A member asked:
The doctor said my astigmatsm is getting worse but my farsightedness is getting better. what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eyes change: Your glasses prescription will change over time. This is normal. Astigmatism means the front surface of your eye is not perfectly spherical - more like the side of an egg. Farsighted means that your best vision without glasses is in the distance.
