Yes, it is possible for astigmatism to get better. Astigmatism is a common vision condition in which the eye does not focus light evenly on the retina, resulting in distorted or blurred vision. It can be caused by an irregular shape of the cornea, or the clear covering of the front of the eye, or the curvature of the lens inside the eye.
Astigmatism can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. Eyeglasses or contact lenses can help to reduce the blurriness and distortion from astigmatism by reshaping the light that enters the eye. Refractive surgery, such as LASIK, can be used to permanently reshape the cornea, correcting the astigmatism.
In some cases, astigmatism can improve on its own over time. This is usually due to the development of the eye, as the cornea and lens continue to grow and change shape with age. For this reason, it is important to have regular eye exams to check for any changes in vision that may need to be corrected.
It is also possible for astigmatism to get worse, due to changes in the shape of the cornea or lens. In this case, corrective lenses or surgery may be needed to correct the vision.
Ultimately, whether astigmatism gets better or worse depends on the individual and the cause of their astigmatism. It is important to have regular eye exams to determine whether treatment is necessary.
