ABSTRACT
A cross-sectional study was performed on 1231 eyes of 645 astigmatic children aged 6 to 12 years. Eyes with irregular astigmatism were excluded. The magnitude of astigmatism most commonly seen was one diopter cylinder or less. In 90.9% of children, astigmatism was found to be bilateral. Myopic astigmatism was seen in 51.1% of the eyes overall, and astigmatism with-the-rule constituted 48.5% of all cases
