wearing eyeglasses

Vision can be corrected for the astigmatism with either glasses or contacts for most people. Some people can have their astigmatism treated with laser eye surgery such as Lasik.

Astigmatism is a form of refractive error where there is a difference in degree of refraction in different meridians...or in simple terms....the front portion of your eye which is the cornea receives visual information and focuses on different focal points causing it to blur. The cause of which is unknown though it is usually present at birth in association with myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). A minor degree of astigmatism is considered normal and does not require correction. The most common symptom of which is difficulty in seeing fine detail either close-up or from a distance. Other symtpoms would be eye strain and headache. Small degrees of astigmatism do not need corrective measures. Serious conditions require corrective lenses (cylindrical). Laser surgery is not recommended for astigmatism.
