  The degree of your astigmatism will divide whether you need a pair of eyewear to correct your eyesight or not. If you have a very slightly astigmatism, you can manage your life without eyeglasses. But if the astigmatism affect your eyesight that you can't see things clearly, you'd better wear your prescription eyeglasses for vision correction.
