The eye condition Astigmatism is an error of refraction caused by a misshaped cornea. These eye exercises will improve your eyesight by retraining the brain to see an image with more contrast and potentially change the shape of the cornea.
Astigmatism Eye Exercises Step-By-Step
Eye Exercise 1 – Reading:
1) Remove any corrective lenses i.e glasses and contact lenses.
2) Whilst reading a paragraph on a page of text or an eye chart, flash an object directly in front of your eyes for a split second. The object you flash can be a page with letters just like the Large and Small Print or a deck of cards. For example, you could be reading an the 10 Foot Eye Chart, “E, N, D . . .” and then glance to recognize the Queen of Spades as you flash this card in front of your eyes.
3) Quickly look back at the text and continue to read.
4) Repeat this sequence for 5 minutes unless your eyes feel fatigued.

5) Repeat this sequence for 5 minutes unless your eyes feel fatigued.
6) Palm for 5 deep breaths
7) If your eyes feel strong enough continue the eye exercise after the palming.
