What is an Astigmatism Explained?
Astigmatism, impacts an additional 3 million more people per year, in the united states.
This refractive error, occurs when the cornea, or the lens, inside the eye, is curved differently in one direction.
This prevents light, from focusing properly on the retina, the light-sensitive surface at the back of the eye. Resulting in blurred vision.
A comprehensive optometric examination, usually includes testing for astigmatism.
If diagnosed, some treatments may include, prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, or Laser-assisted surgery.
