Astigmatism
  • Astigmatism results from a lens or cornea that has irregular curves.
  • This irregular shape causes only part of the light entering the eye to be focused.
  • This condition can cause headaches, eye strain, and fatigue.
  • Eyeglasses made with lenses shaped like cylinders* can correct this problem.
