What is Astigmatism? Common Symptoms and Treatments

Astigmatism is a condition that causes blurry vision due to irregularly shaped cornea. Only a perfect round shaped eye can focus the light correctly on the retina and thereby a clear vision. If an eye is irregularly shaped, then the light may distribute unevenly when it enters the eye and causes blurry vision. Astigmatism can be treated when it is appropriately treated at the right time. Please read the document shared to know more about astigmatism, its symptoms and treatments.
