According to The American Optometric Association, "Astigmatism is a vision condition that causes blurred vision due either to the irregular shape of the cornea (the clear front cover of the eye) or sometimes the curvature of the lens inside the eye.". Although astigmatism is not a serious complication, it can cause vision impairments and can be easily treated.
