Astigmatism
Astigmatism is often found in combination with shortsightedness and farsightedness and contributes to blurry vision. This occurs because the cornea is shaped like a rugby ball rather than a soccer ball. Depending on how light rays enter the cornea, they may be focussed to different points – see the diagram below.
