Astigmatism itself typically does not lead to legal blindness, as it is a common refractive error that can usually be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Legal blindness is defined as having a visual acuity of 20/200 or worse in the better eye or a field of vision of 20 degrees or less. However, if astigmatism is severe and left untreated, it can contribute to significant visual impairment. Regular eye exams and proper corrective measures are essential to manage astigmatism effectively.
What else can I help you with?
Can astigmatism ever be caused by a bang to the head or being dropped as a baby?
Astigmatism is generally caused by irregularities in the shape of the cornea or lens of the eye, not by head trauma or being dropped as a baby. However, certain eye injuries or trauma may contribute to changes in the shape of the cornea or lens, which could potentially lead to astigmatism. It is important to consult with an eye care professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
What is corneal astigmatism?
Astigmatism is blurred vision caused by an irregularly shaped cornea. Astigmatism is when the cornea of the eye is shaped like a rugby ball rather than being spherical. It causes the eye to have two focal points rather than one and can lead to strain and headaches if uncorrected. Astigmatism is the 'Cylinder' value in a prescription. Around 70% of people who wear spectacles have astigmatism. It can also be corrected with toric contact lenses and laser eye surgery. People with severe astigmatism may experience double vision if it not corrected. Astigmatism can indeed worsen with time, as the eye grows and changes. There is nothing you can do to prevent this change and it will only require a change to the prescription in your glasses in order to correct your vision. It is also possible for the astigmatism to go away. It's when the eyeball is not perfectly round.

Is there any link between high eye pressure and astigmatism?
No, not really. Astigmatism simply means your eye is shaped more like a football than a baseball, and can be corrected with glasses. Eye pressure is the inflation pressure of the eyeball, like measuring the pressure of your tires. The eye pressure may be slighty off if measured on a patient VERY high astigmatism, but only by about one point, which is basically not significant. We usually don't pay attention to the astigmatism when measuring eye pressure.
