What are the symptoms of having astigmatism?

Visual blur: Astigmatism is found in an eye with some degree of ovalness. Most are intrinsic (not due to some external cause) and it is very common (over 60% of eyes have some degree of astigmatism). Correction is a reverse oval of the proper power in eyeglasses or contact lenses. Lasik can also correct this. There are no eyedrops, lifestyle changes or dietary changes to correct this.

Blurred vision: Astigmatism occurs when the lens is not smooth, resulting in a blurred vision in that eye. This vision problem can be corrected with glasses or by LASIK surgery.
