Enroll in Course
Do you see starbursts around lights at night? What about multiple moons in the night sky? Is there a pesky row of "ghost" letters next to the "real" letters on your eye chart or the text on your screen?
Astigmatism may be the cause of these visual disturbances. Although it is a highly common refractive error that can accompany both myopia (nearsightedness) and presbyopia (farsightedness), it is one of the less understood vision problems... and honestly, one of the more scary-sounding ones.
However, according to Dr. William Bates, the founder of holistic eye care, it is one of the most fluid vision issues and one that can be resolved rather simply. After Dr. Bates help countless people eliminate astigmatism in his lifetime, Dr. Elliott Forrest carried on the torch with his functional model of astigmatism treatment, which looks at the link between body posture and eye movements. Then practitioners like Martin Brofman studied the deeper psychological and emotional aspects to illuminate what might be behind the mechanism of astigmatism. All of this combined can help you to understand astigmatism better and to alleviate it to the point of no longer needing corrective lenses for it.
In this empowering four-week group class series, you’ll explore natural, practical techniques to let go of strain and rediscover the freedom of undistorted vision.
