Guide To Managing Farsightedness

Reduce Eyestrain

For mild cases of farsightedness, a patient may need to simply take steps to reduce eyestrain When the eyes are not strained, they are able to correct themselves up to a certain degree. This is especially applicable if the cause of farsightedness has been exacerbated by eyestrain for a long time. Eyestrain occurs when the eyes become too tired or fatigued to function properly. Staring at a book, computer screen, smartphone, tablet, or driving too long can easily cause eyestrain. When the eyes are engaged in such visual activities, they only blink half as many times as they should. This can make farsightedness worse because it is partly caused by dryness in the eyes. When the eyes do not blink as much as they should, they are not refreshed properly. This results in itching, burning, headaches, irritability, and general eye pain. In addition, the ciliary muscle becomes tense and tightens up during tedious visual activities. This causes the eye to have difficulty with focusing on certain objects, and it can result in the eye sending the brain a blurred or double image (double vision). Allowing the eyes to have a proper amount of rest from focusing on a single object can improve mild farsightedness.
