Astigmatism can be corrected with toric lenses. Toric lenses have different powers in different meridians to correct the varying degrees of astigmatism present in the eye. These lenses are designed to address the irregular curvature of the cornea typical in astigmatism.
Astigmatism is generally caused by irregularities in the shape of the cornea or lens of the eye, not by head trauma or being dropped as a baby. However, certain eye injuries or trauma may contribute to changes in the shape of the cornea or lens, which could potentially lead to astigmatism. It is important to consult with an eye care professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
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.
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.
An aneurysm can occur in different parts of the body, but it is most commonly found in the brain (cerebral aneurysm) or the aorta (abdominal aortic aneurysm). Aneurysms in other parts of the body, such as the heart or peripheral arteries, are less common but can also occur.

No. They occur in the bladder, which is in the front part of your body.
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.
Astigmatism is a medical condition. One in a million patients have it.
Another name for extra body parts is supernumerary. They occur when there is a mutation within the human body's creation process. This causes an extra body part to happen.
Hemorrhoids occur on two different places on the human body: Internal hemorrhoids are located in the upper part of the rectum. External hemorrhoids are located in the lower part of the rectum.
Contact dermatitis can occur on any part of the body, but it usually affects the hands, feet, and groin.
Anoxia results when oxygen is not being delivered to a part of the body.
Contact dermatitis can occur on any part of the body, but it usually affects the hands, feet, and groin.
