Astigmatism: Not enough details. Typical astigmatism can be corrected with glasses and contact lenses, but some medical eye conditions create astigmatism that requires a procedure and sometimes laser surgery. Take care.

Glasses do not cure: Corrective glasses do not cure the Astigmatisum only correct it while you are using the glasses.To have good vision you need to use glasses all the time and it can get worse and your glasses have to be upgraded periodically usually Laser surgery corrects the astigmatisum by correcting the defect in your cornea which is causng your Astigmatism
