Astigmatism
If the curvature of the front of the eye is uneven, light will refract unequally and may result in blurred vision.
Many people are unhindered by a little astigmatism although having more than 1 dioptre especially if it is combined with other refractive conditions such as myopia ( short sightedness) or long sightedness
( hyperopia) may require correction.
Astigmatism can be corrected by spectacles and sometimes by contact lenses. It can also be corrected with laser surgery.
