This is an Introduction to Astigmatism. We explore the reason behind the practice and how Vision Yoga benefits eyesight issues.

Astigmatism is a common eyesight issue that's caused by the cornea and/or lens of the eye being lopsided or misshapen. It is usually accompanied with Myopia and/or Hyperopia.

Forest concluded that many cases of astigmatism are functional.
