Migraine and vision

A plenty of researches of the visual analyzer have shown presence of its features at patients with a migraine, distinct from healthy. Into structure of the visual analyzer enters not only an eye with its muscular apparatus, but also spending ways of an optic nerve, and also a site of a cortex of a brain to occipital area. At patients with a migraine the level of excitability of a brain is raised, it leads to hypererethism and a susceptibility of the visual analyzer. The additional load on it leads to rising of instability of system, rising of risk of occurrence of an attack.

One of the most widespread reasons of rising of a strain of the visual analyzer is absence of correction of vision or wrong correction. At a myopia or a hyperopia the constant control over change of vision is insufficient. The complex of the special gymnastics, allowing to suspend the further advance of disturbance of vision is necessary. Any good oculist or the ophthalmologist a sign with these exercises also applies them in the practice.

Very important question is wearing glasses. In no event the patient with a migraine cannot neglect references of the oculist on application of glasses for reading and for a distance. To apply a distance spectacles at work behind a computer or at reading it is not authorized. Except for correctly picked up diopters it is necessary to check up correctness of selection of distances centre to centre an eye.

Some words about application of sunglasses. Their frequent application reduces an additional load on the muscular apparatus of an eye and salutarily acts on current of a migraine, reducing probability of an extraordinary attack.

And here work behind a computer or behind a desktop with incorrectly picked up illumination considerably enlarge this probability. As the image on the screen of a computer represents high-pitched submission of the image it leads to body height of a strain in the visual analyzer. Therefore recommended restrictions for work on a computer the following: five-minute breaks in current of each business hour behind a computer are necessary, and also operation time should not make more than 6 hours per day in view of an one hour's interval in the middle of this working day.

Long tiring driving of the car on greater distances also can lead to occurrence of an attack. It is bound as to the raised load on vision, and the raised intense attention, that in aggregate leads to occurrence of hypererethism of a cortex and at action of such provoking factor as exhaust gases from which it is not possible to be to the full protected neither to the driver, nor the passenger can lead to occurrence of an attack. Presence near at hand Zomig will allow to take out effectively an attack and to prevent occurrence repeated, however keeping of the set forth above rules of the attitude to the vision should obligatory for the patients, suffering a migraine.

Migraine of the chief

The migraine proceeds variously both at people with various temperament, and at the people, engaged various kinds of activity. And it is very important, as approaches to modern treatment not only necessarily consider it, but also have the basic features.

For the beginning we shall try to try on on themselves a life of the principal, with its cares, griefs and pleasures. It is known, that for work on a supervising post it is necessary not only a special warehouse of character, skills and abilities, but also special personal qualities without which to cope with administrative activity difficultly. Even after passage of the numerous trainings training to art of administration and management by people.


All these problems are products of demands of a modern society, for success in which efforts, and at times superefforts are required not simply. If to combine all aforesaid and to add to it the responsibility for result own and results of subordinates and to set up all this on shoulders of the person, suffering a migraine, to become clearly why the migraine of the chief proceeds so hardly, happens frequent and it is persistent in the current.

One more feature of a migraine of the chief is that very often attacks proceed on the days off. It leads to formation of a vicious circle as the attack does not allow the person to receive enough of rest, that aggravates current of a migraine even more and worsens state of health. Quite often similar situation leads to failures therefore the person appears on the sick-list, as has under itself some positive effect - the responsibility from the person who has burned down on work, is taken out.

Naturally the question follows - how to make so that despite of emotional and labour overloads, disturbance of a regimen of work and rest, feature of the person which do not allow to sit on a place and force to strain to be in action, make despite of everything so that the migraine has ceased to disturb the person, not bringing huge physical, power and labour, so also financial, losses?

Certainly, the person borrowed by administrative activity accepts series of the physiotherapeutic procedures leading depression both physical, and a mental strain. But it is exact not a bath with vodka, and not night vigils in entertaining complexes. Show the high efficiency navigation, regular employment in an exercise room, walks on the nature, relaxing massage. The bath and a sauna have no expressed preventive effect and in some cases can provoke an attack owing to oxygen starvation and loss of a plenty of the liquid often occuring owing to a long overheat.

To break off a pathological vicious circle and during the necessary moment to stop an attack, not having given it to be developed, reception of specialized preparations is necessary. One of the best preparations of this group is Zomig, it is fast both reliably preventing development of an attack and warning occurrence of repeated attacks.

You, undoubtedly know, that application of usual analgetics, such as Aspirinum, Analginum and their derivatives, not only is ineffective in case of a migraine, but in due course can become the reason of an exacerbation of a migraine and occurrence of the medicinal dependence putting an irreparable harm.

The combination of correct treatment and keeping of a regimen of work and rest will allow you to facilitate considerably current of a migraine and will save health, time and good mood.
