  1. ASTIGMATISM - SYMPTOMS, CAUSES, AND TREATMENT

  2. Astigmatism is a frequent and usually treatable imperfection in the curvature of the eye that causes blurred distance and near vision. Astigmatism is often present at birth and might occur in combination with nearsightedness or farsightedness.

  3. Signs and symptoms of astigmatism might include: Blurred or distorted vision Eyestrain or discomfort Headaches Difficulty with night vision Squinting Children might not realize their vision is blurry, so they need to be screened for eye disease and have their vision tested by a pediatrician, an ophthalmologist, an optometrist, or another trained screener.

  4. CAUSES A refractive error You have corneal astigmatism in case your cornea has mismatched curves. You have lenticular astigmatism in case your lens has mismatched curves. Either type of astigmatism could cause blurred vision. Other refractive errors Astigmatism might occur in combination with other refractive errors, which include: 1. 2. Nearsightedness (myopia) Farsightedness (hyperopia)

  5. TREATMENT Corrective lenses 1. Eyeglasses Contact lenses Refractive surgery 2. Laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) Laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) Epi-LASIK Small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE)
