Vision 20/30 & 20/25, with astigmatism. is it recommended to wear glasses all the time or as needed? google shows with astigmatism all the time.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When helpful: Astigmatism causes a little visual distortion at distance unless the amount is very high. Glasses are worn to improve visual clarity. The only downside of not wearing them is that you might see things less clearly. There is no harm or help from the standpoint of eye health whether you wear them continuously or only when you need the clarity.
