A member asked:
If someone owns glasses does that mean they have astigmatism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Although some astigmatism is common, a person can still benefit from glasses even if they don't have astigmatism. They could be nearsighted or farsighted with or without astigmatism. Hope that helps.
