Here are two ways you can give your eyes a break.

• The first way is by, warming up the eyes. A good way to do this is to walk outside, sit down, and close your eyes from 10 to 15 minutes. The heat warms up your eyeballs so they can work better. Do not stare at the sun, that can even hurt your eyes when there closed. You simply want to warm them up a little.

• The second way is by, stretching your eyes. Just like working out you have to stretch the muscles you are going to be using. Simply by moving the eyes back and forth a few times slowly will do the trick. Move them to the right, then hold for a few seconds. Move them to the left and do the same. Then up and down, and you can look at your nose for extra stretchability. 

How to correct astigmatism: The most common vision problem

Astigmatism is an eye condition with blurred vision as it's main symptom. The front surface of the eye (cornea) of a person with astigmatism is not curved properly. The curve is irregular, usually one half is flatter than the other. Sometimes one area is steeper than it should be.

The two most common types of astigmatism are:

• Corneal Astigmatism: the cornea has an irregular shape
• Lenticular Astigmatism: the lens has an irregular shape

Either kind of astigmatism can usually be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. Many people that have an astigmatism problem don't notice they have it. Sometimes uncorrected astigmatism can give you headaches or eye strain and distort or blur your vision at all distances. In order to see if you have astigmatism you want to make sure you schedule an eye exam. You have to watch because children may be even more unaware of the condition than adults, and they are unlikely to complain about blurred or distorted vision. You want to detect astigmatism as early as possible.
