What are the physical causes of vision disturbances?

Bad vision develops in a large percentage of people as a direct result of poor vision habits.

Situations that are not ideal for clear vision

These by themselves do not cause vision problems given that they do not damage the function of a healthy eye. Nevertheless, in an eye that does not function correctly to begin with, these situations could often lead to deterioration of the eye muscle.

Overworked, overstressed

In today's fast-paced world, we tend to pay attention to our health only when we suffer the severe consequences of its deterioration. Unfortunately, this tendency is true for our children as well as adults. Few elementary schools teach healthy living so positive examples are few and far between. The eye is the first organ that suffers from an overworked, overstressed lifestyle.

Insufficient diet

Absence of basic nutrients from the diet can cause a decline in the eye function. It is most important to consume an adequate amount of vitamin A.

Insufficient blood supply

A sedentary lifestyle reduces the bloody supply bringing nutrients to the eye. Also, blood circulation to the eye is often obstructed by constant muscle cramps in the neck and shoulders.

Incorrect posture

Muscle cramps prevent the vertebrae from supporting the head properly. The head tilts forward, the eyes change position in the orbital cavity, and the eye muscles tense-up to compensate. Unnecessary muscle tension weakens the eye muscles and causes deterioration.

Watching the screen incorrectly

People in general, and especially children, are not usually aware of the fact that they are watching television and computer monitors incorrectly. As a result, people almost always use their eyes improperly. It is important to remember that the more we strain our eyes to see, the worse the condition of the eye becomes.

Influence of other diseases

Eye problems are easy to detect. The more a child is sick (inflammation of glands, frequent bouts with colds, bad teeth, ear infection, etc.), the higher the probability that eye problems will develop.
