Astigmatism is a common refractive error caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, which prevents light from focusing properly on the retina. This can lead to blurred or distorted vision at both near and far distances.

Astigmatism can be treated effectively with several options depending on its severity. Common treatments include corrective lenses such as glasses or contact lenses, which help adjust the way light enters the eye for clearer vision. For more permanent correction, refractive surgery like LASIK or PRK can reshape the cornea. Your eye care professional can help determine the best treatment option for your individual needs.
