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.

Many Wal-Marts have vision centers now too, you can have your eyes checked there and get a prescription if you need glasses.

How can spherical and chromatic aberrations be corrected?
The best you can do is take very good care of your eyes. This may not prevent the astigmatism from becoming worse though. You can slow the rate at which it worsens by not putting extra strain on your eyes. Make certain that your prescription is up to date, that you always wear your glasses (wearing glasses everyday has been shown in some cases to improve vision, while wearing contacts has been show to slightly worsen vision) and make certain your glasses are well fitted (by your optician), clean and in good shape. Always wear sunglasses when in bright light and if you spend a lot of time in front of television or computer screens make sure the image is large enough and that you do not sit too close to tube-style screens. If possible switch to LCD. Glasses with glare-reducing coatings can help also, these can be more prone to scrating though. It may be best to get glare-reduced reading glasses and scratch-free coated glasses for out-and-about wear. Any astigmatism may worsen over time but your optometrist can help you manage it.
