Scientists warn that stress does not have the best effect on a person’s vision, becoming one of the causes of many of his disorders and problems. The mechanisms by which stress affects visual function appear to be quite varied.
First, stress activates hormone levels in the blood. Cortisol and adrenaline, which are released during periods of stress, not only mobilize the body to combat danger, but also have a direct effect on the visual system.
Dilation of the pupils caused by adrenaline can lead to overexertion of the eye muscles and discomfort in the eyes. vision. An increase in cortisol levels, on the one hand, contributes to better illumination of the eyes, but, on the other hand, can disrupt normal blood flow and lead to dry and tired eyes.
However, it's not just hormonal changes that can cause problems. Stress can cause breathing problems, which in turn reduces oxygen levels in the blood and eye tissues. This can have a negative impact on the functioning of the retina and even lead to its damage.
In addition to physiological changes, stress also has a psychological effect on visual function. Stress, anxiety, and depression can cause symptoms of existing conditions such as dry eye or central serous chorioretinopathy to worsen. This creates a vicious circle where stress increases vision problems, which in turn increases stress.
However, according to experts, not everything is so hopeless. Doctors recommend a comprehensive approach to the treatment and prevention of stress-related vision problems. This includes not only traditional healing methods, but also relaxation and stress reduction techniques. Yoga, meditation, deep breathing — all this can help not only cope with emotional discomfort, but also improve the condition of the eyes and vision.
