The Visual Training: gymnastics eye for those small, powerful muscles of the eye
by Dr. Antonio Parolise
Bates in the wake of the method have found many advantages with what is called the eyepiece or Gymnastics , for the supporters of the Anglo-Saxon terms, VISUAL TRAINING. With the eye exercises you try to restore that balance of those eye muscles that are put to the test during the hours of work or also for recreation. The ocular muscles, in structural terms has the same characteristics as all other skeletal muscles of the human body. Basically there is a difference between eye muscle and a hamstring, apart from the nerves to the number motor unit. Train the muscles against a resistance leads to an adaptation of that structure that will become stronger and trophic compensation. Obviously we can not do squat eyes but we can use the isometric tension of a muscle by setting a specific point, and take advantage of his opponent against resistance. The exercises can be performed in front of a mirror while sitting comfortably and staring eyes of his own image reflected.
The supervision of an Optometrist or Orthoptist is the safest guideline for the practice of these exercises. So it is advisable to start sessions with a specialist and then continue their training on their own eye. There are several exercises you can
practice:
the first year is to establish a point of your face like the forehead, nose, mouth, etc., and lower your chin to the edge as possible and then lift your chin keeping their gaze fixed to the same thing the right and then left. You can also use different angles and train those positions where you have the most difficulty. Then gaze is fixed and the head moves in all directions. Repeat several times.
The second exercise rather to keep to the head and lay down different points in space. In the first phase can be fixed up, down, left and right and then in high angles and low. Repeat several times. exercises angular movements
The third exercise is to establish a pen held in front of the eyes at a distance of about 20-25 cm and in the other hand another pen in front of the nose. We will start by setting the pen and the most distant approaches to matching the two ends. Repeat several times.
The fourth exercise is to close and open the eyelids quickly for about 15-20 seconds. Then keep your eyes closed for a few seconds, reopen and fully tighten holding wide open for a few seconds. Repeat several times.
We may rely on more imagination to create the exercises also fun, especially Children and teenagers who spend many hours watching television or computer. Visual Training make the game fun to repeat several times during the day or during PE lessons in schools. Gymnastics for small muscles, but with great power that is often overlooked or ignored completely. Take care of them too.
