A member asked:
Can an astigmatism become slightly worse without the presence of another etiology? am correctable to 20/20.

Yes: Astigmatism can slowly change over time - sometimes better and sometimes worse. This depends upon a number of factors but is it something you cannot control. The changes mostly, however, are small and nothing to worry about.
