Abstract

Introduction: Regular Astigmatism is one of the most common problems for the eye; it makes a patient
unable to see things clearly. Therefore, the aim of the study estimates the incidence of regular astigmatism

pulled during treatment sessions to get rid of regular astigmatism and improve vision without the use of
glasses or surgery to patients.
Materials and Method: The method used in this study was a cross-sectional analysis of 100 cases (51
males) (49 females) with different types of astigmatism through physical exercise. The data analysed using
