Is Astigmatism Causing Your Blurry Vision? (Ezine Ready)
Kent Leavitt, Text Version: 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. But did you know you may also have a common condition known as astigmatism? Astigmatism can also cause blurred vision, as well as headaches and eye discomfort. What is Astigmatism? 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. Astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness are known medically as refractive errors, because each of these conditions affects how the eyes "refract" or bend light. An astigmatic eye does not have the evenly spherical shape which gives clear vision. Instead it has an oval shape or an irregularity of shape caused by a scar on the cornea or some defect in the lens. An oval shape has two curvatures: A steeper curvature on its short side; and A flatter curvature on its long side A scar or other irregularity also has several curvatures. Each curvature bends incoming light differently, giving multiple images on the retina or in front of it. Blurry vision is the result. Astigmatism Testing Your comprehensive visual examination with a qualified ophthalmologist measures how the eyes focus light. This helps your eye doctor to determine the prescription that will help to correct your blurry vision.Pages: 1 2 3 [4] 5 6
