What Is Astigmatism?
7. Can Astigmatism Benefit from Lifestyle Changes?
The answer is yes. Astigmatism and other eye problems can benefit from some lifestyle changes. Quitting smoking is one of the best things to do for your eyes and indeed your overall health. Smoking causes inflammation in the eyes and cataracts. Smoking may also lead to blindness in old age.
Astigmatism, if not inherited, can benefit from regular exercise. Other eye problems such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration can also benefit from regular exercise. Wearing eyeglasses that can prevent UVA and UVB is important to protect the eyes. Note that astigmatism can be one of the results of the damages caused by overexposure to sun rays.
