You hit the nail on the head.  I have severe astigmatism in one eye and slight astigmatism in the other.  If I don't wear the proper contact lenses in each eye my vision is extremely blurry and eventually I will get a headache.

Do do do be careful!!!\nOne friend had it and did fine.\nAnother is having 1-2 surgeries a month on both eyes to correct what they did to her with Lasik--she walks around with a squint. I'm afraid she may loose her vision because of this.

Im not sure if head trauma can cause this later on in life , but I do know that one is usually born with this condition. I have two family members which have suffered from this and I myself have what is known as a "lazy-eye" and all of us have been born with this eye condition. However, there are corrective measures as well as surgeries and it's too bad this little darling wasnt given the chance at having one.

Yea, I was getting that earlier today. It's just eye strain, your muscles in your eyes are tired. I get it when looking at a computer screen for too long. Just focus on something far away for a little bit.

Hi I have those too.  I was listening to a natural doctor on AM Radio and he told another lady to go to the eye doctor just in case it was something different, but that there isn't anything that can be done for them.  They are just annoying.

I recently started doing eye exercises to improve my vision. I am seeing some improvements, which is great encouragement to continue.\n\nI created a website and a blog so that people can follow my progress. Check it out...\n\nhttp://www.improvingmyeyesight.com/\n\nThere is also an article which talks about nutrition and eye care\nhttp://improvingmyeyesight.com/Nutrition_and_Eye_Health.html

Well, for a short sighted person it is pretty normal. I am 22 and my eyes are both at a -6. They say that your eyes worsen until the age of 18 and then it should stop. Do not be distressed, your eyesight is not that bad when compared to mine.

You should see an eye doctor to be sure. It could be stress, however, it could be something else. I'd check with a professional to be sure.

I've had relief from short sight (along with astigmatism) and tension in my eyes using ayurveda. Its effects were almost instant. Just a few hours. \nMaybe you wanna check it out.

See your doctor but ... I used to get a lot of headaches.  It was caused by the sun reflecting off paper where I worked.  The optician (thief) suggested tinted glasses because he said I was also long sighted.  I bought the glasses and the headaches went.  Then winter came i.e. no sun, and I stopped wearing the glasses.  It's only now, 27 years later, and never wearing those glasses again that I am very, very slightly short sighted.  This is probably no help to you just wanted to get it off my chest.  p.s.  I've had eye tests regularly over the years and my eyes have been perfect.

yes!  my sister had lasik and has had all kinds of eye problems since then, going back for several follow up visits and now they say, oops, you might go blind in that eye but that's a risk if you look at the small print.  there was also a radio announcer in our area that had lasik and ended up having continual problems.  on the other hand, 3 other siblings had lasik without a problem.  there are alternatives if you have a stigmatism, but it's more complicated and the buy one get one free docs don't do it

Some people have trouble with toric contacts (for astigmatism).  They have to sit a certain way on your eye and if they rotate at all, it can make things pretty blurry.  The lenses have something that's kind of like a weight on the bottom so that they sit straight on your eye.  There are a couple of different designs, so if one doesn't work for you, your eye doctor may try another.

Yes, I do and the eye Dr told me I have cataracts. He said night blindness is really caused by cataracts. He told me to wait another year to have them removed but my night vision is getting so bad I am almost afraid to drive. I may have it done sooner.

In optics, astigmatism is when an optical system has different foci for rays that propagate in two perpendicular planes. If an optical system with astigmatism is used to form an image of a cross, the vertical and horizontal lines will be in sharp focus at two different distances.\n\nThere are two distinct forms of astigmatism. The first is a third-order aberration, which occurs for objects (or parts of objects) away from the optical axis. This form of aberration occurs even when the optical system is perfectly symmetrical. This is often referred to as a "monochromatic aberration", because it occurs even for light of a single wavelength. This terminology may be misleading, however, as the amount of aberration can vary strongly with wavelength in an optical system.\n\nThe second form of astigmatism occurs when the optical system is not symmetric about the optical axis. This may be by design (as in the case of a cylindrical lens), or due to manufacturing error in the surfaces of the components or misalignment of the components. In this case, astigmatism is observed even for rays from on-axis object points. This form of astigmatism is extremely important in ophthalmology, since the human eye often exhibits this aberration due to imperfections in the shape of the cornea or the lens.

apply for regular astigmatism its way better than the irregular variety

Haha...yeah! I go to the doctors, and they say I have 20-20 vision...but I know for a fact, that when I look at things far away...they are somewhat blurry. My right eye is worse than my left. So I finally went to the doctor. And without straining I tried to guess the letters. I got one wrong and the guy was like..ooo! You need glasses! So I got a prescription with only the right eye...like, there are lenses, but only the right one helps me see better...if that makes sense. So yeah...I have glasses, but I don't use them.
