The fact that spending a lot of time on the computer is harmful to the eyes, has long become a common place.

However, this achievement of civilization can bring to the eyes and benefit. There are special computer programs designed to, if not eliminate, then at least minimize the various visual defects.

So, for example, with myopia and amblyopia, the children will benefit from the computer game "Flower". In it you need to choose on the petals of the flower the same image as what appears in its core. In this game both eyes actively participate. In this case, the color of the images changes, which relieves the eyes of fatigue. Ophthalmologists are advised to play "Flower" daily, once or twice.

To combat amblyopia is intended and the game "Spider". Here it is necessary to superimpose on each other two webs, one of which is in the center of the monitor, and the other can appear in any place. Among other things, this way develops the ability of the eye to accommodate. As a rule, when playing "Spider", amblyopia uses only one eye - "lazy". But if there are problems with the other eye, then it is possible to use other options: to apply in the game both eyes simultaneously or in turn. Recommended playing time is up to half an hour for each eye.

In addition to games, there are also computer programs containing a set of exercises for the eyes. One of them is the "Eye Corrector". Classes with it also develop accommodation and improve the nourishment of the optic nerve.

If you exercise with Eye Corrector every day, it will prevent the development of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

Finally, there are programs that force a person who works at the computer, from time to time to take breaks - after all, the eyes need rest. The Relax program periodically extinguishes the monitor from time to time, and Workrave blocks the mouse and keyboard - but beforehand reminds the user that now it's time to make a breather.
