Astigmatism that affects your vision needs to be corrected with glasses.
Astigmatism is a common ophthalmologic condition and is a type of refractive error. The main symptom of astigmatism is blurred vision, and some patients also have symptoms such as skewed and distorted vision.
Astigmatism is caused by irregularities in the cornea, for example, the curvature of the cornea in the vertical direction is greater than the curvature of the cornea in the horizontal direction, which affects the vision and needs to be corrected by wearing glasses.
Patients need to go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for an optometry examination to determine the degree of astigmatism, the axis of astigmatism and other indicators, and then the doctor will issue a prescription for spectacles, and then test and fit the glasses for correction.
