Astigmatism is a common vision condition that affects the way light is focused on the retina. It is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, which causes blurred vision at all distances. It is usually corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. Astigmatism can also be corrected with special lenses that are designed to reduce the amount of light that is scattered in the eye. The astigmatism market is a growing segment of the optical industry. It is driven by the increasing prevalence of astigmatism, as well as advances in technology that allow for more precise correction of the condition.
