Astigmatism
Objects appear blurry at all distances, often accompanied by short sightedness or long sightedness.
What is Astigmatism?
Astigmatism is a common condition that affects many people – children as well as adults. If you have astigmatism you will have blurry or distorted vision at all distances, varying with the strength of the astigmatism. You may also be short or long sighted.
Astigmatism can interfere with daily activities that require seeing far away, like road signs, and close-up, like reading a magazine.
