Can you get astigmatism later in life?

Astigmatism means that either the cornea or the lens of the eye is not shaped properly bending light as it enters and creating multiple focal points which are seen as blurriness. Astigmatism is something you're born with. Most people, many who don't wear glasses have some astigmatism, but not enough to notice or cause any problems. Astigmatism may get better or worse while our eyes are still developing usually between the ages of 8-22, but it won't develop suddenly. As we get older, our eyes start to degenerate and we need glasses for reading. A doctor prescribing glasses for reading will correct a very slight astigmatism as well; if you're wearing glasses anyway, you might as well have the best vision possible.
