What is astigmatism?
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is shaped like a rugby ball, as opposed to spherical like a basketball. This causes fuzzy, blurred vision and can make images appear stretched. Not to worry, it can be corrected with a toric contact lens.
What are the symptoms of astigmatism?
- Some degree of blurry or distorted vision at all distances
- Headaches
- Eye fatigue or discomfort
- Squinting
- Difficulty with night vision
