other problems starts to come

I don’t think to wear contacts the vision should get bad, when you know its Astigmatism then its better to wear glasses or contacts before it gets worse. Astigmatism can be corrected thru the use of corrective lenses, involving either glasses or contact lenses. Astigmatism can also be corrected with refractive eye surgery.
Corrective lenses are a conservative method of dealing with astigmatism. Glasses and contact lenses are able to counter the effects of the irregularly shaped cornea and provide vision considerable improvement.
Ortho-K is an alternative method that uses special contact lenses that actually reshape the cornea. These special lenses are worn only at night and they gradually reshape the cornea by applying pressure in the right way.
The other option for Astigmatism is LASIK eye surgery the most commonly selected procedure for refractive eye surgery. During the LASIK procedure, a small incision creates a corneal flap and an excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea. The excimer laser is different from other lasers in that it doesn’t produce heat. Once the procedure has been completed, the corneal flap is repositioned normally and the healing process begins. Most people can notice quite an improvement in vision immediately upon completion of the procedure.
LASIK surgery is quick and painless, usually being performed on an out-patient basis. In most cases, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in vision and the procedure is virtually painless, taking only a few minutes to complete.
you dont have to have any certain ” bad ” astigmatisim to get contacts, in fact you dont have to have it at all to get them. If you cant see, you just may need a slight correction.. go see the eye doc
