Disease description:

Recently, my son has been complaining that streetlights appear as long streaks of light. Today, I took him to the hospital for an examination, and the doctor diagnosed him with astigmatism. I would like to ask: Can astigmatism resolve on its own?

Hello, astigmatism does not resolve spontaneously and typically requires timely corrective treatment. For mild astigmatism without noticeable symptoms, correction may not be necessary. However, if visual acuity declines, wearing corrective eyeglasses is recommended. In cases of high astigmatism—such as that caused by congenital factors or corneal transplantation—contact lenses may be required for optimal correction. Additionally, maintain good ocular hygiene and avoid touching your eyes with unwashed hands. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
