Long-term stress affects all human organs, including the visual system. This was told by the doctor of medical sciences, professor, ophthalmologist and ophthalmic surgeon Igor Aznauryan.
With a prolonged emotional state, a person may begin to double in front of his eyes, everything may blur, or causeless cramps may appear.
“Not because a speck got in, but because this is a special state of excitation of nerve receptors. If the eyes begin to react, the cardiovascular system will start to react further, ”the doctor warned.
The expert stressed that it can be life-threatening, so the problem needs to be addressed. If you have problems with your eyes, you should contact a specialist who will prescribe the appropriate treatment.
Aznauryan urged to fight stress not only with medication, but, for example, with active walking.
“A person over the age of 40 needs to walk at least 3-4 km a day, this is a must. This is a muscle activity that will relieve stress locally, ”said the ophthalmologist.
If it is impossible to walk, the doctor advised to do an exercise to relieve stress and relieve discomfort in the eyes. The expert recommended that you turn off the lights, close your eyes and start visualizing intense blacks in front of your eyes.
“We usually see white, gray-white“ clouds ”. In your mind, try to imagine them as black, to make sure that there is an absolutely black veil before your eyes, ”the doctor said.
As the professor added in an interview with Sputnik radio, if you do this meditation for 2-4 minutes, then “it will become easier.”
