Do you have astigmatism? Do you have cylindrical corrections (cylindrical diopters) on glasses or contact lenses? Then these eye exercises for astigmatism are for you. Here I will show different eye exercises that help stretch the 4 rectus muscles in the eye (superior rectus, inferior rectus, internal rectus, external rectus) that are responsible for moving the eyes up and down and left and right.
Sometimes these muscles are very tight and can be the reason we have astigmatism.
The exercises are adapted from the father of eye training, dr. William Bates.
