it can get better or worse. you should talk to your doctor about this, there is also a new method available called gentle molding. Its basically like a contact and you wear it at night while you sleep. You can notice a difference within a matter of one night. It is also for astigmatism. You might ask your optometrist to refer you to an opthamologist that can do this new method.
Youre welcome. Try not to stress out too much. Things will always get better. Good luck.
thank you for your answer aldunn i will talk to him and see if this method is available, i have been told that the increase of astigmatims may be caused by stress ans for me i stress a lot, any way i will se with my doctor and try to use the gentle molding if possible.
