Reverse astigmatism is a term that is common to ophthalmology and refers to a slight difference in refractive power between the cornea and the lens. This condition can be found in any healthy person and does not pose a threat to vision. However, some patients consult a doctor to identify the causes of refractive error. Many experts believe that inverse astigmatization is an accidental feature of the optics of the eye and can be lived with without any problems. However, there are exceptions. In some cases, a person suffers from permanent distortion of the shape of objects if his astigmatic refraction has not been adjusted. In addition, reverse astigmatizing vision negatively affects the quality of life of a blind patient. The challenges associated with this condition include many years of training. Parents find out how poorly their child sees and send him to a school for the visually impaired. There is a high risk that the child will drop out of school and let his parents down. In addition, certain sports may be prohibited, because a regular track is replaced by a sidewalk or a specialized sports ground, which entails economic losses. If you can engage in any sport with the astigmatic eye, the other eye, on the contrary, should remain motionless.
