Keeping the Eyes is Keeping the Spirit

Chapter 4 Don't Let Drugs and False Common Sense Harm Your Eyes (2)
Don't be fooled by the disease name "senile"

In Europe and America, the leading cause of blindness is age-related macular degeneration.This disease name is a bit unfamiliar to many people, but its number of patients has gradually increased in recent years.

The macula is located in the center of the retina and its main function is to recognize the shape, color and size of objects.Mutations in the macula can lead to poor vision, which can lead to blindness if it continues to develop.

Age-related macular degeneration, although the name of the disease has the word "senile", but it is the same as presbyopia, and it is not only suffered by older people.In recent years, the number of energetic male age-related macular degeneration patients in their 30s and 40s has been increasing, more than those in their 60s and older.This is the best proof that age-related macular degeneration has nothing to do with age.In the final analysis, this disease is caused by insufficient oxygen supply.

In addition, age-related macular degeneration can be roughly divided into the following two categories:

The first type is the atrophic type, the symptom is that the optic nerve declines due to insufficient oxygen supply, and the retinal cells continue to decrease.

The second type is the exudative type, the symptom is insufficient oxygen supply, the eyes lack nutrition, and some fragile new blood vessels will proliferate in order to obtain nutrition.

Regardless of the type, their biggest cause is insufficient oxygen supply to the eyes.

I think there are two reasons for the increase in age-related macular degeneration among young men: overuse of the eyes and undernutrition.It is a good thing to be enthusiastic about work, but the body is the capital of work.Don't take it for granted that your eyes can see.I sincerely hope that everyone can use the Konno-style vision recovery training method to improve their bodies immediately.

Parents are to blame for children with poor eyesight

As Japan enters an aging society, the number of children is also decreasing.However, the number of children visiting my clinic has skyrocketed in recent years.Compared with 10 years ago, the number of children visiting the doctor has increased by about four times.

I am deeply sorry to see what happened to the children.Adults still have a strong self-recovery ability, let alone children.The probability of their eyesight recovering is quite high, but parents always want to give their children glasses right away.

In recent years, the main reason for children's vision loss is that they play game consoles for a long time, or often eat some foods with low nutritional value.

Small children cannot choose their own way of life.It is the parents' responsibility to protect their eyes.

If the parents are willing to pay more attention, at least the child's eyesight will not drop sharply in elementary school.

The first thing parents should pay attention to is the problem of children watching TV and playing games for a long time.

Letting children watch TV and play games is the most trouble-free way to calm them down, so many parents let their children watch TV and play games without time limit for the sake of convenience.Parents like this should be careful.

The second thing to pay attention to is nutritional deficiencies.Many parents always like to feed their children candy, bread, and fast food, but rarely feed their children vegetables, which can easily lead to nutritional deficiencies in their children.

The third thing to pay attention to is lighting.In some families, the desk lamp is placed on one side of the table, which will cause serious loss of vision in one eye of the child.

The fourth thing to pay attention to is hypoxia caused by incorrect posture.A child's hunchback can put pressure on the lungs, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply.

Many people think that if they often go outdoors to exercise their bodies, there will be no problems with blood circulation.In fact, they all underestimate the influence of posture.When hunchbacked, the oxygen inhaled by the human body is only 1/5 of the normal amount, and if things go on like this, there will be a huge gap in the oxygen supply.

Sometimes, no matter how the parents tell the children to do the sight-recovery training every day, the children just refuse to do it.At this time, it is best for parents to massage their eyes or apply hot towels to their children while they are asleep.Doing so has a completely different effect than doing nothing.

I think everyone should understand that all eye problems are caused by insufficient oxygen supply.Insufficient oxygen supply will not only affect the eyes, but also make people prone to symptoms such as daze and fatigue, which can cause various diseases and make various body functions abnormal.

So, what should we do to provide sufficient oxygen to the eyes?In this matter, two points are crucial:

●Exercising the internal organs that are deeply related to the eyes;

●Improve blood circulation around the eyes.Regarding these two points, I will explain them to you in Chapters 3 and 4 respectively.

Next, let's do a self-examination first. Readers must understand the condition of their own eyes before looking down.

Test: Do you understand the life-saving signal sent by the body?
1. There is something wrong with the body! ——Pain when pressing the Zhongfu point
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that channels called "meridians" in the human body are responsible for transporting energy to various tissues throughout the body.

On the meridian, there are some points where energy tends to stay.These points are the "meridian points", the so-called "acupoints".

There is an acupoint called "Zhongfu" on the "Lung Meridian" connected to the lungs. If you feel pain when you press it lightly, it means that your eyes and body are hypoxic.

Zhongfu Point is located on the outside of the subclavian fossa, the depression at the junction of the shoulder and the chest.

For men, open two horizontal fingers on the outside of the nipple, and push straight up to the three ribs is the Zhongfu point.

