperature – 140 ° C).

At the same time as the rest vysokoprelomlyayuschie materials, polycarbonate is characterized by low resistance to abrasive wear and requires the mandatory application of hardening coatings. Abbe its low, indicating a chromatic aberration, but it does not deliver considerable inconvenience to users. Staining spectacle lenses made of polycarbonate is achieved through the introduction of dyes from solution in the material hardening coatings and the coatings are applied in the same way as in the lenses of other plastics. Today, the assortment of lenses made of polycarbonate is extremely wide, many manufacturers supplying the market monofokalnye, bifocal, progressive lenses, as well as photochromic and polarizing.

Trayveks (Trivex), developed by «PPG Industries» in 2000, was specially modified and adapted for the optical output. From the standpoint of chemical terminology trayveks called "kvazireaktoplast. The material consists of macromolecules of the individual spatial relationships – cross-linking, which allows him to combine the positive properties of thermoplastics and thermosets. Although the magnitude of the refractive index trayveks refers to materials with the average values of this parameter (ne = 1,53), many see it as a promising organic material of the future. The reason for this is the triad of his positive qualities: resistance to shock loads such as a polycarbonate, a high Abbe number – from 43 to 46 (while a polycarbonate 29-31), the proportion of 1.11 g/cm3, makes trayveks one of the easiest to date materials. It should be noted also that the new material is securely blocks ultraviolet to 394 nm.

The pioneers in the manufacture of lenses from the company are trayveksa «HOYA Vision Care» (glass lenses «Phoenix», or «PNX» in Europe) and «Younger Optics» (glass lenses «Trilogy»). Third was the company «Thai Optical Group», firing glass lenses «Exelite TVX». Last year, this trio had joined the company «Augen Optics» lenses «Trinity», represented in the U.S. and Latin America, the company «Shamir Insite», created the progressive glass lenses «Genesis», and the company «Danae», released the in Slovakia and Czech glass lenses from trayveksa called «Optimax». The range of different design and implementation of ophthalmic lenses of the new material is steadily expanding – so this year the company «Younger Optics» introduced in the market photochromic glass lenses «Transitions V ESP».

Lenses from manufacturing companies

Currently, many manufacturers produce glass lenses, designed specifically for children. For example, «Rodenstock» has a range of glass lenses, designed to make it child points – notably the small-diameter glass lenses, and bifocals lenses «Excellit AS», recommended for the treatment of strabismus in children. These glass lenses have a larger segment of 40 mm and specially chosen by a doctor during treatment with accommodative convergent strabismus. For the production of ophthalmic lenses used organic materials, they have small diameters – from 60 to 40 mm, and their prismatic structure is designed just for small frames, a result that ensures the safety and maximum ease of children’s glasses. By sector spectacle lenses special medical supplies for children from the product range the company «Rodenstock» can be attributed, and lenticular glass lenses aspherical design, the so-called imperceptible transition – it is about spectacle lenses «Perfastar 1.5» and «Lentilux 1.7», for the correction high degrees of ametropia. The main advantage of such glass lenses is very useful field of view and the lack of a ring scotoma, which makes it possible to install these glass lenses in a variety of frames.

Company «Carl Zeiss» also recommends that the opticians to pick up children’s glasses and lighter collapsible organic glass lenses. In particular, in the range of products the company has special glass lenses with a diameter of 50-55 mm «Clarlet Mini», which are most suitable for children.

The company «LTL SpA» special program on glass lenses for children. We know that children today spend much time in front of computer monitors and television screens, so the company has created special glass lenses for computer users «Suprema Eye Guard». These glass lenses are aspheric design and manufactured with diameters 65 and 70 mm. They are in steady demand in the Middle East, many Arab countries, as well as in Europe.

Company «Optima Inc.» Offers for children’s glasses polycarbonate glass lenses «Resolution» positive refractions special design. Because of its technology, all glass lenses «Resolution» produced a diameter of 76 mm, but especially for children’s glasses were proposed lenticular glass lenses with an effective diameter of 63 mm. These glass lenses are available in a range of refractions to 3.0 diopters.

