How to check vision at home

Season of Gathering In

Often, in a situation where problems with vision appear, first of all, the person begins to seek the answer to such a claimed question, how to test the vision at home on the Internet. In principle, vision check is a peculiar assessment of human abilities aimed at distinguishing various elements. Today, visual acuity is usually checked at sufficiently long distances, and in some situations, for example, if a person is already more than 40 years old, it is allowed to check, as they say, near. With the usual procedure of such an inspection, a specialist is familiar, probably all, even small children.

Methods for checking visual acuity

But how to check vision at home? To do this, it is allowed to use a variety of tests or the use of an ordinary standard check table. If at this moment there is a table-printed on the printer, it is recommended to hang on the wall with a distance of 5 meters. At the same time, as in the office, alternately costs each eye to read all the letters available in 12 rows. As a rule, the lower row corresponds to the visual sharpness of 2 units, but the upper is 0.1. If you managed to read, for example, the 10th row, then we can assume that the vision is completely normal. In no means, a correction is needed.

- In addition, there is still some modern way to check human vision. With a three-meter distance, it is necessary to look at such letters drawn in a variety of directions as "E". If the vision of a person is normal, then he will be able to correctly define their direction: right or left, top or bottom.

- At the same time, all household methods are an exemplary vision check, since the contrast of the displayed signs is quite important to carry out such a special study and, of course, illumination. That is why it is recommended to visit a specialist in order not to look for an answer regarding visiting vision at home.

How do you know that vision is normal?

For example, there is such a definition of the result as 6/6, where the first number is considered to be the distance, respectively, from which vision was carried out. This indicator means that human vision is normal. But as for the second notation, they are considered to be the distance from which a well-seen person can read the same lines on a special table.

So, if, for example, the second indicator turned out to be less than the first one, then we can assume that vision is significantly better than the norm, and if the opposite is more, then the level of vision is bad. For example, this indicator as 6/3 means that a person sees perfectly from the distance to 6 meters, and people with normal indicators of view perfectly see the same string, but from a distance of 3 meters. So it is possible to determine a variety of violations of vision. More detailed information on this occasion can be found only at a specialist. Melbet welcomes new players to a variety of bonuses.

Seasonal Recipes

TCM believes sour tasting foods retain the Qi energy in the lungs whereas spicy foods dispel it. So as a general rule, in the autumn, you should go for sour in preference to spicy foods. Here are a couple of recipes for you to try in this season.
RICE WINE
Traditionally around September 8, the solar calendar point termed ‘White Dew’, Chinese families start making rice wine. This slightly sweet beverage is used to warm the body and to add its delicious flavour in chicken dishes and soups. It is also commonly used to add to the sweet soup that accompanies mochi rice balls. I use the Shanghai Brewer’s Biscuits (‘ Shanghai Jiu Bing Wan’ 上海酒饼丸). They are inexpensive and can be found in Chinatown in London.
1kg glutinous rice
2 Shanghai brewer’s biscuits
500ml water, boiled then allowed to cool

  • Wash and soak the rice over night.
  • Next day, steam the rice over a large muslin cloth till cooked and soft.
  • Carefully add the 500ml water into the rice, place the whole in a very clean urn and leave to cool further.
  • Crush the brewer’s yeast biscuits over the rice and press down on the rice.
  • Create a little ‘well’ in the middle of the rice, cover the urn with clingfilm and put the urn’s lid on tightly.
  • Allow it to work its magic in 2-3 days in a warm place like an airing cupboard. The fermentation process needs to be allowed to occur uninterrupted, so resist any temptation to open the urn to check on progress. A yoghurt maker or an instant pot with yoghurt making function would be perfect for this mixture at a constant 30°C .
  • When the precious wine liquid can be seen gathering in the ‘well’ is when your rice wine is ready.
  • Finally, keep the resulting home-made wine in the fridge, for drinking later or for use in cooking.

DAIKON AND GREEN TEA BROTH
Mooli is slightly spicy. In TCM terms it has a ‘cooling’ nature. Cooking it brings out its sweetness, which helps your body to retain moisture and relieve excess internal heat. This is considered a way of nourishing your lungs.
100g grated mooli
3g Miya Senchagreen tea leaves
200ml water (for brewing the tea)
salt to taste

  • Add the mooli into a pot and add just barely enough water to cover.
  • Bring to a boil and cook till soft.
  • Season with salt.
  • Separately, brew the green tea.
  • Pour the tea on to the mooli to make this interesting and nutritious soup.

Healing Techniques

Here are a few acupuncture points you can give some TLCs for a more comfortable autumn.
FRAGRANT TEA STEAM FOR LUNGS

  • Choose a fragrant tea, if you can, like Lishan Oolong , or an mellow aromatic one like Emperor Pu Erh 1998 Vintage .
  • Add freshly boiled water to 2 or 3 grams of tea leaves in a small cereal bowl.
  • Position your face over the bowl and let yourself breathe in the steam.
  • Use your hands on the edge of the bowl to keep too much steam from escaping.
  • Enjoy this experience for 10 minutes, then you can sit up and drink the tea!
  • Don’t forget, with a good quality tea, you can keep adding more hot water and brew the tea again and again.

WARM EXTREMITIES
If you tend to have cold hands and feet all year round, there may be a blockage preventing the free flow of Qi energy in your body. For a simple way to improve this flow:

  • Fill a muslin bag, no bigger then the palm of your hand, with some unrefined rock salt.
  • Warm the bag in a microwave.
  • Lie down on your front comfortably and place the warm muslin bag on your ‘ Da Zui’ (大椎) acupuncture point. This acupuncture point is the slightly protuberant vertebra just below the back of the neck.
  • Do this as often as you can, ideally every day.
  • You can also aim the hot water flow at the same acupuncture point when you’re in the shower.

FOOT SOAK BEFORE BEDTIME
Traditional Chinese doctors believe that cold air enters the body via the feet. Hence, they encourage you to bathe your feet in warm water.

  • Soak your feet in a barely warm water.
  • Then do is very gradually add hotter water.
  • When the first drop of perspiration appears on the tip of your nose, drain away the hot water and massage your feet dry.
  • Then lie in bed with the soles of your feet facing each other.
  • Do this in as relaxed a way as you can, staying in that position for about 10 minutes.
  • This will allow your Qi energy to flow more freely via the acupuncture point that affects the kidneys.
  • After that, let yourself enjoy a night of blissful rest.

RELIEF FOR DRY COUGH
Giving TLC to your ‘ Tai Yuan ’ (太渊穴) acupuncture point is a particularly good way to relieve a dry or tickly cough.

  • The ‘ Tai Yuan’ acupuncture point is located on the underside of the wrist, below the thumb.
  • Gently massage it 10 times in a clockwise direction.
  • Then massage it 10 times anti-clockwise.
  • Do this three times.
  • Repeat daily or whenever you can.
