Astigmatism is caused by irregularities in the shape of your cornea. Usually, corneas are shaped like spheres. When a person has astigmatism, his cornea curves more like a football. This difference in shape may not seem to be a major issue, but it can dramatically affect your eyesight. It can actually cause the light rays that enter your eyes to focus on two points instead of one. The steeper curve of the astigmatic eye frequently results in blurred vision.

Astigmatism can occur in one or both eyes. In some individuals, the amount of astigmatism is small enough to occur without causing obvious vision issues. In others, however, eyesight can be significantly impaired. Symptoms of astigmatism can include blurred vision, distorted eyesight, and squinting. Eyestrain, headaches, double vision, and fatigue are common symptoms as well.
