A member asked:
Please tell me how does astigmatism/myopia affect vision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Visual blur: Myopia causes blurred images more significant the farther away the object is located for viewing. Astigmatism causes an elongated distorted due to the fact that it arises when the eye is a bit oval in shape. They can occur together. Most of these can be corrected with proper eyeglasses or contacts lenses.
