| astigmatism |
(uh-STIG-muh-tiz-um). Refractive error. Optical defect in which refractive power is not uniform in all directions (meridians). Light rays entering the eye are bent unequally by different meridians, which prevents formation of a sharp image focus on the retina. Slight uncorrected astigmatism may not cause symptoms, but a large amount may result in significant blurring and headache.

| astigmatism |
A condition when the Cornea, (sometimes the lens) curves differently in different directions (a slice through a football). This causes objects (light) to bend differently to focus on the retina. The image is thus blurred, ghosted, or blurred unless corrected by contact lenses or spectacles.
