Astigmatism and myopia are two different types of refractive errors that can occur together. Both can jeopardize a patient’s vision, so it’s not easy to say which one is more serious.
Myopia is caused by light rays refracting into the eye and converging to form a focal point in front of the retina, while astigmatism is caused by light rays refracting into the eye and failing to converge to form a focal point, but instead forming a line of focus. Both myopia and astigmatism can cause vision loss and should be corrected in time to improve the patient’s vision.
It is recommended that patients with myopia and astigmatism visit a hospital in a timely manner to have their condition evaluated and treated according to the doctor’s instructions.