Company «Younger Optics» recommends for children’s glasses glass lenses «Trilogy» of trayveksa that successfully combines high impact resistance and Traumatic with low weight and high optical properties. A photochromic glass lenses «Transitions» of trayveksa provide reliable protection bodies of children from blinding brightness of the visible sunlight and harmful UV radiation. Especially for children who need bifocal correction, the company «Younger Optics» offers bifocals lenses «Multiseg flat top 45" – with a wide segment of 45 mm.These ophthalmic lenses is not offset segment, and in children’s mountings they represent almost Franklin bifocals lens with wide field of vision for distance and near.

The company «Indo International» has its own special glass lenses for children – «Superkid» of material superfayn (Superfin) with a refractive index of 1.523. This material is a proprietary company, it is 50% stronger than CR-39, 25% thinner and lighter than him. Lenses «Superkid» refractions made in a range from 0,0 to – 6,0 diopters, with Cyl 2,0 diopters, 60 mm in diameter and are extremely resistant to scratching coating «SuperDurkap».

In turn, the company «Thai Optical Group» recommended for children’s glasses most collapsible glass lenses «Excelite TVX» trayveks of organic material, in the range of its products have lenses with diameters of 55 and 60 mm, which are well suited for children’s frames.

In a wide range of polycarbonate spectacle lenses "Tilium" company «BBGR» have glass lenses and 60 mm in diameter, which are recommended for the manufacture of children’s glasses. The main advantage of polycarbonate spectacle lenses – their exceptional shock resistance, making them the first choice of eyeglass lenses with spectacle correction of vision in children. In addition, children spend a lot of time outdoors, so they need to protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation, which also provides ophthalmic lenses "Tilium.

Company «Novisia» proposes to make children’s points of its most secure polycarbonate glass lenses «Nikon Moving».

Company «Hoya Lens Europe» is considered the best choice for children’s glasses lens «PNX» trayveksa of which exceed the glass lenses from CR-39 for shock resistance and quality, provide a greater level of protection from injury. On order with the help of software HOYALOG can order prescription spectacle lenses of any diameter, suitable for even the youngest consumers.

Company «Essilor International» has developed a special program on children’s glass lenses, which (though not all) have already been submitted and a Russian distributors. The company has various kinds of glass lenses for children, in particular polycarbonate glass lenses «Airwear» Coated «Trio», glass lenses «ORMA» 55 mm in diameter, with a special abrasive resistant coating and UV protected. It is important to understand the need for mandatory protection of the child’s eyes from ultraviolet radiation, as the lens it more permeable to these harmful rays than adults. All children under the program «Essilor International» divided into three age groups: 0-5, 6-10 and 11-15 years, and for each group recommends specific types of products.

After making new glasses for their children, be sure to ask the sales assistant to explain the rules of care. This will keep glasses in good condition and increase their service life.

No one will argue that the knee strike and damage the eyes – the concept is not comparable.

The second is much more dangerous and sometimes entails a much more serious than bruises or bumps, wrote a small.

Our consultant – Chief Pediatric Ophthalmologist General Directorate of Health in Kiev, head of the Children’s Department of the Center of Eye Microsurgery Elena Lepikhova.

Anyone can injure the eye at any age, and methods of first aid that the child that adults are the same. To a critical moment not lose courage and know how to act, remember the main points of the emergency eye care. "

Eyewinker

Intraorbital foreign body (speck, a grain of sand, feather) entering the eye, usually ends up under the lower or upper eyelid. Do not rub the eye or attempt to remove the speck with a handkerchief or a piece of bandage. Sami also did not notice, you can injure the conjunctiva (the upper layer of the outer shell of the eye).

What to do? Blinked a few seconds, perhaps speck vyplyvet with tears. If not, rinse the affected eye. Take anti-inflammatory anti-infective: 0,002% solution dekametoksina, levomitsetin or 20% solution albutsida and pipette. Incessantly bury 3-5 drops 5-7 times in a row. If the hand did not have any of the necessary drugs, regular use boiled water, in extreme cases – the water from the tap. After several procedures, turned his eyes from side to side to steer foreign body "in the beginning. However, while you may think that the speck is still there, but it is not: just left feeling the presence of a foreign body. But if the next day you will still feel uncomfortable – the eyes reddened and tears, then immediately go to the ophthalmologist.

