I have slight astigmatism?


Can glasses correct it?
And also, I often have a weird depth perception problem. In light that isn't very bright I lose depth perception and can't tell if my hand is two inches in front of me or two yards in front of me. Could this be caused by the astigmatism?

Yes, glasses can correct it.

And for the depth perception thing, I have that too, except I have it all the time. Just make sure you have adaquate lighting everywhere you go. This may sound weird, but before I lost all my depth perception, I would bring like a book light to school, so I could see when the teachers turned off the light. I'm not sure if it's directly related to the astigmtism or not, though.

I hope this helps !

Yes glasses can correct your Astigmstism.

i have astigmatism also, as well as about 75% of people who wear glasses. but as for the depth perception thing, i don't have this problem, so i don't think it's caused by your astigmatism
