Astigmatism, do I have it?


I've read about not being able to focus on vertical and horizontal lines at the same time. Are there any other tests? I ask because I dont think I have astigmatism. I can read just fine without my glasses. I can read the fine print on the back of a DVD box.

Why are you asking us if you have astigmatism?? Just go see an Optometrist, please!

go see a doc..

Only your eye dr can tell you. It is a mis-shapen eye.

If you don't know, how can we. Go see your optometrist, I'm sure if you had one already wearing glasses, he'd told you.
