Glasses, contacts, or surgery. These are the usual choices offered to those of us with bad vision. Orlin Sorensen, though, needed an alternative. A commercial airline pilot who found himself in jeopardy of being downsized after the 9/11 tragedies, Sorensen decided to go for broke and pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a Navy fighter pilot. The only catch was that Navy fighter candidates were required to have near-perfect, uncorrected vision — no surgery allowed.

As for so many who seek different medical options, it was word of mouth that led Sorensen down a different path: a fellow pilot suggested eye exercises to naturally correct vision. Turns out, the exercises weren’t so much the “road not taken” as the “road not taken in a while.” Sorensen’s research revealed that natural vision training, in fact, had been around for almost a century.

Astigmatism occurs in individuals who have a cornea shaped like a football. The cornea should be shaped like a baseball in order to reflect light correctly. When it is shaped like a football there is more than one curve on the cornea, generally a steep one and a flat one. This causes light to reflect on more than one point in the retina which results in blurry vision for the patient. Frequently nearsightedness or farsightedness occur with astigmatism.

There is not necessarily a cure for astigmatism. However, there are a variety of ways to correct astigmatism that include surgery, glasses or contacts.

Unless you are one of those people who simply feels they look better with corrective lenses, then you would probably give anything to be free of them. Fortunately, you don’t have to give anything-you just have to come up with some money for LASIK surgery. If you aren’t convinced on a purely convenience-related level, then here are some concrete facts that may help you in your decision making.

Increased Vision
One of the biggest reasons to prefer LASIK surgery over corrective lenses if the broader scope of vision. That’s right-having your eyes surgically corrected will improve the full scope of vision in your eyes. If you’ve worn glasses for some time, you may be used to not having good peripheral vision. Look out of the corners of your eyes and what do you see? If your eyesight is bad enough, then the answer is: not much. With corrective surgery, this becomes a thing of the past. No more waking up in the middle of the night, fumbling for your glasses in order to see the alarm clock. No more worrying about what you’re going to do when you lose a contact and you don’t have any backups left. These things become a thing of the past, and few people are sad to see them go.
