We have measured comeal and total astigmatism on 161 eyes of 90 normal infants and young children aged 2 months to 5 years using the techniques of photorefraction and photokeratometry. Both the mean comeal and mean total astigmatism were found to decrease with increasing age. We found large ...
Astigmatism in children Very youngchildren who were born with astigmatismmay squint throughout the day, whether they are reading, watching TV or playing outside. But even if they don’t squint, and they say they can see clearly, headaches or achy eyes could be signs of astigmatism. Many chi...
While it is now established that astigmatism is more prevalent in infants and young children than in the adult population, little is known about the functional significance of this astigmatism, especially its role, if any, in emmetropization and the development of myopia. Manifest refractions (mea...
Astigmatism is a very common childhood vision problem. Research supported by theNational Institutes of Healthindicates that about 23% of very young children (from 6 months to 1 year old) have it, but many children grow out of it. By the time they reach school age (5 or 6 years old), ...
We have measured corneal and total astigmatism on 161 eyes of 90 normal infants and young children aged 2 months to 5 years using the techniques of photorefraction and photokeratometry. Both the mean corneal and mean total astigmatism were found to decrease with increasing age. We found large ...
Infants and childrenThe aim of this study is to examine and analyze the contribution of corneal and lenticular components of total astigmatism (TA) in infants and young children and to determine whether there is any compensation for astigmatism by the lenticular component or not. The study was ...

In most cases, very young children “outgrow” astigmatism; however, the likelihood of outgrowing astigmatism decreases after ages 5 to 6. After the age of 25, astigmatism will typically stay the same. It can also gradually worsen with age or due to other eye conditions. Fortunately, most ast...
Therefore, in young children with tilted disc, refractometry should be performed to detect and correct astigmatism to prevent amblyopia. 4.2 Keratoconus and other corneal dystrophies Astigmatism in TDS seems to be mainly regular (Bozkurt et al., 2002), and may be congenital as the tilted disc. ...
This cross-sectional study evaluates the association of maternal and paternal astigmatism with child astigmatism in the Hong Kong Children Eye Study.
