    Astigmatism is a common eye disorder which can be corrected - e.g. with glasses or contact lenses. I have had astigmatism for over 60 years. Most people who have it are born with it. Has your astigmatism developed recently? What diagnosis has your clinic provided?

      hello Siempre,i have had astigmatism for a while now , what scares me is that even with glasses i cannot see weel . my clinic says that there is nothing much they can do for my eye. i was given a higther prescription on glasses but it made little difference. i have  heard about toric lenses and RGP Lences for people with astigmatism but dont know if they work for me.
