My eyes have worsened (only a little though) since I first started wearing glasses in May 2003.

At least you can see with your glasses. It is too bad you can't cure the disease. DO you think the disease astmigatism will be there throughout your life?

Probably.

And I misspoke earlier. They actually have a form of laser surgery now that can correct astigmatism.

Krishnan, astigmatism isn't a "disease."  Millions of people have that.  It's nothing significant at all.

A "condition" perhaps, but, no, not a disease.  :D

And no, Krishnan, I've never had it before.
