Is astigmatism a combination of poor vision and myopia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Astigmatism is a separate issue in which the cornea is somewhat oval and the correction is a reverse oval in the glasses or contacts. You ophthalmologist can show you the two issues on your latest refractive prescription.
