Astigmatism (Irregular Curvature)

Posted on November 9, 2015 | Russ Reisner | Eye Conditions

Astigmatism is an irregular curvature of the front surface of the eye that results in blurred vision at all distances. It is a common refractive error, just like nearsightedness and farsightedness. Common complaints due to astigmatism include night vision issues and eye fatigue with computer use. Eyeglasses, contact lenses and refractive surgery are all effective treatments for astigmatism.
