MYOPIC ASTIGMATISM

Astigmatism is a common and generally manageable imperfection in the curvature of eye that causes blurred vision(distant and near ). It occurs when either the anterior surface (cornea)or the lens has mismatched curves.

Astigmatism is often present at birth and may occur in combination with nearsightedness or farsightedness.
