I'm sorry, but am I reading this correctly that after you started supplementing your Vit D that your astigmatism went away? I have some rather expensive glasses that I didn't think were affected by diet...


Yes. My ophthalmologist said it was specifically due to reduced plasticity in the retina, which caused variable astigmatism. He's a top researcher/published on this specific thing.

(Obviously this is not the majority of astigmatism causes in the broader world, but was for me. Another interesting cause is parasites in eyelids, treatable with ivermectin, lol.)

(Dr. McMillan is probably the best medical doctor of any specialty I've ever interacted with in any context, and I worked in hospitals for years.)
