Is astigmatism treatable?!
Question:
Is astigmatism treatable?
I have mild astigmatism and wondering if there is any Yoga, Ayurvedic treatment for it? Can it be cured,

EYE EXERCISES!! I read, somewhere, that astigmatism is caused by weak muscles around the eye. I have it, and I tried them, and they seemed to help.
1. Cross your eyes. Look at the tip of your nose, until you feel it. Then, try to hold it. Very difficult, but one day you can do it. It is getting easier for me.
2. Imagine a big clock in front of you, up close. Look straight ahead. Stretch your eyes to 12:00 or as high as you can get them. Hold for a second or as long as you can. Then go back to the center. While your eyes are traveling up and down, try to control the movement and look at everything. (At first, my eyes seemed to go "black", but now they don't and it doesn't hurt as bad.) Do this for every number on a clock.
3. Hold a pencil in front of you with the tip up. Stare at the tip. Move it back and forth in front of your nose. and follow the ONE tip. When you do this you will know what I mean.

There are other eye exercises out there. Try searching the Internet for eye exercises. There are some videos out too. But I don't know any of the info.
