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.
