Astigmatism in infants may or may not return to normal.

Can baby astigmatism return to normal?

If astigmatism is caused by young age and incomplete vision, vision develops gradually over time and usually returns to normal. Secondly, if it is caused by scars in the corneal stroma after eye trauma, local refractive power of the cornea changes, which generally does not return to normal, vision can be corrected by wearing glasses. If astigmatism is caused by genetic factors, it belongs to genetic problems and usually cannot return to normal. It can be treated by femtosecond laser surgery, excimer laser surgery and other methods to correct vision.
