Astigmatism is a common eye condition that causes blurred vision. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens. People with astigmatism may experience blurred vision at all distances, and may also experience headaches, eye strain, and fatigue.

Signs and Symptoms of Astigmatism

People with astigmatism may experience blurry vision and difficulty focusing on close or far objects. They may also experience eye strain, headaches, and fatigue. Other common signs and symptoms of astigmatism include:

• Distorted or blurred vision at all distances

• Squinting in order to see clearly

• Headaches, eye strain, and fatigue

• Difficulty driving at night due to glare or halos

• Sensitivity to bright light

Causes of Astigmatism

Astigmatism is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens. This can be caused by genetics, or it can be acquired. In some cases, astigmatism is caused by an eye injury or eye surgery.

Diagnosis of Astigmatism

Astigmatism is typically diagnosed during a comprehensive eye exam. During the exam, your eye doctor will check your vision and will use a special device called a keratometer to measure the curvature of your cornea.

Treatment of Astigmatism

Astigmatism can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. In some cases, eyeglasses or contact lenses may be the best option for correcting astigmatism. In other cases, refractive surgery may be the best option. Your eye doctor will be able to recommend the best option for you based on your individual needs and lifestyle.

An astigmatism is a common vision problem caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens. People with astigmatism typically have blurred vision, difficulty seeing clearly at a distance or up close, and eyestrain or headaches due to squinting.

The appearance of an astigmatism can vary, but generally speaking, the eye has a distorted shape that causes light to be focused at more than one point on the retina. This can cause blurred or distorted vision. The appearance of an astigmatic eye can be seen in a number of ways. At a distance, the eye may appear slightly oblong or oval shaped and may look slightly off-center. Close up, the cornea may appear to have an irregular or wavy surface, and the pupil may be oval or slanted.

The severity of astigmatism can range from mild to severe, depending on the degree of corneal or lens distortion. In severe cases, an eye doctor may be able to see the distorted shape of the eye with a simple visual inspection. In milder cases, a dilated eye exam and other tests may be necessary to diagnose astigmatism.

Treatment for astigmatism typically involves wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses that correct the distorted shape of the eye. In some cases, surgery may be an option. With the right treatment, people with astigmatism can enjoy clear, comfortable vision.
