A member asked:
For 2 weeks i have had tightness around my forehead and temples. also feeling out of body. i recently was diagnosed with astigmatism. what's wrong?

Get corrective lens: If you're not wearing glasses, or contact lenses to correct your astigmatism, it may be tightening the muscles around your forehead and temples. You may be experiencing an eyestrain pattern. So the sooner that you can have the astigmatism corrected, the better you will feel in the body, and reduce the overall tension around your eyes.
