If it’s not corrected , it can cause problems with clarity in vision . You want to see clear at all times . And astigmatism can change also .
Thank you for your inquiry. Generally, astigmatism is not a serious condition to your overall health. It refers to a particular aspect of your prescription. If it is not corrected then it is likely that you would continue to have reduced vision.
