Is Astigmatism Causing Your Blurry Vision? Author: Evan Langsted If you have been diagnosed with nearsightedness or farsightedness, you may experience some blurry vision, especially when you are not wearing your glasses or contact lenses.

Astigmatism occurs due to an irregular corneal shape or an irregular curvature of the lens inside the eye. Either of these conditions may prevent light from focusing correctly on the retina, and blurred vision at any distance may result, since both the cornea and lens are responsible for focusing the light which enters the eye.

An astigmatic eye does not have the evenly spherical shape which gives clear vision.
