Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, i have been on the pill for about 2 years and a half... and i recently was diagnosed with astigmatism can the pill be the cause of it? i had perfect vision before i started taking the pill also, can my astigmatism get better if i get out of the pill?
Hi, Astigmatism is totally unrelated to the pill. it is just a mere coincidence that you diagnosed the astigmatism now. So stopping the pill will not correct your astigmatism or the pill does not worsen astigmatism. And here I hope you mean oral contraceptive pill as Pill.
