Astigmatism
  • Astigmatism means that a corneal or lens surface is oval like a rugby ball instead of spherical like a basketball.
  • This causes light to focus on more than one point in the eye, resulting in blurred vision at distance or near.
  • Astigmatism often occurs along with nearsightedness or farsightedness.

Signs and Symptoms
  • Blurred vision (near and distance).
  • Eye strain (headaches).
  • Poorer vision in dull lighting.
