Can You Improve Astigmatism Naturally?


If you wear glasses or contacts you have likely heard the
term astigmatism before. If you have been diagnosed with
this eye disorder you likely know how frustrating this
condition can be and the limits it can present to nding
comfortable glasses and contacts.
But what is astigmatism really and can you do anything to
improve the condition?
What is Astigmatism?
Astigmatism is a condition of the eye in which the cornea has an irregular or odd shape. This
makes light reect through the eye and on to the retina in an uneven manner and causes focus
problems, making your vision blurry.
While most people believe that astigmatism is a genetic condition, and that there is nothing that
can be done to improve it other than wearing contacts, or having risky refractive surgery, this
may not be the case.
There are actually indications that stress of the eye can cause, or more often worsen the
condition, and that eliminating these stressors can improve astigmatism of the eye.
There are actually two dierent types of astigmatism: regular and irregular.
Regular astigmatism is the type most often referred to, and it is often described as an irregular
shape of the eye, or football shaped eye that is often genetic.
Irregular astigmatism, on the other hand, is usually caused by damage to the eye usually
requires surgery or contacts to improve. While both these types are caused by often
unavoidable factors, ocular stress has been shown to aggravate both types.
Ocular Stress and How to Avoid it

Ocular stress can be caused by a number of stressors including:


Extended hours of computer use: Many jobs now involve computers. Long hours of sitting
in front of a computer screen can cause eye strain and stress. If you are required to do this
kind of work make sure that you take the time to give your eyes a break. Added to the
increased use of computers in the work place is the fact that many of us now have
computers in our homes. Remember to take breaks from the computer, at least vision
breaks.
Reading: Reading books or newspapers was hard enough on our eyes. Now we also have to
take into consideration electronic reading devices like Kindle, Nook, or tablets. This means
that even after working with a computer during the day, you may be coming home and
spending even more time in front of an electronic screen. This is just adding to the eye strain
and stress.
A job that requires a considerable amount of ne detailed work: Detailed work does not
mean that you have to be a master craftsman to worry about this type of stress. Any work
that you do fairly close to your face like reading, writing, sewing, or accounting could be
considered to be detailed work. Our eyes were just not designed for too much close up
work. They were designed to view things at more of a distance.
Ocular stress can also be aggravated by a variety of things including:
working or watching television in low light
not getting enough water
lack of nutrients can also cause weakening of the eyes
Improving any of these stressors, or better yet all of them will possibly improve your
astigmatism, or even more likely prevent the condition from getting any worse!
Lets Look at What We Can Do to Avoid Ocular Stress
When you are working at a computer, reading, or doing other ne detailed work, make sure that
you take the time to give your eyes a break. Try the 10-10-10 Rule throughout the day.
If you have a window handy look at a tree, ower, another building or even the clouds. Dont just
glance up and back take the time to focus on what you see outside the window for a few
seconds.
If youre not near a window focus on something in the room that is distant from where you are
such as art work on the wall, ling cabinets, shelves, or even another workers face.

Blink. Seriously blinking is important and when we are focused on a computer screen or other
detailed work we forget to blink. Blinking allows our eyes to lubricate themselves and relieve
some of the stress and dryness.
Make sure that you have excellent lighting in the area where you are working. Even with an
overhead light you should have task lighting that focuses on what your are doing. Straining to
see when there is insucient light causes strain and stress on your eyes.
Eat right. If you dont have time for an eye healthy diet then make sure that you are taking an
eye vitamin or eye supplement to ensure that your eyes have all the vitamins and nutrients that
they need.
These may sound like they are too simple to actually make a dierence in how your eyes
function. They are simple, but because of that fact many people just dont think about doing
them. Instead of giving their eyes a break they will normally rub their eyes, or the bridge of their
noses. This doesnt relieve the strain and stress in fact it can damage the eye if they are already
dry.
Air conditioning and heater also dry out the air, this leads to irritation and stress on our eyes.
Try adding a humidier to your home or ask your employer about adding one in the oce.
Sometimes the simple things are the easiest to overlook. On the plus side, the simple things are
also usually the easiest to correct.

