You can tell whether you have astigmatism by looking at your eye prescription. The box 'Cyl' will show the power you need to correct astigmatism, if you have one.

A cornea which has astigmatism has two curves, a flat curve and a steep curve so light is focused at two points instead of more clearly at just one point.
