Astigmatism

Astigmatism occurs when your cornea or lens has an abnormal shape. The abnormal shape can cause visual distortions and difficulties. The only way to determine if you have astigmatism and find a solution is through an eye exam.

Common Astigmatism Symptoms & Causes

To date, doctors still do not know what causes astigmatism other than an abnormally shaped cornea. Some people may be born with it, while others develop it as children or as they become adults. Regardless of when it occurs, these are some common symptoms patients report.
