🧠 Mind-Blowing Astigmatism Stat
Over 33% of the U.S. population — more than 100 million people — have some degree of astigmatism.
Even more surprising? Many don’t even realize they have it — it’s one of the most underdiagnosed vision issues because symptoms like headaches, eye strain, or blurry vision can seem unrelated.

Causes of Astigmatism
Astigmatism can occur when your eye has a steeper curvature than normal, which affects how light bends when it enters your eye and cause blurry vision at any distance. In many cases, an irregularly shaped cornea causes astigmatism. However, it can also be inherited or develop due to cataracts or eye injuries.Diagnosing Astigmatism
Astigmatism can often be diagnosed with an eye exam. Our eye doctor will typically check your visual acuity and do a refraction test. You might also have other tests done, such as keratometry to measure the shape of your cornea or a slit lamp test to check different parts of your eye. After confirming that you have astigmatism, we can discuss treatments with you.Treatment for Astigmatism
What treatments are available for astigmatism? For mild cases, prescription lenses might not be needed. However, if the condition interferes with your daily activities, you can wear prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses for improved vision. Our eye doctor might also recommend specialty contact lenses, depending on the severity of your condition. Along with that, we may suggest cataract surgery if you are experiencing vision problems due to cataracts.
