Astigmatism is a condition that causes blurry, fuzzy or distorted vision at any distance. It is caused by imperfections in the curvature of the cornea or the lens (or both).
Astigmatism is caused by a misshapen cornea or lens, which makes it difficult for the eye to focus light. This can cause squinting to focus or reduce glare perceived from light sources.
