No, a scratch typically will not cause astigmatism to worsen. Astigmatism is usually caused by imperfections in the curvature of the eye's cornea or lens, and it is not typically affected by external factors like scratches. If you have concerns about changes in your astigmatism, it's best to consult with an eye care professional for an evaluation.
Are you referring to astigmatism, which is an eye condition in which the lens of the eye is malformed (not perfectly spherical) and makes the person afflicted often feel as though they see the world as though its under water...
the defective curvature on the cornea or lens is called Astigmatism
An irregularly shaped cornea is called astigmatism. This condition occurs when the cornea has an uneven curvature, resulting in blurred or distorted vision at all distances. Astigmatism can often be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
No, air cannot scratch a disc by itself. Scratches on discs typically occur when there is direct physical contact with a rough surface or an object that can cause damage.
A diamond can scratch a diamond, but one diamond cannot scratch itself.
No. Anisocoria is a difference in pupil size and has nothing to do with astigmatism, which is a variation of the cornea or lens of the eye.

An astigmatism means that the shape of the optics cause the focus to be a line rather than a point (the lenses are not spherical). Thus the image produced by these lenses is imperfect, causing a blurred image/vision.
Laser correction surgery can be performed on people with an astigmatism, but check with your eye care professional. Depending on what needs to be corrected, some cases may not be good candidates.
Astigmatism is a medical condition. One in a million patients have it.
Cat-scratch disease is caused by Bartonella henselae
Astigmatism can cause blurry or distorted vision, eye strain, headaches, and difficulty seeing in low-light conditions. It occurs when the cornea or lens of the eye is irregularly shaped, leading to difficulty focusing light onto the retina. Regular eye exams can help diagnose and correct astigmatism with glasses, contacts, or refractive surgery.
It may be worse then average, but It depends on what kind of vision you have. Like 20/30 in astigmatism is bad, but 20/30 in farsightedness is.
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.
