Gymnastics for the eyes for cataracts from Norbekov

Let's get acquainted

Some readers have a logical question: who is this Norbekov? The full name of the brilliant physician is Mirzakarim Sanakulovich. However, there is very little information about his biography, since the doctor does not like to let strangers into his life. He was born on November 17, 1957 near the city of Samarkand. While serving in the army, he became interested in martial arts and began to master karate. I taught this fighting technique for some time.

At the same time, I became interested in a healthy lifestyle and began to promote it among the population. The future luminary of science and medicine was sure that the division of diseases into curable and incurable was too arbitrary. After all, even the healthiest person, who does not enjoy anything in this world, will die much faster than a sick individual who appreciates every minute of life and is able to find the strength to overcome the disease.

His fate was radically changed by a chance meeting with candidate of medical sciences Larisa Fotina. They jointly developed a set of unique exercises aimed at improving the health of the body. Today Norbekov is the head of the Institute of Human Self-Healing, a post he has held for more than twenty years.

In 2010, he headed the Center for Educational and Health Technologies, which has numerous offices around the globe. Mirzakarim holds doctoral degrees in psychology and philosophy. He is a corresponding member of several foreign and domestic academies. At the same time, the professor has a large number of enemies and spiteful critics who consider his approach to treatment pseudoscientific.

Restoring vision using Norbekov’s method

Today there are countless ways to “reanimate” vision and get rid of a variety of eye diseases. However, most often the work on programs is carried out by non-traditional healers. Against their background, Dr. Norbekov’s technique looks more confident, and its effectiveness has been documented.

Mirzakarim assures that the exercises will help not only in the fight against minor diseases (myopia and farsightedness), but also relieve glaucoma and astigmatism. The system has several distinctive features:

• It harmoniously combines exercises and auto-trainings that can stabilize the patient’s psychological state;
• The technique is aimed not only at improving visual function, it has a positive effect on the entire body;
• According to the author, gymnastics is secondary. The main thing is that a person must mentally imagine himself healthy and believe that the disease can and should be fought;
• You won’t get far with auto-training alone, and magical healing won’t happen, so the doctor resorted to the help of the famous ophthalmologist William Beist. In practice, he widely uses his developments and methods.

Pay special attention to your posture and spine position, making sure it is straight. This is necessary to ensure normal oxygen access to all organs. Exercises will help strengthen muscles, stabilize blood circulation in the orbit and intraocular pressure, and maintain the tone of the lens. An excellent way to prevent cataracts and retinal detachment. Return to contents

Is Norbekov’s gymnastics effective?

Many patients report positive results with regular exercise. However, some people report lack of effectiveness or short-term effects after training.

Ophthalmologists believe that gymnastics according to Norbekov will only help prevent the development of many eye diseases. In the presence of ophthalmological pathologies, it is recommended to perform exercises only after a comprehensive examination by a doctor. This will help prevent the development of complications.

The author of the gymnastic complex emphasizes that auto-training, meditation and self-hypnosis will help increase the effectiveness of exercises.

To quickly restore vision, you need positive emotions, faith in success, and determination.

Who will the technique help?

Norbekov believes that the gymnastics he developed can in some cases heal, in others only alleviate the general condition of the patient, it all depends on the type of illness. In what cases will it be effective?

• Myopia. The main symptom is that a person has trouble seeing objects in the distance. At the same time, he can distinguish them well up close. The reason for the pathology lies in the elongated eyeball, the image is formed not on the retina, but in front of it;
• Farsightedness. People suffering from this disease have difficulty seeing close up, but can clearly distinguish objects at a distance. The cause of the disease lies in the fact that the “picture” does not fall on the retina of the eye, but behind it;
• Astigmatism. A disease associated with damage to the shape of the lens, cornea or eyeball. A person with such a pathology sees all objects in a distorted form and often suffers from headaches.

Exercising will not help get rid of glaucoma or cataracts. But, according to the author, it can slightly improve the condition of a sick person.

Doing eye exercises for cataracts

Good day, friends! We all know that vision is the most important ability, thanks to which we can perceive the world as it is.

Impaired visual perception makes us very vulnerable, so the fact of having any ophthalmological disease cannot but upset us, especially for cataracts.

Gymnastic exercises, including those for the visual organs, are an inexhaustible source of vigor and excellent well-being. Eye exercises for cataracts help slow the progression of the disease and improve visual function.

