I have had astigmatism since childhood. My 6-year-old child often squints when watching TV or reading. Is astigmatism hereditary, and how is it treated? (Hoa Viet, TP HCM)
Nguyet, 24, nearsighted since she was 11, with her right eye at 5.5 diopters and her left eye at 6 diopters with mild astigmatism, now has 20/20 vision after undergoing refractive surgery.
People with astigmatism can benefit from foods rich in omega-3s, zinc, vitamins A and C, such as orange vegetables and fruits, salmon, and mackerel, to promote eye health.
My 10-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with 0.75 diopters of astigmatism. What is astigmatism, and is it a combination of nearsightedness and farsightedness? (Huyen Anh, Ha Noi)
