what are the symptoms of astigmatism?

Q: I have a friend who was diagnosed of having astigmatism. He is having occasional headache attacks. His vision seem blurred when an attack is about to come. The headache is terrible, according to him, it feels like his blood is rushing up to his head. Are these symptoms of astigmatism? Or was he misdiagnosed?

A: Astigmatism is just a defect in your cornea that causes blurry vision. Instead of being perfectly domed, the cornea has a bump or dent in it. I have a slight astigmatism in one of my eyes and I can never see quite clearly out of it. It could be the vision problem that is causing his headaches. Wearing glasses will probably help him.

Q: I was reading on the internet that astigmatism is usually present when someone is born. I’m almost 26 and just found out that I have astigmatism, but I had pretty much perfect vision until it started getting blurry a few months ago. If I’ve had it since I was born, why didn’t I experience symptoms until now? I’m just wondering if anyone else who has astigmatism didn’t have any problems with it until they were in their 20s or older.

A: I realized I had vision problems in my 20’s as well. I did not know that i had astigmatism until I got tested for contact lens…late 20’s. The first time I got glasses, the doctor told me that I needed glasses a long time ago but My eyes had made an adjustment or something like that.
