Answer

People with mild astigmatism usually have normal vision, but they may experience headaches, eye fatigue, and blurred vision when looking at objects at a certain distance. Those with severe astigmatism have unclear vision and complete distortion. There is also accommodative fatigue: the retina requires continuous fine adjustments for blurred images, and vision becomes completely distorted. Therefore, astigmatism patients, especially those with downward astigmatism, are more prone to vision problems. Additionally, inflammation of the conjunctiva can also cause photophobia.
