Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common refractive error where the cornea or lens has an uneven curvature, causing light rays to focus at multiple points on the retina instead of one.
This leads to blurry or distorted vision at all distances.
At CureU Healthcare, our specialists diagnose and correct astigmatism using personalized approaches — from glasses and contact lenses to advanced laser and lens-based surgeries — restoring clear, balanced vision.
Overview And Clinical Background
Understanding Astigmatism
Astigmatism occurs when the front surface of the eye (the cornea) or the internal lens is shaped more like a football than a perfect sphere.
This irregular curvature prevents light from focusing evenly, causing blurred or distorted vision.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Astigmatism can affect both near and distant vision.
Patients often report strain, headaches, or difficulty focusing, especially after long visual tasks.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Imaging And Laboratory Tests
Diagnosis involves a combination of refraction tests and corneal mapping to measure the curvature of the eye.
Advanced imaging helps tailor the best correction option.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Treatment focuses on correcting the irregular focus of light.
The choice depends on the degree of astigmatism and patient lifestyle.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Most patients achieve excellent vision correction after treatment.
Risks are minimal and depend on the chosen procedure.
With proper follow-up and eye care, vision remains stable long term.
