A member asked:
What can cause myopia and astigmatism after age 20?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unusual: Myopia and astigmatism can progress through the mid 20s in some cases - not usually to much of a degree. You might have had a good tolerance of blur prior to age 20 and only now are concerned about the blur. These are usually intrinsic - there is no "cause".
