Astigmatism is an image distortion that results from an improperly shaped cornea. Usually the cornea is spherically shaped, like a baseball. However, in astigmatism the cornea is elliptically shaped, more like a football. This will cause the person to have blurry vision. What the blur looks like will depend upon the amount and the direction of the astigmatism. A person with nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia) may see a dot as a blurred circle. A person with astigmatism may see the same dot as a blurred oval or frankfurter-shaped blur.
Astigmatism is not a disease nor does it mean that you have "bad eyes.". It simply means that you have a variation or disturbance in the shape of your cornea. What are the symptoms
Distortion or blurring of images at all distances.
Headache and fatigue. Squinting and eye discomfort or irritation.
Parents can notice that a child may have astigmatism when the child can see some part of a pattern or picture more clearly than others. For example, lines going across may seem clearer than lines going up and down.
People with severe astigmatism will usually have blurred or distorted vision, while those with mild astigmatism may experience headaches, eye strain, fatigue or blurred vision at certain distances.
Astigmatism may increase slowly. Regular eye care can help to insure that proper vision is maintained.
