When Astigmatism Gets Complicated: What You Should Know
Is Astigmatism Ever Serious? When It Needs Extra Care
Most astigmatism cases are mild and manageable. But in rare situations, it may need special attention.
When to take it seriously:
- Sudden vision changes
- Vision distortion that glasses don’t correct
- Eye injuries or previous surgeries
- Progressing astigmatism in one eye only
These could be signs of a condition like keratoconus, where the cornea thins and bulges outward, or irregular astigmatism due to trauma or surgery.
That’s why regular checkups matter—even if your glasses “seem fine.”
At Enny Eye Care, we use advanced diagnostics to track eye health closely and offer referral pathways for more complex care when needed.
