Astigmatism is a common refractive error that affects how your eye focuses light. Unlike normal vision, where the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) is evenly curved, in astigmatism, the cornea or lens has an irregular shape. This irregularity causes light to bend unevenly, leading to blurred or distorted vision at any distance—whether near or far.
Astigmatism can occur on its own or alongside other vision conditions like myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness). Most people have some degree of astigmatism, but significant cases may need correction.
These symptoms can often go unnoticed because mild astigmatism doesn’t always cause significant issues, but even slight irregularities in the cornea can affect vision clarity.
