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.

What does An achromatic lens consists of?
Achromatic Lenses consist of two or more elements, usually of crown and flint glass that have been corrected for chromatic aberration with respect to two selected wavelengths. by jay-j
Why is chromatic aberration more evident for some positions of the aperture?
The further the aperture is from the optical axis of the lens, the more to the side of the lens the incident light falls. The further the light falls from the optical axis, the greater the effects of chromatic aberration. This is because different wavelengths of light have different refractive indices (dispersion). Because of Snell's Law, n1sintheta1=n2sintheta2, the greater the angle of incidence, the more pronounced the effects of the difference in refractive indices. Spherical aberration further enhances the chromatic dispersion.
Image formed by spherical mirror?
real and virtual images are formed by spherical mirror .
When was Still Life with Spherical Mirror created?
Still Life with Spherical Mirror was created in 1934.
Is fermi surface always spherical?
No , Fermi Surface is not always spherical . Because the kinetic energy is not same.
Is microscopic lens corrected for chromatic aberrations?
Not all microscopic lenses are corrected for chromatic aberrations. Many times they will be for use in some places like laboratories and similar.
Is your lens corrected for aberrations?
not totally, chromatic aberrations can be minimized by the use of filers (usually blue); or by lenses corrrected red, blue, and other wavelengths, called apochromatic lenses. The most loogical, but most expensive method of eliminating chromatic aberrations is to use a light source of one wavelength, or monochromatic light.
Which eyepiece ramsden's or huygen's gives a superior image?
hygen's eyepiece gives a superior image because spherical and chromatic aberrations are minimised than that of ramsden's eyepiece
Early telescope makers compensated for chromatic aberration by?
Newton realized that mirrors do not cause chromatic aberrations, and built a telescope using them.
What has the author R S Clay written?
R. S. Clay has written: 'The chromatic aberrations of the eye in relation to three-colour photography' 'Variations in the size and positions of the images in three-colour work, caused by the colour filters' 'Aberrations due to liquid filters'
What is the cause of the defect that exist in all single lenses?
defect that exist in all single lenses:1. Spherical aberration2. Chromatic aberration
Can spherical abberation be corrected by combination of lenses?
Spherical aberration can be minimized by several methods: Changing curvature of both surfaces of a lens allows sharp focus at a particular distance. Aspheric lenses - i.e. lenses with a special non-spherical profile, is another.
What is an aplanat?
An aplanat is a lens which has been corrected for spherical aberration in order to produce a rectilinear image - an image with straight lines.
When was Aberrations of the Mind created?
Aberrations of the Mind was created on 2007-03-19.
What limits the size of a refracting a telescope and why?
Mass. A refracting telescope needs to be either really long, or have really thick lenses. In either case, the mass of the telescope limits how large you can make it, if you want to be able to change its direction.
What is the aberrations of Alabama?
