Whether astigmatism can be cured depends on the cause. If it is caused by congenital factors, it is generally incurable. However, if it is caused by acquired factors, such as trauma or long-term improper use of eyes, it is usually curable.

Incurable Cases

If the patient's eyeball development is incomplete at birth, it may result in uneven corneal curvature, thus inducing astigmatism. This condition is irreversible and may gradually worsen as the patient ages, making it incurable.

Curable Cases

1. Trauma: If the patient's eyeball is hit or struck by external force, it can cause changes in the lens, altering the internal structure of the eyeball and leading to astigmatism. In such cases, medications such as sodium hyaluronate eye drops or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose eye drops can be prescribed by a doctor to alleviate symptoms and potentially cure the condition.

2. Long-term improper use of eyes: Prolonged use of electronic devices or frequent late-night activities can cause eye fatigue and even damage to the ciliary muscle, affecting normal vision and leading to astigmatism. It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid overexertion, perform eye exercises regularly, and apply heat therapy to promote blood circulation, which can help with recovery. Additionally, corrective treatments such as wearing glasses or corneal contact lenses can be considered. If any significant discomfort occurs during this period, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly to avoid further complications.
