    Is it normal to have astigmatism in only one eye and then after a couple of years have it in the other eye as well? Is it an indication of worsening eyesight or a normal occurrence?

    Dr. Sally Aldayeh's response:

    Hi Amalia,

    Yes it is normal to have astigmatism initially in one eye and then in both eyes. As long as your optometrist confirmed this is not due to eye disease, this change in your astigmatism is a normal occurrence. Thank you
