What is Astigmatism?
Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregular shape of the cornea or lens inside the eye. It results in blurred or distorted vision at all distances, near and far. In a normal eye, the cornea and lens are spherical, allowing light to focus clearly on the retina. However, in an eye with astigmatism, the cornea or lens is shaped more like a football, with one meridian (or axis) being more curved than the others. This irregular curvature prevents light from focusing correctly on the retina. Symptoms of astigmatism may include: 1. Blurry or distorted vision 2. Eye...

This creates a mark, called a retinal ischemic perivascular lesion. These marks can be spotted when eye doctors run optical coherence tomography, or OCT is order to take a closer look at the retina.
