Astigmatism symptoms and treatment

When I was 14 years old, an optometrist diagnosed me with astigmatism during a routine eye checkup. That being the first time I had even heard of the condition, I panicked and blurted, “Am I going to be blind?!” I’m now 22, with an astigmatism level of -2.25 – which is considered high and something I’ve realised many Singaporeans also live with everyday.
