Astigmatism is a common refractive condition that affects how your eyes focus light. It can make vision blurry, distorted, or stretched — whether you’re looking at things up close or far away. Many people don’t even realize they have it until it starts interfering with daily activities like driving, reading, or using a computer.
What Causes Astigmatism?
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens of the eye has an irregular shape — more like a football than a basketball. This prevents light from focusing evenly on the retina, resulting in:
- Blurry or fuzzy vision at all distances
- Eye strain or fatigue
- Headaches after reading or screen use
- Trouble seeing clearly at night
- Squinting to improve focus
Astigmatism often occurs alongside nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia) and can develop at any age.
