I'm 23 and have been wearing glasses since I was about 10 years old. I just had an eye test today and apparently I have astigmatism in my left eye! I have my eyes tested at least once every 2 years and this has never come up before. Although the optician also wrote on the form that I have a lazy left eye, which I definitely don't! So I'm wondering if he made a mistake with the astigmatism?
He prescribed some contact lenses but my vision was still not crisp, which makes me think he might have made some kind of mistake, but I don't know!
So can you develop astigmatism over time, or is it something you have since birth? I'm all confused!
