Questions About Astigmatism

My vision is mildly blurred. I recently went to the eye doctor and
found out that I have astigmatism. I got eyeglasses, and things are
much clearer. However, when I tilt my head to the side, everything
looks skewed. I was wondering if there are people here with
astigmatism and can possibly please post their thoughts about this --
whether it is normal or not -- and comments about astigmatism would
also be helpful.

By the way, my doctor says I just have to get used to the glasses, but
seriously, how can you get used to the things having an oblique or
slanting view? If I look straight without tilting my head everything
is fine. Do people with astigmatism have to keep their heads perfectly
straight and move like robots to avoid tilting?

Thank you in advance. I look forward to resourceful responses.

 

There are none...

The asnwer the idiot-doctor gave you when he discovered your
astigmatism, is just wrong.

You simply have one particular eyemuscle which strains too much and
puts the eye out of shape.

You should learn how to relax that muscle and cure the astigmatism
without glasses.

There is no other answer possible.

The glasses of your idiot-doctor are just injurious things you'd be
better to trash quickly never to be put on again.

You may have noticed that once your eyes "get accustomed", when you
leav off the glasses, vision is MUCH poorer than before.

You may also be able to notice that if you stay away from your glasses
for few days, preferably staying in the open light of the sun, you
will regain a measure of good eyesight without glasses.


Now these things are real and you can test them very easily if you
want.


How these pompous professionals here can avoid to discuss these simple
truths, is really insulting.

 

Solution. Don't tilt your head

Solution: just do as the terrorist do, keep a good kinfe and slice
away your head.

It won't tilt anymore, and a great butchery would have been performed
again and again for the solace of the criminals who like it.

 

That's a bit like the old joke when the guy goes to the doctor and
says my ear hurts when I press just on the lobe here, and the doc
replies "well don't press there then". Of course it isn't the answer.
Moving one's head is a part of everyday living. I suppose they could
have said to me when I complained that progressives meant blur to blur
when looking right and left while crossing the road "well don't cross
roads then". I didn't choose that option and got a refund.
