Swimming is possible for people with astigmatism and does not exacerbate the severity of astigmatism.
Astigmatism is a type of refractive error that affects the patient’s vision, and the higher the degree of astigmatism, the greater the impact on vision.
Astigmatism is mainly caused by developmental abnormalities or bad eye habits such as chronic squinting, as well as distortion of the cornea due to ptosis.
Swimming is not the cause of astigmatism, so astigmatism patients can swim, and will not aggravate the condition of astigmatism, but also has no effect on the treatment of astigmatism.
Patients with astigmatism should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in a timely manner, and the doctor will determine the exact amount of astigmatism, the axis of astigmatism and other indicators through optometry, and then formulate a treatment plan for the patient.
