What is the cause of Astigmatism?
There are a few reasons why a child might develop Astigmatism. Some of these include: • Their parents have astigmatism and they ‘inherit’ it • They have an eye condition that is seen along with astigmatism • An eye operation may lead to astigmatism • An injury to the cornea may lead to astigmatism Most children have astigmatism by chance. They do not have a parent with it or any other condition of their eye that may be causing astigmatism.
