Eye gymnastics

With the help of the organ of vision, a person receives 90% of all information about the world around him. Currently, the load on the eyes of the child is very large, they rest only during sleep.
One of the main factors in the emergence and development of myopia in children is intense visual loads. The child's eye gets used to working at close distances (working with a book, a notebook) and loses the ability to clearly see distant objects.
Therefore, the way out of this situation can be found in the following: it is necessary to expand the visual and spatial activity of the eye during the school lesson.
Various exercises have been developed to protect vision. Gymnastics for the eyes is useful for everyone in order to prevent visual impairment, and especially it is useful for children.

1. Working with an ophthalmic trainer
For the prevention of myopia, you can use a special gymnastics for the eyes - an ophthalmic exercise machine.
The ophthalmic exercise machine is a special scheme of visual-motor projections. This scheme was developed by a group of professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences V. F. Bazarny.
Exercises for the eyes according to this scheme provide for the movement of the eyeball in all directions. The diagram with the help of special arrows indicates the main trajectories along which the gaze should move in the process of performing the task: up-down, left-right, clockwise (and against) in the external and internal ovals, in circles in the center. Each trajectory is different from the others in color. The scheme is bright, colorful. The exercises are done standing up.

2. "Eyes run"
For example, a 1 x 2 m Watman sheet depicts any colored figures (oval, eight, wave, spiral, rhombus, etc.) or crossed lines of different bright colors 1 cm thick. This poster is placed above eye level in any convenient place (above the board, on the side wall, on the ceiling of the classroom). At the request of the teacher, children begin to “run” their eyes along a given trajectory. Such exercises should be carried out in a playful form. You can attach a butterfly to the tip of the pointer and go with it on a trip. Such exercises are performed standing.

3. "Up, down, left, right."
Eye movement up and down, left and right. Then close your eyes, count to 10. Repeat 5-6 times.

4. "Circle."
Imagine a big circle. Make circular movements with your eyes first clockwise, then counterclockwise.

5. "Square."
Imagine a square. Make movements with the eyes from the upper right corner to the lower left corner, then to the upper left corner and to the lower right corner. Repeat 3-5 times. (Instead of a square, you can use a class board.)

6. "Nose painting"
Children need to look at the sign and remember the word or letter that is depicted on it. Then close your eyes and write this element in the air.
(The teacher can select the task according to the topic of the lesson.)

7. "Watching my fingers."
Put the index fingers of both hands before you, and each finger is watched by your eye: the right finger is the right eye, the left one is the left. Spread your fingers and put them together. The right finger (and with it the right eye) to the left side and the left finger (and with it the left eye) to the right side. Return to starting position.
