A manual on the natural care of the eye with exercises to improve eyesight & treat various eye disorders. Also includes letters by Sri Aurobindo on yogic vision

My son often gets headache while reading; the doctor has prescribed glasses of +0.25 to correct his astigmatism. I want to know what is astigmatism. Is it curable by your treatment?
The cornea of the eye is circular like a watch glass. It has two principal meridians—one horizontal and one vertical, each at a right angle to the other. When one meridian is flatter or more convex than the other, the eye develops astigmatism. Astigmatism is curable like other errors of refraction by eye education and mental relaxation exercises. Reading fine print is extremely helpful in such cases.
What is mixed astigmatism? Is it also curable?
