Does astigmatism "get worse" when you have a cold?
(34, F, mild astigmatism mostly in left eye.)
I know my eyes aren't physically changing when I have a cold. I'm just wondering if having a cold can make the visual effects of astigmatism more noticeable. Could sinus irritation be putting pressure on my eyes and making the effects of astigmatism look worse?