Warning: Before washing the draw back unto his thumb and forefinger: a drop should fall directly in the eye slit.

Chemical burn

Experts believe the chemicals are very dangerous to the eyes. And to them, of course, applies to all such peaceful and familiar household chemicals. Unfortunately, quite often the cause of injury becomes disinfectant baths or washing dishes.

If the conjunctiva gets glue, acid or alkali, is a bad burn. Sooner remove the remnants of these substances from the surface of the eye, the less serious the consequences would be.

What to do? Immediately call an ambulance, but before the arrival of doctors wash eyes with plenty of water. If you know exactly what has got into the eye (or have the opportunity to read about it on the label means), then rinse should: with acid burns – an alkaline solution and alkaline – acidic.

There are three ways lavage: a pipette, a syringe without a needle or directly from a cup (if you do not have either the first or second), and then have to spoil the eyes anti-inflammatory drug, from top to put a piece of folded in several layers bintika and fix the tape.

Cat’s Claw

Every doctor will confirm that a cat scratches – a dangerous thing. If only affected the outer membrane of the eye, a wound for a long time and do not heal. And if claw touched the eye deeper, an instant infection and rapidly developing inflammation. The fact that the tip of claw accumulated an incredible amount of pathogenic microorganisms.

What to do? Spoil anti-infective agent, put a bandage (a bandage) and immediately turn to the ophthalmologist.

Blow finger

If you hit a weak, okay. And if strong, it may suffer internal eye area – the average shell, fitted with a large number of vessels, and without destroying the integrity of the outer casing.

What to do? "If, after a severe impact, the pain persists for several hours, and the" image "was vague, immediately go to a specialist.

Tears in the wind

If you are on the street begin to tear his eyes, do not worry, it’s normal. Tear – a natural protective environment, watches over her eyes from the cold, wind, solar rays.

But if the eyes water in the room, this is not normal. Possible cause – congestion lacrimal canal. In newborns and infants from birth is slim pereponochka covering the lacrimal canal, and after a while it disappears by itself or after washing. In older children and adults with problems of obstruction may occur due to inflammation or trauma endured and eliminated in most cases, surgically.

Allergy to …

In addition to skin rash, cough and snotty nose, allergies can manifest itself in the form of conjunctivitis – inflammation of the thin outer shell. Cope with allergic conjunctivitis will help you tandem allergist and ophthalmologist.

Computer eye strain

This term exists in theory but in practice few of its uses. Computer Fatigue Syndrome – a composite image and includes a few points:

When the continuous operation of the computer, these "costs of production" leads to excessive fatigue, poor sleep, memory, appetite, dizziness and increased irritability. To avoid health problems, ophthalmologists advised to monitor for adult and 45 minutes, a child – 15, after which necessarily take a break for 15-20 minutes. "Time Out" need, above all, the eyes, so the TV and a book – not the best way to relax. It is desirable to lie down or sit with eyes closed for 5-7 minutes, massaging the eye pads of fingers, do gymnastics: turned his eyes from side to side, up – down, diagonally.

Anatomy of the eye

Our eye is composed of three shells:

"The natural lens" eyes

This is the lens. It is transparent, elastic – can change its shape, almost instantaneously "when moving the focus" on any subject near and far. Located in the capsule, behind the cornea and the "bag" with liquid. The lens, like the cornea, is included in the optical system of the eye.

Many of the problems associated with vision, can be easily treated if they are identified early and properly treated.

According to the World Health Organization, nearly 20% of preschool children in developed countries and one in four schoolchildren have vision problems, which, if left untreated, can lead to significant and / or irreversible loss of vision.

The more important time to notice signs of deterioration of vision or any signs of possible vision problems in the future. Consult with your child to the eye doctor, if he has observed the following symptoms:

Strabismus

It happens in about 4% of children. This is one of the eye usually looks straight while the other – left, right, up or down. Strabismus can be congenital or develop in childhood. It is treated, usually with the help of glasses or surgery. If strabismus is not treated, then it can lead to poor vision or other eye problems.

