      Everyone is familiar with presbyopia. This disease is very common in middle-aged and elderly people, and it is also very difficult to treat. Therefore, in order to prevent the condition from getting worse, the best way is prevention. The main method of clinical treatment for presbyopia is rehabilitation treatment. The most commonly used method is traditional Chinese medicine, not only because traditional Chinese medicine has no side effects, but also because they also have a unique set of health methods. Let’s take a look!

      Traditional Chinese medicine believes that presbyopia is caused by insufficient kidney water and insufficient blood and essence. Therefore, it can be treated with dietary supplements first. Elderly people with eyesight can eat more black beans, black sesame seeds, wolfberry, chrysanthemum, etc. to make soup or porridge. Also pay attention to eating more foods rich in vitamins A and B. Such as pig liver and other animal offal, soy products, eggs, green leafy vegetables, carrots, pumpkins, walnuts, lychees, etc.

      In addition, hot compress method can also be used to prevent and treat presbyopia. First, fold the special towel into double folds, soak it in hot water, take it out and wring it out, let the heat escape slightly, make sure it is not hot, and put it on your eyes. At this time, the eyes are opened, allowing the heat to act directly on the eyeballs. After the temperature of the towel drops, soak it in water, wring it out and apply it on your eyes. Repeat this 3 times. After applying, massage the corners of the eyes, eyeballs, orbits and temples.

      At this time, the elderly can feel that their eyes are moist, refreshing, and their vision is clear. If you can persist for a long time, the effect will be better. For example, when washing your face every morning and evening, you can soak the face towel in hot water, take it out, but do not twist it too dry, then fold it up immediately and cover your forehead and eyes while it is hot. Raise your head slightly and close your eyes briefly for about 1 minute. If you persist in this way for half a year, the phenomenon of vertigo in the elderly can be significantly improved.

      In terms of exercise, elderly people with dizziness can do more local massage and hot compress. The specific method of local massage is: use the tips of the index fingers of both hands to press the Jingming point on the inner corner of the eye. For about half a minute each time, the local skin will become flushed, warm, and slightly sore. Then use the back sides of the thumbs of both hands to massage the Cuanzhu points on both sides (the wrinkled brows) for 1 minute each time, once in the morning and once in the evening.

      For patients with presbyopia, it is impossible to completely cure it, but it can be suppressed to the greatest extent. Therefore, when we use traditional Chinese medicine treatment, we must be persistent and follow the doctor's advice. Do not proceed blindly to avoid losing more than the gain.
