Astigmatism: So you child's main refractive error is astigmatism. This creates a distortion that makes things seem wider than they really are and somewhat blurry. An average person would find it difficult to read print with that Rx or to see the TV clearly, however, one could certainly function without the glasses for most tasks.

AXIS values on my prescription glasses 2 years ago were R:20 L:160. New glasses made recently have R:110 L:60. Is such a strong change possible, or could one of the two be incorrect? How is it possible that I can still see well with both glasses?
