Overview and Facts about Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a common ocular condition characterized by an irregularly shaped or football-shaped cornea or curved eye lens.

Your cornea covers your iris and pupil and works with your eye lens to refract light that enters your eye. When light enters your cornea, your cornea helps focus the light precisely on your retina, toward the back of your eye. Most people have subtle forms of astigmatism. It is a hereditary condition that can affect both adults and children.