Amblyopia ( "lazy eye")

From Amblyopia affects about 2% of children, often a consequence of strabismus. In this issue, one eye weaker than the other, and the brain "overlaps" the image acquired from the weaker eye. In patients with amblyopia absent binocular vision – the ability to properly compare the two images of both eyes into one. This capability is essential to be able to evaluate the depth, ie what the object in sight is out how. When amblyopia is not possible. It is treated amblyopia with glasses, surgery or plaster, glued on top of a strong eye. If left untreated, amblyopia can lead to loss of vision, first in the weak eye, and then in the strong. Human visual system is fully developed in 9.11 years. Before this age children’s visual system adapts to breaches of suppression of vision in the visual image obtained from the patient’s eyes. If you detect amblyopia at the time, its cause can be corrected, and sight restored. However, after approximately 11 years is very difficult, if at all possible, teach the brain to use the sick eye in a normal mode.

The signs of amblyopia. Impaired vision in one or both eyes, swerve or closing one eye while reading or watching TV, squint, turn or tilt their heads when looking at the subject.

Myopia (nearsightedness)

In young children, myopia is rare. Most often it occurs in school when the child begins to see distant objects poorly, while close objects sees well. Depending on the degree of myopia myopia can be corrected glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.

Symptoms of myopia. Poor eyesight when looking at distant objects, frequent headaches, increased eye fatigue when watching long distance (eg, during sports games).

Hyperopia (farsightedness)

Children with hyperopia can see distant objects well, but not clearly see objects up close. A small degree of farsightedness is normal in young children. In more severe farsightedness usually require the wearing of glasses.

The main symptoms of farsightedness: poor near vision, eye fatigue when reading, eye strain at work (headaches, burning eyes), frequent inflammatory eye disease.

Conjunctivitis (red eyes)

Young children are usually the cause of conjunctivitis is a viral or bacterial infection. Among older children the reason may also be an allergy. Typically conjunctivitis have the following symptoms: redness of eyelids, excessive tearing and discharge from the eye. For the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis oculists prescribe special drops or ointment to the eye.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism – This is the most common cause of low vision, often accompanied by nearsightedness or farsightedness. His reason is the irregular shape of the cornea (the front of the eye), the result can be blurred vision. Depending on the degree of astigmatism, the child usually prescribed glasses, astigmatism can also be corrected with contact lenses or refractive surgery. If a child is only a small degree of astigmatism, it can not ignore it or suffer only a few blurry vision. Sometimes uncorrected astigmatism can cause frequent headaches or fatigue of eyes with visual load.

Prevention of deterioration

If we talk about how to prevent loss of vision, it is very important good illumination of the place where the child is. If he plays, look books, paints – have to be enough light! And be sure to observe the correct distance between eyes and book, or drawing – 25-30 cm

To save a child’s view, it is important to limit the stay in front of TV or computer. Preschoolers can watch TV no more than half an hour a day and a minimum distance of 3 meters, and the room have to be a weak spot – it is impossible to watch in complete darkness. Beginning with school-age can watch and an hour, but it’s intermittent. If a child is assigned points, it must not only read and watch TV wearing glasses and wear them all the time. Children prescribed glasses only for continuous wear. As for computers, up to three years of dealing with them should be deleted. From three to seven years, can hold no more than 20 minutes before the display, and not more than twice a week. After 7 years – 1 hour a day or two approaches for 40 minutes. And at the same distance from the screen should be at least 60-70 cm from time to time should do exercises for the eyes – slow eye movements: left, right, up, down, diagonally and in a circle, run for 2 minutes. Do not skimp when choosing a monitor: Choose a monitor with high refresh rate, with great resolution and a small step arrangement of points.

Eye injuries in children

Often children come eye injuries. In the first place are injuries inflicted by sharp objects. All parents of young children should be thoroughly clean scissors, pencils, needles and all, than a child can damage your eyes.

Buy your child sunglasses

If the doctor insists that a child needs glasses, parents should choose the most suitable pair.

