If the astigmatism can be fully corrected, it is possible to drive. If the astigmatism is large and difficult to fully correct, most people are not allowed to drive.
Low astigmatism has less impact on vision, patients can see clearly when driving and can drive.
Moderate astigmatism and high astigmatism have a greater impact on vision. If the vision can be completely corrected by wearing glasses or refractive surgery, the patient can also see clearly when driving and can drive.
High astigmatism has a greater impact on vision, which may cause amblyopia. Even if the vision is not fully corrected by wearing glasses or refractive surgery, patients are not allowed to drive because it is not clear to see objects at a distance during driving, which is easy to be dangerous.
It is recommended that patients seek timely medical treatment to correct astigmatism.
