Is by NOT doing them while lying down.

I’ve been wearing contact lenses for years now and I didn’t know that I have astigmatism on one eye and none on the other. I mean, my glasses and contacts have a grade of 200 and I thought all it meant was that I have bad vision. While I was shopping for reading glasses, I underwent the standard “vision test”; they show me this chart with lines originating from a center going outward to form an illusion of a circle, and I have to identify if all lines look to have the same density. My left eye said no, while the right one said yes. So I asked the optometrist if that can still be corrected and she told me that I have to correct my bad habits as well – reading and watching TV while lying down. Now, I’ve been told that since childhood and I never really listened. I usually only watch TV before I go to sleep and, besides, I don’t have a comfortable sofa or chair in my apartment. Well, I guess my small, wooden study chair will do for now. I’ll just imagine that I’m watching my favorite TV series or movie in a huge plasma TV inside a home theater seating system, with all high-tech sound system and stuff.