Choose a suitable material. Lenses made from polycarbonate – durable, lightweight and unbreakable material – are the best choice for your child. However, polycarbonate is easily scratched, so you should choose glasses with a special coating that protects the lens from scratches.

Points should be comfortable. Earpiece should be sufficiently flexible. Points should not be rubbing your nose or crawl. For children from 1 to 4 years should choose sunglasses with no arches, but with strings or tape around the head.

If the child is old enough, let him choose a frame. The more a child like design points, the more comfortable he will feel in them, and the more eager to wear them.

To maintain good vision requires regular visits to an eye doctor for a child who is experiencing any eye problems, follow-up visit with a doctor should be held not less than 1 time in 6 months. We hope that the implementation of these precautions will help prevent your child’s visual impairment.

Points simulators, for all their simplicity, are an effective means of disease prevention, eye care and preserving eye health for many years.

Glasses simulators represent a normal metal or plastic frame in which the inserted opaque black plate spherical shape with rows of small round holes. Wearing such glasses instead of the normal corrective glasses, people with any degree of nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism can clearly see all the surrounding objects and small enough to read text.

Sunglasses simulators are universal – they are suitable for people with any visual acuity and any distance between the centers of the eyes, it is only important to choose the correct frame on the face – so that the glasses were sitting tight on the nose but not too tight.

Glasses simulators are prophylactic for impairment, accompanied by excessive voltage of body

When applied

With persistent training can partially recover visual acuity.

How do glasses-trainers?

Mechanism of action points based on the physical laws of light and features of the anatomical structure of the eye. The weakening of view is due to the abnormal functioning of the eye muscles that change the thickness of the lens of the eye. In normal operation, the eye muscles image objects forming the lens, working as a lens on the retina, and we see a sharp image. When overvoltage any muscular images of objects shifted and does not coincide with the retina.

As a result, there are:

To correct the traditional view of Ophthalmology offers no treatment of such defects of vision, and just compensation in the form of glasses or contact lenses.

Using the same points of simulators will offload strained eye muscles and the right to download weakened, which leads to an increase in visual acuity without significant effort.

How to use goggles simulator?

Points-trainers should be worn instead of the normal corrective glasses for 30-40 minutes a day. After wearing the glasses-simulators eyes for several minutes to adapt to new conditions of visual perception and reduce the brightness of the image. Then his eyes become accustomed, and image clarity is as high as when wearing corrective glasses.

Glasses wearing trainers recommended for patients with impaired vision, children, schoolchildren and students to relieve tension of the eye muscles after a work related to the increased visual activity. Daily use of points-of simulators for 30-40 minutes helps to eliminate cramping or fatigue of the eye muscles, reduces the risk of further deterioration of vision, and in some cases leads to better vision. People with normal vision, have been under constant visual load, the use of points-of simulators is recommended as a preventive measure.

Quite often, we do not pay attention and casual appeal with glasses. And then wonder why they broke. But proper care of glasses not only prolongs their service life, but also makes wearing glasses more comfortable.

The procedure for cleaning lenses can be simple if you use special tools.

During a pair of eyeglasses lenses are contaminated: skin cells, dust particles, human sweat – all of it accumulates on the lens and forms a water-insoluble oil film that reduces light transmission and degrades the appearance of the glasses. In addition, the lenses can collect dust, soot, combustion products of motor fuel, precipitation, road dirt and much more. Modern facilities for the care of glasses will easily get rid of any such contamination.

Reusable cloths a microfiber lens care

They are composed of ultrafine fibers, making them able to penetrate into the micropores of the lens, thus removing any liquid or solid particles. Mikrofibrovye fiber literally sucking the dust and dirt into its matrix and safely keep them there. This cloth can absorb and retain dirt and moisture level of 7 times more than its own weight. The main rule is effective use of these napkins – generally clean napkin, as a dirty cloth can scratch the lens coating.

Individual Wipes

Disposable wipes are packed tightly, which is very convenient for those who are saving time. These wipes contain cleaner and bystroisparyayuschiysya alcohol.

