- Lilium Tigrinum
- Physostigma
- Sepia
- Onosmodium
Acupuncture & Acupressure Treatment of Astigmatism
Acupuncture helps to increase the blood flow to the brain and eye. It helps in stimulating the retinal nerve growth factors and leading to metabolic changes in the central nervous system. It focuses on the activation of eye muscles to facilitate eye focusing.
Conventional / Allopathic Treatment of Astigmatism
The conventional or allopathic treatment for Astigmatism is the use of glasses and contact lenses.
Surgical Treatment of Astigmatism
There are different types of surgeries that are used in the treatment of astigmatism:
- Photoreactive keratectomy (PRK) – in this process the outer protective layer of the cornea is removed before using an excimer laser to change the curvature of the cornea.
- Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) – An instrument called a keratome is used to make a thin, circular hinged cut into your cornea. The surgeon lifts the flap and then uses an excimer laser to sculpt the shape of the cornea under the flap.
- Laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) – In this procedure, a much thinner layer of cornea is folded back, which makes your eye less vulnerable to damage should an injury occur.
Dietary & Herbal Treatment of Astigmatism
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
- Eat dark green leafy foods
- Eat foods rich in vitamin A
- Avoid the intake of refined sugars and processed foods
