Your child’s optometrist or ophthalmologist will be able to diagnose astigmatism with a thorough eye exam. Astigmatism often occurs with other refractive errors such as myopia and hyperopia, the optometrist will also check this.
Unfortunately, astigmatism often goes undetected in children so it is important to schedule frequent eye exams for your child. This is also important as astigmatisms often increase slowly.
Your optometrist will provide total eye care, including exams, diagnosis, and treatment.