Ninety percent of my patients can't help screaming for pain when they press Zhongfu acupoint.They felt that they were breathing smoothly every day without any problems, and they never thought that their bodies would be deprived of oxygen.

However, poor posture, shallow breathing, and apnea syndrome during sleep can cause insufficient oxygen supply, so please be careful.

2. The physical problem is serious! ——Press the Shaoshang point to feel pain
The Shaoshang point is located on the edge of the root of the thumbnail.Shaoshang point is on the lung meridian, which is the point where Qi energy gushes out.If you feel dull pain (not too sharp pain, opposite to tingling pain and knife-like pain) or unnaturalness when you press this point, it proves that the hypoxia is serious.

Gently pinch the root of the nail of the thumb of the left hand with the fingers of the right hand and press it.If the body is well supplied with oxygen, pressing will not cause pain.

3. You use your eyes too much! ——Press the eyeball to sense inelasticity

People who use their eyes too much or have eye problems will have hard eyeballs.

Try to close your eyes and gently press the entire eyeball with your middle finger across the eyelids.But please do not press too hard.

Ideally, the eyeball should be as soft and elastic as Dafubing (also known as sandwiched glutinous rice balls, which is a kind of snack, which is similar to the enlarged version of glutinous rice balls) when pressed.

If the eyeball feels harder than a Daifuku pan when pressed, it is likely that the lens is hardening.Once the lens begins to harden, the probability of suffering from cataracts and glaucoma will also increase.

If there are children at home, you can gently touch his eyeballs through the eyelids.A child's eyeball should be quite elastic.

4. You are at risk of glaucoma! ——Cover your eyes in turn to look at the surrounding vision loss. Glaucoma will not cause pain, so it is generally discovered later.However, the loss of vision caused by glaucoma cannot be recovered, and it is best to find it early.

Glaucoma is often caused by loss of vision in one eye, so it is necessary to look at the same scene with both eyes in turn to check whether there is loss of vision.

Cover your right eye with your right hand, and after reading it with your left eye, change your left hand to cover your left eye, and read it with your right eye.

Don't just look at the things in front of you, let your eyeballs turn around and look at all angles to make sure there is no invisible range.

When two eyes look together, even if there is a loss of vision in one eye, the other eye will make up for the lack of vision, so it cannot be noticed.

If your vision is narrowed or partially blurred in only one eye, glaucoma is serious and you should see your doctor immediately and begin the recovery exercises described in Chapter 4.

5. Your internal organs harden! ——If you feel a hard object or pain when you press the abdomen, please press the abdomen to check whether the internal organs are hardened.If the internal organs are hardened, the diaphragm cannot sink normally, the lungs cannot expand, and breathing naturally becomes shallow.

Use the middle fingers of both hands to press clockwise within a radius of 10 cm from the navel.

Press and hold for 1 seconds with a force that allows the compression site to sink 3 cm, and keep exhaling during this period.If you feel the elasticity of the ball at this time, it means that the gastrointestinal tract is not hardened.

If you feel as if something is pushing against you at this time, or if you feel pain, it means that the stomach and intestines are sclerotic.Usually, as shown in the picture below, gently massage the abdomen to soften the internal organs.

6. Disorders of the autonomic nervous system - no pain when pressing Chengshan point
Chengshan Point is located on the Bladder Meridian. For most people, no matter what kind of stimulation is applied to it by the outside world, people who press here will feel pain. This is the so-called "pain point".

If you do not feel any pain when you press the Chengshan acupoint, it may indicate that the autonomic nerve (a nerve that is independent and not controlled by the will of the human body) is seriously disordered, and the eyes are also quite weak.Even if there is no eye condition at present, please perform vision recovery training immediately.

Patients with particularly bad eye conditions often do not feel any pain when pressing Chengshan point at the beginning, but they should feel pain when pressing again after recovery.

Chengshan Point is located at the highest point of the Achilles tendon, at the junction of the Achilles tendon and the calf.

7. Is it because people are not old enough? ——The symptoms of presbyopia are blurred vision after looking far away, and the symptoms of presbyopia are that the lens in the eye is equivalent to a convex lens and the ciliary body that adjusts the focus is sclerotic.

Recently, the number of young people with presbyopia in their 20s and 30s has been increasing, so even if you are young, if your eyes cannot focus normally, you should pay more attention.

Try staring at the billboard 20 meters away for a few seconds, and then turn your eyes back to the book in your hand to see the small print.

If it takes a few seconds to refocus before you can see clearly, you have presbyopia.

After passing the above 7 inspections, what is the condition of your eyes?
As long as there is one problem in the above inspections, it means that the condition of your eyes cannot be ignored and improvement is urgent.

Be sure to follow the recovery method described in Chapter 4 for exercise.
