Astigmatism
My sister has a vision problem, she has astigmatism. Astigmatism is an optical defect, whereby the eye has an inability to focus at an object and thus producing a blurred image. We did not immediately recognize that she has an eye defect because we don’t know the symptoms of astigmatism. She just often told us that her eyes hurt and she always have headaches. My mother was worried so we brought her to an ophthalmologist and the doctor gave her reading glasses for vision correction. The doctor told her that she must wear them everyday for her to avoid headaches.
When she was in high school and college she really never mind of wearing glasses but when she was already working she was advised to just wear contact lenses. At first she was not use to them and has a hard time of putting them on. After a few weeks, she was comfortable of using them but she always got the hassle of replacing them and buying new ones every three months. She consulted her ophthalmologist to help her find a way to correct her vision and the doctor suggests a laser eye surgery. But I don’t think my sister would undergo into such because she is really quite afraid of needles.
