astigmat
An astigmat is a person who has a common vision condition called astigmatism. This condition occurs when the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, is irregularly shaped, causing blurred or distorted vision. Astigmatism can affect both near and distant vision, making it difficult to see clearly.
People with astigmatism may experience symptoms such as headaches, eye strain, and difficulty seeing at night. It can be diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam, and treatment options include corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses, and in some cases, refractive surgery to reshape the cornea.
