What Is Astigmatism?
10. Long-Term Outlook
If left untreated, it will no longer be just about astigmatism because other eye problems will most probably appear. The reduction of visual acuity is just the beginning. Dry eyes, inflammation, cataracts, glaucoma, and other eye problems may follow. Generally, astigmatism cannot be prevented. Therefore, once it happens, it should be corrected.
Once astigmatism is corrected, you do not have to worry about it anymore because it will not happen again in your lifetime.
