Astigmatism: It is a common vision condition where the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) or the lens inside the eye has an irregular shape. Instead of being perfectly round like a basketball, the cornea or lens is shaped more like a football. This irregular shape causes light entering the eye to focus unevenly on the retina, leading to blurred or distorted vision at both near and far distances. Astigmatism can occur on its own or in combination with nearsightedness or farsightedness. It can usually be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
