|  Astigmatism
Hi I was diagnosed to have an astigmatism today. I never had any problems with my eyes before and I have perfect vision with no color blindness. Would this affect my career as an airline pilot? |

No it will not. It is correctable with refraction (glasses).

It just means my left contact (toric) is more annoying than my right.

Astogmatism is correctable with LASIK I believe.