That is why it is recommended to be performed both as a therapeutic and as a preventive measure.

How is visual gymnastics useful for cataracts?

The eyes are an incredibly fragile organ that should be treated with extreme care throughout your life. According to qualified ophthalmologists, performing visual gymnastics will benefit not only people suffering from eye pathologies, but also those who do not have them.

Important! The benefits of eye exercises are due to the fact that they help restore vision and prevent eye diseases.

Surely you know that with age there is a gradual decline in visual functions, and therapeutic exercises are aimed at slowing down the aging process of the visual organs and reducing the likelihood of developing ophthalmological diseases. In addition, special visual exercises activate the eye muscles and provide a person with a boost of energy.

By regularly performing simple actions with your eyes, you can:

• improve overall well-being;
• relieve visual fatigue;
• slow down the aging process of the body;
• strengthen the eye muscles;
• improve vision;
• prevent the development of serious eye diseases.

Effective exercises for cataracts from Norbekov and Zhdanov

Today, many gymnastic complexes have been developed that are similar to each other. The most popular are the eye exercises proposed by Professor Zhdanov and Dr. Norbekov.

They are recommended to be done both at the initial stage of cataracts and after cataract removal. As a rule, they are performed alternately, 2-3 times a day. The daily duration of eye exercises should not exceed 30 minutes.

Thanks to eye gymnastics, which was invented by Vladimir Zhdanov, many people managed to restore their vision almost 100%, as evidenced by numerous reviews from satisfied patients.

Can you imagine how effective it is?! Due to the small set of exercises he proposed, it is possible to get rid of various visual ailments, in particular cataracts.

So, I bring to your attention the most effective exercises according to Zhdanov, which are recommended for people with a clouded lens:

1. Stand up straight and keep your head straight. Raise your eyes up, then down, then alternately look to the right and left. Blink quickly. Repeat 5-6 times.
2. Draw a rectangle with your eyes. To do this, look at the upper left corner - upper right corner - lower right corner - lower left corner. Repeat the exercise 4 times.
3. Draw a large clock face with your eyes. Start making circular rotations with your eyes clockwise, tracing the contours of each number.
4. "Spiral". Focus your gaze on the end of your nose and begin making spiral movements with your eyes into the distance. Do 6 repetitions of the exercise.
5. "Snake". Guide the snake with your eyes from the right side to the left, and vice versa. Repeat 6 times.

Here are some useful exercises for cataracts according to Norbekov:

1. Concentrate and begin to mentally connect your forehead to your chin, and then draw a thin line from your right to your left ear. Repeat 4 times.
2. Draw horizontal and vertical figure eights with your eyes without going beyond the contour of your face.
3. Bring the index fingers of both hands to the tip of your nose and look at them for 30 seconds. Now spread your hands, trying to keep your gaze on your fingers as long as you can. Do 3 reps.

About the subtleties of oriental gymnastics for the eyes

Supporters of alternative medicine claim the benefits of Tibetan visual gymnastics for cataracts. We are talking about the Qigong system, which consists of health-improving exercises and breathing exercises.

Important! Traditionally, exercises are performed in the early morning - between 6:00 and 8:00, as it is believed that at this time the body is best positioned to receive energy.

So, here are some eye exercises that people suffering from cataracts should do (all of them are done with eyes closed):

1. Start by alternately closing your right eye and then your left eye. Do about 13 reps.
2. Bring the index fingers of both hands to your eyes and lightly press on the sclera. Repeat 15 times. This is a kind of massage aimed at increasing blood circulation in the eyeball.
3. Place your index fingers on your eyelids and press lightly, then try to open your eyes. This way you will resist. Do 13 reps.

Another effective exercise is blinking: for 60 seconds you need to blink quickly, without straining or closing your eyes. After performing the above exercises, you need to rinse your vision organs with warm water.

Video: Eye exercise “FIG EIGHT” from Tibetan gymnastics

I recommend that you watch a video lesson of Tibetan eye gymnastics to make sure that your visual actions are performed correctly.

This is an exercise for conscious control of one of two objects moving in a single visual field. Both objects are perceived by the observer's visual system, but one is in the field of central fixation, the other in the field of peripheral vision.

The “Figure Eight” eye exercise improves all aspects of visual perception, suitable for both myopia and farsightedness, as well as astigmatism. After the exercise, you need to close your eyes, relax your whole body as much as possible and observe the images appearing on the internal screen until they completely disappear.

