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.
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.
The eye. Astigmatism is when the cornea (the clear dome that covers the pupil) or the lens of your eye is not its usual perfectly round shape. Instead it's an oval shape, a bit like a rugby ball.
No, you can only be either short or long sighted. An astigmatism means you need a cylinder in your glasses to see properly. You can be either far sighted or near sighted and also have an astigmatism.
The aspherical distortion of light through the cornea is called an astigmatism. It is caused by having an uneven cornea.

Astigmatism is a medical condition. One in a million patients have it.
The main symptom of astigmatism is blurring
Astigmatism is a condition that may be present at birth
The astigmatism chart was designed to evaluate whether a person has astigmatism, which is a condition which results in blurry or distorted vision. When a person looks at an astigmatism chart, all lines should appear to be the same darkness, clarity, and distance apart. A person with astigmatism will notice differences in the lines.
However, in astigmatism the cornea is elliptically shaped, more like a football
no that is not true my mother has astigmatism and she has contact lens'.
No, an astigmatism can not correct itself. This is because an astigmatism is caused by the shape of the eyeball.
Astigmatism can be most simply treated with either eyeglasses or contact lenses.
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.
Ametropia means any type of refractive error, such as nearsightedness or astigmatism.
