How do i know that my astigmatism hereditary ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check around: Astigmatism can be inherited or it can arise spontaneously. Check with parents or siblings and see if they have astigmatism as well. That should give you an indication if your's has been inherited. The treatment is the same in either case.
