Astigmatism

Your Body Is Speaking
Your cornea is not evenly curved. Instead of a round shape like a sphere, it has the shape of an egg — more steeply curved in one axis than the other. This means: light rays entering the eye are not focused at a single point, but along two different focal lines. Your eye literally sees the world through two different refractions simultaneously. The image becomes blurry, distorted, never quite clear.
And that is precisely the message.
Within you, two lines exist that do not come together. Two directions pulling at the same time. Two versions of you that never unite into one clear image. Your body shows you at the most sensitive point — at your eyes, the place where you take the world in — that something inside you is divided. Not broken. But pulled apart. Like two tracks that at some point stopped running parallel.