Who is contraindicated for visual gymnastics?

Despite the benefits of gymnastics for the eyes, you can start doing it only after consulting with an experienced ophthalmologist. Under no circumstances should his recommendations be neglected or exceed the norm prescribed by him.

The task of an eye specialist is to select the most appropriate technique and exclude visual pathologies in which even minimal load on the visual organs is contraindicated. This should include:

1. Retinal detachment. If you do eye exercises for this problem, visual acuity may decrease.
2. Diseases of an infectious-inflammatory nature. Persons with keratitis and conjunctivitis are prohibited from performing all kinds of eye exercises. This is due to the danger of the spread of germs and bacteria that are released with tear fluid.
3. The period after laser correction. After cataract surgery, during which a laser is used, you can begin performing gymnastics no earlier than six months later.

The book “The Experience of a Fool, or the Key to Insight”

In 2001, Norbekov’s creation appeared on bookstore shelves. In the book, he described in detail a method aimed at restoring visual acuity, which will help you forget about glasses and contacts once and for all. The publication is still hotly discussed among ophthalmologists and people with eye problems.

The technique is based on two “pillars” - psychology and physiology. The author is confident that only those who will perform gymnastics correctly and at the same time be able to normalize their mental health will achieve results. In other words, to heal, you need to set a positive attitude, think only positively and imagine yourself not as a sick person, but as a sharp-eyed “eagle”. Do gymnastics with a smile on your face.

The publication describes in detail eye exercises using the Norbekov method, the essence of which is to perform simple actions. They do not cause any additional strain on the eyes.

To familiarize yourself with the contents of the bestseller, you can download it in pdf, mp3 format on specialized websites.

Indications for starting the use of eye gymnastics

Gymnastics for the eyes according to the methods of Norbekov, Beist, Zhdanov and Avetisv will be effective for:

• myopia;
• farsightedness;
• age-related degenerative changes in the eyeballs;
• astigmatism;
• cataract;
• weakness of the eye ligaments;
• strabismus;
• glaucoma;
• hypermetropia;
• severe fatigue of the eyes and the entire visual apparatus.

For myopia, eye gymnastics will help strengthen the eye muscles, rebuild them in the right way and gradually restore vision.

During farsightedness, eye gymnastics can significantly slow down this process for older people; it also helps improve blood supply to the cervical spine and stimulate the lens, thereby restoring the ability to focus.

For people with astigmatism or cataracts, eye gymnastics will help by increasing metabolism in the eye tissues and supplying the eyes with the necessary oxygen and nutrients. It will also improve adaptive functions and accommodation.

It should be remembered that it is best to consult a doctor before choosing one or another technique. In some cases, treatment will be based only on eye gymnastics, but there are also cases where gymnastics is only one of several steps of treatment.

Exercise No. 3 – “Butterfly”

The main condition: the head remains motionless, only the eyes “work”. To make the effect on the muscles as gentle as possible, use large figures, this is especially true for those who are trying the technique for the first time.

Draw a mental diagonal, starting from the lower left corner, gradually move to the upper right corner, go down and complete the “journey” in the upper left corner.

Then repeat the exercise in reverse order, i.e. start mentally creating a line in the lower right corner, move up to the left, go down and stop at the upper right corner.

After “drawing”, give your eyes a rest, relax them and blink. Repeat eight to ten times.

Gymnastics to relax muscles

According to Norbekov, exercises aimed at relaxing the eye muscles are similar to meditative practices and include the following stages:

1. It is necessary to smoothly open your eyes. The internal psychological state should be calm. Without tension and haste, you need to blink your eyes.

2. The exercise itself is named Nachihatto-Naplevatto. Before starting the lesson, it is recommended to turn on music for relaxation. The palms of the hands are warmed up, increasing the flow of energy to them. To properly fill with energy, you need to place your hands level with the solar plexus. Without stopping the rubbing, bring your palms to your eyes.
3. The palms of your hands should be folded into a bowl shape. The hands are placed one on top of the other in such a way that it is possible to connect the fingers tightly enough. The hands are placed on the forehead, and the bases of the little fingers are placed at the bridge of the nose.

