Astigmatism is a common eye condition that's usually corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Astigmatism is caused by an eye that is not completely round and occurs in nearly everybody to some degree.For vision problems due to astigmatism, glasses, contact lenses, and even vision correction procedures are all possible treatment options.A person's eye is naturally shaped like a sphere.Under normal circumstances, when light enters the eye, it refracts, or bends evenly, creating a clear view of the object. Refractive surgery. 2  Another method for correcting astigmatism is changing the shape of the cornea through refractive or laser eye surgery. 3  While there is more than one type of refractive surgery, specific treatments are recommended on an individual basis.
Astigmatism is a vision condition that causes blurred vision due either to a misshapen cornea or sometimes because of an irregular curvature of the lens inside the eye. Problems with either the cornea or the lens prevents light from focusing properly on the retina. When this happens, vision becomes blurred and/or distorted at any distance. Astigmatism is a common vision condition, and can occur jointly with myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). Most people have some degree of astigmatism. Slight amounts of astigmatism usually don't noticeably affect vision and don't require treatment.
