What is astigmatism?
The cornea has two axes, one shorter and more curved than the other, which leads to the formation of two focal points for the image. As a result, an eye with astigmatism sees blurry both at distance and up close, since at all distances the image is split into two different focal points.
Astigmatism treatment
Astigmatism treatment aims to regularize the curvature of the cornea to create a single focal point. This restores clear vision at all distances.
