Wearing corrective lenses while awake can help reduce the symptoms of astigmatism such as headaches and blurred vision. This is because corrective lenses help adjust the shape of the eye's cornea, improving the way light enters the eye and reducing the distortion that causes symptoms. Applying cool compresses, removing corrective lenses, or massaging the eye canthus will not directly address the underlying problem in astigmatism.