Spray cleaners

Cleaning ability sprays due to the content of surface-active substances – the special chemical compounds. The molecules of these substances readily come into contact with pollutants, such as hard laundered fats and oils and remove them without difficulty. After application of spray lens should be wiped from the reusable microfiber cloth. The structure of sprays for cleaning lenses not included alkaline additives, which can damage the surface of lenses made of plastic, polycarbonate and vysokoprelomlyayuschih organic materials.

Memo to care for eyeglasses

In addition to cleaning glasses require daily care to their relationship. To frame and lenses will serve you more than a year, try to observe a few simple rules.

1. Always remove the glasses with both hands. So you Prevent disabling attachment Temples and frame breakage.

Endothelial dystrophy of the cornea (Fuchs’ dystrophy) - is a hereditary disease that affects the innermost layer of the cornea – the endothelium.Endothelium works in the cornea as a pump, continuously pumping out thick cornea liquid, which gets there under the action of normal intraocular pressure. Excess fluid in the cornea to reduce its transparency up to the point where the cornea is similar to frosted glass. Patients gradually lose endothelial cells with the progression of malnutrition. The fact that endothelial cells do not divide, and their number is constantly decreasing. The remaining cells occupy the vacated area large spreading. For the time being offset by an enhanced state of the work remaining cells. But over time, pump system becomes less efficient, causing swelling of the cornea, clouding her and, eventually, reduced vision.

In the early stages of the disease, patients note lighted and increased intolerance of light. Gradually the vision may deteriorate in the morning, as a recovering in the evening. This is explained by the fact that during a night’s sleep is no evaporation from the surface of the cornea, and moisture accumulates in the cornea. For centuries, the open day include this mechanism removing fluid from the cornea, and the balance is shifting closer to normal. It is clear that as the death of endothelial cells of new vision remains permanently reduced.

Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy affects both eyes and is slightly more common among women. Usually it manifests itself in 30-40 years and gradually progresses. If the vision deteriorates so that the patient loses the ability to serve themselves, there are indications for corneal transplantation.

The signs (symptoms)

Diagnosis

Endothelial dystrophy, is found on examination of the eye slit lamp. In addition, the applied ultrasonic pachymetry to measure corneal thickness and, consequently, the expression of her edema. A clear image of the endothelium and to determine the density of cells per unit area, their average size makes endothelial microscopy.

Treatment

Medication can not be achieved cure of the disease. Solutions with high osmolarity, ie, ability to attract water, help to dehydrate the cornea and temporarily improve vision. Corneal transplantation with successful outcome, can give a good result. But because of the relatively high risk of complications associated with the operation, it is usually prescribed when visual acuity less than 0.1.

Endocrine ophthalmopathy - autoimmune disease of the tissues and muscles of the orbit, leading to the development of exophthalmos and complex eye symptoms.

The basis of the disease are autoimmune disorders, leading to changes in extraocular muscle and fat retrobulbarno: structural damage of muscle fibers, diffuse cellular infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells, the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides, and edema of muscle tissue, causing an increase of retrobulbar tissue, a violation of the micro-circulation with subsequent growth of connective tissue and the development of fibrosis. Often combined autoimmune thyroid disease.

Symptoms of endocrine ophthalmopathy. Patients complain of tearing, especially in the wind, photophobia, sensation of pressure in the eyes, double vision (especially when looking upward and sideways), protrusion of the eyeballs. On examination, there pronounced exophthalmos, usually bilateral. Normally when exophthalmometer protrusion of the eyeballs corresponds to 15-18 mm. Patients vystoyanie eyeballs may exceed these figures by 2-8 mm. When edematous form of the disease observed pronounced edema of eyelids, conjunctiva, sclera vascular injection. If the preferential involvement in the pathological process of extraocular muscles to the fore the symptoms caused by their defeat: the symptoms of Möbius, Grefe, dalrymple, Shtelvaga etc.; limited mobility of the eyeballs until they are completely immobile.

Optic fundus: swelling of the retina, optic disk, optic nerve atrophy. There have been a concentric constriction of visual fields, central scotoma. Can be observed corneal ulceration, perforation of her, the accession of infection. For the diagnosis is of great importance ultrasonography retrobulbarno space that can evaluate the severity of damage and identify the group affected oculomotor muscles, and the definition of thyroid function.
