  Yes, your astigmatism will cause your light sensitivity because of the refraction. You need to do something to protect your eyes. You need to use the eyes drops to make your eyes get moisture. In addition, you could also use the warm compress to make your eyes feel comfortable. The right prescription of eyeglasses will make you get the right vision.

  Well, astigmatism can just lead to light sensitivity. And also, blurry vision can be possible. At this moment, I will suggest you wear contact lenses which are designed for astigmatism. In that way, it will do a better job to correct the astigmatism. So you can just have a try.