4. Hands block the penetration of light to the eyes, but eyelashes should not reach the palms. After placing your hands correctly, you need to close your eyes.
5. The energy from warmed hands will be able to flow into the eyes without encountering obstacles. The head is in a straight position.
6. Next, you need to relax the eye and facial muscles. The jaw muscles should also be in a relaxed state, the tongue should lie still, the shoulders should be lowered and tension should be removed from the arms. Elbows spread in different directions.
7. The whole body is in a relaxed position. The psychological state maintains calm and serenity.
8. Next, you need to try to consider the emptiness or an imaginary picture. Moreover, it is possible to contemplate not only static landscapes, but also objects moving in the imagination. The physical capabilities of your own vision should not be a guide. It is much better to imagine and clearly see objects at a distance that in real life cannot be clearly seen. You can also imagine the object in question alternately near and far. It may be useful to present before your eyes the working line of the Norbekov method table.
9. Next, you should concentrate in the umbilical region of the abdomen, thinking about loving your body and eyes, radiating calm and relaxation.
10. Attention is transferred to the right hypochondrium, the place where the liver is located. It is necessary to convey all possible tenderness to this area, try to feel the responsiveness of your body.
11. In the same way, with love and tenderness, you should concentrate on the area where the kidneys are located, feeling the responsiveness of your body.
12. Without opening your eyes, you need to lower your hands. Psychologically, you need to support the mindset of rest. Then you should imagine that a light warm wind touched your face, and after it the body began to sway from side to side. Absolutely all the muscles of the body need to be relaxed.
13. You need to imagine early morning, sunrise, the wonderful view that opens from a high hill near the river. There was a cool summer rain at night, and all the foliage was still covered with moisture. Sunlight penetrates through the translucent leaves of the trees, illuminating the droplets of night rain, filling them with strength and health. Serenity reigns in the soul and body.
14. You should open your eyes without haste.

15. Directing energy to the eyeballs. The exercise begins with rubbing the palms. While maintaining correct posture and eyes closed, the middle and index fingers should be positioned at right angles to the eyes. There should be a minimum gap between the fingers and eyelids - 1-2 mm. You need to feel the energy that flows from your fingers to your eyes.
16. In the same way, you need to repeat the exercise using bent thumbs. The elbows should be apart and raised, and the head should be kept straight.

Exercise #5

Helps strengthen the oblique muscles of the eyeball, helps get rid of myopia. Carry out the exercises in a calm environment, nothing should distract you. Concentrate your gaze on the tip of your nose, slowly move it forward and try to carefully examine the interior on the sides. At the same time, the eyes remain motionless. Then do another exercise:

• Concentrate on the tip of your nose, slowly move your eyes forward, while mentally noting objects located on the sides;
• Fix your gaze on the bridge of your nose, move forward and to the sides;
• Concentrate on the point between your eyebrows, move forward and notice objects to the side without moving your eyes.

Repeat eight times. Remember, the main thing is a positive attitude.

Features of fast gymnastics

To quickly eliminate eye fatigue and prevent the development of myopia, you can use a shortened form of training.

Before starting the exercises, it is recommended to watch the training video.

During training, you should perform the following steps sequentially, doing 10 repetitions:

1. Close your eyes and make circular movements in the opposite direction.
2. Move your gaze along the trajectory of the rectangle, lingering in each corner for 2-3 seconds.
3. Move your eyes along the diagonal of the rectangle.
4. Draw an infinity sign with your gaze, moving in different directions.
5. The following exercises are performed with open eyes. Look at the illuminated object, then close your eyes with your palms. Thanks to the rapid alternation of light and shadow, the muscles of the eyes are strengthened, night vision is improved, and tension is reduced.
6. Focus your gaze on the tip of your nose, look into the distance, and return to the starting position. At each point you should stop for a few seconds.
7. Blink quickly for 1 minute.

Exercise No. 7 – “Big Circle”

The head remains motionless throughout the entire session. Draw in your imagination a golden-colored watch dial. Mentally outline its outline, while recording each number. Perform movements in different directions. Repeat eight to ten times.

Try to draw as smooth a contour as possible, gradually increasing its diameter.

The author advises doing gymnastics three times: with eyes open and eyes closed, then repeat the entire course mentally.

In the video you can clearly familiarize yourself with the rules of performing the exercises.

After completing the gymnastics to restore vision using the Norbekov method, it is necessary to massage certain points:

• The junction of the eyebrows;
• Whiskey;
• Depression above the upper lip;
• wings of the nose;
• The point on the forehead where hair begins to grow.

