There’s a virtual truckload of research extolling the numerous health benefits of vitamin C, both for the eyes and for the body.
Vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant that has been proven to reduce the chances of getting cataracts, Macular Degeneration, glaucoma and other eye problems.
For example, the antioxidant qualities of vitamin C help prevent the crystallization and accumulation of foreign molecules that result in the blurred vision of cataracts.
Some eye doctors think that Vitamin C can also help with nearsightedness because it is a necessary element in maintaining the structural integrity of the eyeball. (Vitamin C deficiency may contribute to the nearsighted elongation of the eyeball and the resulting weakening of the eyes’ layers.)

Q: What Is Astigmatism And Can It Be Changed?
A: Astigmatism is a condition in which your vision at all distances may be blurred or distorted, occurring when there is an irregularity or distortion in the shape of the front surface (cornea) of the eye or of the lens.
Light entering the eye is focused at multiple points on the retina, which may result in double images or a “ghosting” effect.
Have you ever looked through a window pane in an older house? The glass is wavy, but if you look through it at one angle everything on the other side is clear, yet if you look through it at another angle, everything is blurry.
That’s what astigmatism is – it’s not the distance from your eyes, it’s the angle (or direction) of the light that causes the blurriness.
A person can have astigmatism whether or not they have other vision issues, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Astigmatism can greatly interfere with clear seeing. Besides blurring your vision, it can cause double images, distorted vision, headaches, eye strain, neck and shoulder tension, tiredness and eye fatigue.

1. People always ask me what they can do for astigmatism.
http://www.experts-at.com/Better-Vision/For-You.htm
Here’s one thing I recommend: (From The Better Vision Program)
When doing Eye Stretches (from Vision Chart Techniques in The Program for Better Vision) hold your head turned in each of these four different positions:
To the right, left, up and down. When you find the head position in which it is the most difficult to do the Eye Stretches comfortably – that’s the position to practice most. It’ll work out the muscular imbalances that contribute to astigmatism.
Practice often throughout the day, only 10 – 12 stretches each time, first clockwise and then counter-clockwise.
(Not sure if you have astigmatism? Answer questions 7 & 8 from the vision test on the site.)

Being able to look up into the distance is the most important way that you can rest your eyes doing computer work.
Ideally, you want to set up your computer so that you can look “beyond the screen” to the farthest object in the room, something that is at least 10-feet away.
If possible, you don’t want to be in a corner, or face a wall or a window. (Window light is another source of unwanted stress.) Instead, if possible, try facing a doorway so that your distance view is down the hall.
But – if your computer is in a corner, or if you work in a small space, simply place a small mirror on top of your monitor or on your desk. You can effectively use this mirror to give your eyes a distant view by looking through it and focusing on objects that you see behind you. Doing this will rest your eyes. (Rest also helps prevent the accumulation of visual stress.)
It’s best for your eyes to look into the distance at least once every 3 to 5 minutes. More often is okay, too. The look into the distance only needs to last for a few seconds to be restful to your eyes.
I am doing this myself, and it has even helped me focus for night driving. And, the mirror gives me a glimpse into the world as I work. I love it.
