IntroductionIntroduction
Studies show that about 15% of adult Studies show that about 15% of adult population have astigmatism > 1 D and only population have astigmatism > 1 D and only 2% have astigmatism >3 D while the 2% have astigmatism >3 D while the incidence of astigmatism in childhood is incidence of astigmatism in childhood is greater.greater.
