Ugh. I had fairly stable myopia and was content. Recently developed astigmatism in my strong eye and so my overall vision is substantially worse.
Anyone know what can cause sudden onset of astigmatism in adulthood? It appeared a couple years ago and seems stable. Not sure over what period it appeared, probably in 3-12 months.
- f430 6y agoI always thought it was genetics or perhaps excessive screen time is my next guess but I've been told its not possible.
- benibela 6y agoScreen time leads to less blinking and drier eyes Perhaps that causes astigmatism? Perhaps the cornea needs blinking to stay stable?
- benibela 6y agoMe too. It is really bad. Myopia is no issue when I work at the computer, since I can move closer, but with astigmatism I cannot read at all without glasses. It has recently increased to 3.5 diopter cylinder according to the measurement device. At those values it is even difficult to buy glasses. >Anyone know what can cause sudden onset of astigmatism in adulthood? It appeared a couple years ago and seems stable.
