I have astigmatism in my right eye. Do I have to wear glasses? just to read or all the time??
Answers: It depends on how much astigmatism you have, for one. If you have a very low amount, glasses or contacts may not be worth it, since your vision isn't really very impaired. Usually though, people with astigmatism benefit the most from wearing glasses or contacts full time. This is because astigmatism doesn't just affect close or far away vision, it causes vision at all distances to be blurry. I have a relatively high amount of astimatism in both eyes, so I can't really read, drive, or do much of anything without glasses or contacts... Makes activities like swimming difficult, since it isn't a very good idea to wear glasses or contacts while doing it!
It depends on how bad your prescription is. Also, depends on how bad your other eye is. If one eye is doing all the work this can cause headaches and eye strain. Glasses can even it out so they are each pulling their own weight.
