Astigmatism and method of birth.
Discussion
Let me get this straight first of all, I am NOT looking for blame etc. just that some thoughts have popped into my head.
My eldest needs to wear glasses, at her latest eye test we were told that she has an astigmatism. She's been previously reffered to the eye unit at the local hospital where, as I am typing an astigmatism hadn't been mentioned. Due to our regular optician closing her latest eye test was done by a different optician, it was him that mentioned the astigmatism.
Now my eldest was born via a ventouse extraction, I've just been wondering if this method of birth contributed to the astigmatism?
Like I said, I am not looking for blame, I am just curious!