My son has an extremely strong astigmatism in one eye. We have done patching
therapy and with glasses he is now able to see 20/25. 25 being in his bad eye. The eye
doctor said there wasnt anything that could be done for that eye. Do you think your
products could help with his severe astigmatism?

Hi,
I have a very high degree of astigmatism. I came to know about my problem when I was 18

Orlin,
I have been doing vision therapy exercises for almost six months and I have been seeing
good results.
Here are my results:
Right Eye:
Sphere 2.25
Cylinder 0.25
Axis 180 or 18(his handwriting isnt clear)
Vision 6/5
Left Eye:
Sphere 2.50
Cylinder 0.50
Axis 180 or 18
Vision -6/5
Id like to reduce this prescription by at least 0.5 but the doctor isnt doing so.
I was at 3.5 when I started.(Myopia)
But now as you can see my eyesight has improved well.
Earlier, I just used to buy glasses with a reduced spherical prescription and it worked for
me.
But I think the spherical also needs to be reduced in order for faster improvement and less
eye strain.
My current glasses have the following power:

Cyl:0.50
Axis:180
Vision:6/5
LE:

Cyl:1.0
Axis:170
Vision:6/5
I havent messed around with the cylindrical prescription for my lenses. But I think excess
cylindrical power also causes certain eye issues.
Right now, my eyes feel irritated whenever I wear glasses. Its just not easy as it used to be
to wear glasses at the current power.
Id like to reduce it in a manner that will help me improve my vision fast.
Can you please assist me with this? Id be so grateful if you could help me with this.
I do not have any idea what is cylindrical for and thats why Im worried about messing with
it.
Thanks,
Harry

Hi Vinayak,
Keratoconus is degeneration of the structure of the cornea. The cornea is the clear tissue
covering the front of the eye. The shape of the cornea slowly changes from the normal
round shape to a cone shape.
Since this is a medical condition I would recommend speaking to your eye doctor. To nd

Hi Christopher,
The fastest way is through Lasik Surgery.
I often get asked about how the results of my Ocu-Plus Formula compared to the popular
LASIK Eye Surgery option. While I certainly cannot guarantee that eye vitamins will oer the
immediate results that LASIK surgery can, comparing the two is really like comparing
apples and oranges.

Hi Helene,
Lasik surgery helps to correct your vision by physically reshaping the cornea and adjusting
the focal point of the light entering your eye. This has no bearing or eect on how our OcuPlus Formula works as far as improving your vision and helping you to see clearly
naturally.
There are great testimonials from many people who have had success with Ocu-Plus:

I just recently been told that I have astigmatism however, I have noticed that I can
see perfectly ne at night and in low light. I also have the eyeoaters. I also cant wear
glasses, I have never been able to wear them and I cant even wear sun glasses for more
than 5 minutes without needing to take them o. I have normally had really great vision
until about 8 months ago when I went into the store and all the lights started to hurt my
eyes and make everything blurry and hard to focus. I was also told that the eye oaters
and the astigmatism are not related. I am not sure what to do but I need to be able to see
clearly since I work on the computer for at least 9 hrs a day.

Hi Mr. Orlin, your product is great. When I did not wear my eyeglass, my eyes
improve. I just want to know if I bought new eyeglass if it is OK if I can use 1.25 in left side
rather than 1.50 that my doctor prescribe to me and on my right side of my eye is the
same 1.50 and I will use 1.50.
My latest eye vision is 1.50 on both eyes.

Orlin, thank you so much for all the valuable information.


Is astigmatism the same as keratacornea?
Is there any natural help for advanced keratacornea?
The recommendation was a cornea transplant.
Also, a 31 year old guy has been told that his optic nerve was damaged beyond repair and
his only recourse is to join the Blind Welfare Association. The eye pressure is sky high.
He was heavily into body building and he believes his vision was compromised as a result
of the continuous use of concentrated high protein foods.
Is there any help for him?
Thanks for the response.
