If you suffer from astigmatism, you know how difficult it is to see even when you’re up close. You feel as if you’ve gone completely blind when you’re not wearing corrective lenses. You probably think that you’ll have to wear those contacts or glasses for the rest of your life.
Most people don’t understand what astigmatism really is. In a nutshell, it’s when your cornea is shaped like a football. This keeps the light from reflecting into your eye in the right directions and causes the distortion that nearsighted and farsighted people suffer from. Most people inherit astigmatism from their family members. However, some develop it over their lifetime. In any case, you’ll probably want to know how it can be fixed without invasive surgery.
You can benefit from natural astigmatism correction. This corrective therapy offers a way to help train your eye to reflect light the way it’s supposed to. If done correctly, these vision exercises can help your eyes relax and see better without having to touch them at all. In essence, you will still technically have astigmatism but your eye will have learned to adjust to the imperfection and still allow the proper light to reflect into your eye the way it should.
The greatest benefit of these eye exercises is how relaxed your eye will feel after you perform them. In order for the correction to work you need to make sure that your eyes are relaxed enough to accept the change in behavior you are helping them adjust to. The end result is a natural way to see better.
