What Causes Astigmatism to Worsen?
For the most part, astigmatism stays the same or changes gradually from one eye appointment to the next. But like other eye issues, your vision can change with time--and sometimes for no obvious reason.
What causes astigmatism to worsen? It depends on you and your eyes. Your astigmatism symptoms may be more severe if you have other refractive issues or if you have keratoconus. The length of time you’ve had astigmatism also plays a role in your condition’s progression.
The most effective way to find out why your astigmatism is changing (or appears to be changing) is to schedule a comprehensive eye exam with an Independent Doctor of Optometry. We recommend them every year for adults and children over age 6 to mitigate any vision issues or other eye health problems.
