An astigmatism means that the shape of the optics cause the focus to be a line rather than a point (the lenses are not spherical). Thus the image produced by these lenses is imperfect, causing a blurred image/vision.

∙ 13y agoAstigmatism causes blurred vision. If glasses are made to correct the astigmatism, then the vision would not be blurred. If the glasses are made to correct other vision problems, but not astigmatism, the vision would be blurred by the astigmatism.

Can astigmatism ever be caused by a bang to the head or being dropped as a baby?
It is possible that astigmatism can be cause by a bang to the head or being dropped as a baby. This is because the little body is still developing.
Can you get astigmatism later in life?
Astigmatism means that either the cornea or the lens of the eye is not shaped properly bending light as it enters and creating multiple focal points which are seen as blurriness. Astigmatism is something you're born with. Most people, many who don't wear glasses have some astigmatism, but not enough to notice or cause any problems. Astigmatism may get better or worse while our eyes are still developing usually between the ages of 8-22, but it won't develop suddenly. As we get older, our eyes start to degenerate and we need glasses for reading. A doctor prescribing glasses for reading will correct a very slight astigmatism as well; if you're wearing glasses anyway, you might as well have the best vision possible.
How does a diagnosis of astigmatism in left eye with continual eye strain with or without glasses relate to pressure on top of the head?
There are nerves that surround the eye area. Because of astigmatism in your left eye your right eye is making up for the loss of proper sight and this is a strain which effects the nerves and it can cause a pressure on the top of your head. It's wise to see a specialist (Ophthalmologist.) One can never be too careful with their eyesight.

Can a child have an astigmatism and be near sighted?
Yes; astigmatism is a condition caused by an irregularity in the shape of either the cornea or lens and tends to cause blurriness. Myopia (nearsightedness) is caused by an elongated eye or a cornea with a sharper than average curvature, and allows things that are near to be seen clearly while things at a distance are blurry and unclear. Astigmatism can occur with hyperopia(farsightedness) as well, or it can occur by itself.
Does astigmatism cause Anisocoria?
No. Anisocoria is a difference in pupil size and has nothing to do with astigmatism, which is a variation of the cornea or lens of the eye.