Massage your face gently with your fingertips; when applying strong pressure, you should not experience any discomfort. The procedure will consolidate the tonic effect of gymnastics. Return to contents

Massage after eye exercises

Massage of reflexogenic zones serves to consolidate the effect on the muscle groups of the eyes.

To do this, it’s easy to find the right points on your face:

• in the center between the eyebrows there is an unpaired point;
• on both sides on the wings of the nose there are paired dots;
• in the middle of the pit under the lower lip above the chin there is an unpaired point;
• on the temples in the pits there are paired dots;
• above the forehead in the center in the area of ​​the cape of hair - an unpaired point.

Alternately, make smooth pressing movements with your fingers, gradually intensifying them until slightly painful.

A significant addition to the technique of performing the technique is the author’s recommendation to perform the exercises in three stages:

• the first - with open eyes;
• second - close your eyes;
• the third is to do everything mentally.

Exercise for tired eyes

People spend a lot of time near the computer, which puts a tremendous strain on their eyesight. Compresses and healing exercises will help relieve fatigue. Every forty minutes of working at the computer, take a break and do a simple exercise.

Rub your palms thoroughly so that they become warm, stack them crosswise on top of each other in the shape of a boat and cover your tired eyes with a “vessel”, without touching them. Sit like this for five minutes, then you can start working again.

Exercises for astigmatism

With astigmatism, the patient may have several focal points. This is due to uneven curvature of the cornea and lens defects. The following exercises may help:

• Make a small dot on the window glass with a marker. Stand by the window and try to focus your vision on a distant point. Then sharply shift your gaze to the point on the glass and look again at the distant object. Perform repeatedly;
• develop the eye muscles by rotating the eyeball clockwise and counterclockwise. Execution time 30 seconds;
• Close your eyes tightly for 5 seconds, then open your eyes and relax.

Norbekov vision table

To perform gymnastics, Mirzakarim will need a unique tablet designed to train visual function. It consists of twelve rows, each of which contains text of a different size.

To get started with the sign, download a photo of it to your computer and print it, then hang it on the wall in your daily training room. You will learn how to work with it correctly by watching the video.

In addition to the table and exercises, it is allowed to take special medications aimed at restoring visual acuity.

Gymnastics for the eyes according to Norbekov - benefit or waste of time?

The book by the doctor of science caused a wide resonance in society. All people were divided into two camps “for” and “against”, some citizens enthusiastically and reliably accepted the new method, others were skeptical about it.

Basically, only the second part of the publication is available to the public, which describes the exercises in detail. But there is also the first one, where the author touches on issues of psychology. Mirzakarim is confident that in order to win the fight against any disease, you need a positive attitude, which is very difficult to achieve.

Norbekov pays special attention to posture or “muscle corset”; most of the book is based on theses about the role of the spine in the normal functioning of the whole organism. In addition to the eyes, the author paid attention to the arms and legs, or rather their joints.

Whether the technique is beneficial or a waste of time is up to you to decide. But, you see, it’s worth trying to set aside twenty minutes a day for simple gymnastics and check how effective the method is. Return to contents

Norbekov about a healthy lifestyle

The author of numerous books and doctor of sciences pays great attention not only to vision, but also to body position in the process of performing gymnastics. In addition to physical health, he talks a lot about mental health. After all, without the right attitude it is almost impossible to achieve success.

Norbekov recommends following a few simple rules to get maximum results:

• Forget about bad habits (alcohol, cigarettes, unhealthy diet);
• Take care of your spine health. A strong muscle corset is the guarantee that even if you get sick, you will feel good;
• Do auto-training and start thinking positively;
• Learn proper breathing techniques and improve them daily. This will help instill in the body the “habit” of self-regulation;
• Don't forget about massage.

You can read more about the specialist’s recommendations in his work “The Experience of a Fool, or the Key to Insight.”

Reviews from doctors and patients

There is no consensus on Norbekov’s technique among both medical workers and ordinary citizens.

Doctors are confident that a set of exercises can be used as a preventive measure for people with good vision. However, in their opinion, it is impossible to restore visual function.

Patients are also contradictory in their reviews of Norbekov’s technique. Some claim that the effect was noticeable within a day, others did not notice any changes even after several weeks. But it’s worth remembering one small nuance: it’s important to do gymnastics every day! If you use it occasionally, do not expect results.
