What Is Astigmatism? Astigmatism usually occurs when the front surface of your eye, the cornea, has an irregular curvature. Astigmatism is one of a group of eye conditions known as refractive errors and these errors cause a disturbance in the way that light rays are focused within your eye. Astigmatism often occurs with nearsightedness and farsightedness, conditions also resulting from refractive errors. Astigmatism is not a disease nor does it mean that you have bad eyes. It simply means that you have a variation or disturbance in the shape of your cornea. Today there are numerous types of contact lenses that correct for astigmatism. One of the specialties is fitting complex prescriptions including astigmatism. If you have astigmatism and have an interest in contact lenses please call our office for an appointment 678.606.9060
