This condition occurs when either the front surface of your eye or the lens, inside your eye, has mismatched curves. Instead of having one curve like a round ball, the surface is shaped like egg. This can cause a blurred vision at all distances. This condition is often present at birth and it can occur with farsightedness or nearsightedness. The two main types of astigmatism are lenticular and corneal astigmatism. A lenticular astigmatism is happening when your lens is misshapen and the corneal astigmatism is happening when your cornea is misshapen. It is not known the real cause for this condition but it is known fact that genetics play a big role in it.
