There are many types of astigmatism like Lenticular, Myopic, Hyperopic & Mixed etc. Astigmatism can be corrected with proper diagnosis, management and treatment. Even though eyeglasses or contact lenses are generally used to correct, it is not always necessary for very young children. In many cases a slight degree of astigmatism tends to improve as the child grows-up. This is the case generally when it's not with any other eye condition like myopia or hyperopia. It's not amblyopia... Severe astigmatism is considered a risk factor for amblyopia.You got to consult a good Paediatric Eye Specialist and only after proper testing he can suggest you a line of treatment.(There's even LASIK treatment for this but it's not done on kids as their eyes are in the process of continued development.)</blockquote>
