Astigmatism occurs when the eye’s cornea becomes abnormally shaped, causing blurry vision.

The American Optometric Association suggests these ways to manage the condition:

• Wearing eyeglasses.
• Wearing contact lenses.
• Undergoing orthokeratology, in which gas-permeable contact lenses are fitted to the eye, to reshape it over time.
• Reshaping the cornea surgically.
