What is Astigmatism and Its Causes
- Astigmatism is a refractive anomaly in which the cornea or the lens has a non-spherical shape. This leads to the image on the retina being blurred and distorted.
- Children with astigmatism often complain of headaches, eye fatigue, and eye strain. The cause of the condition is a disruption in the configuration of the eye’s optical system, caused by uneven curvature of the cornea or an abnormal shape of the lens.
- In most cases, astigmatism is congenital and develops due to uneven pressure on the eye’s outer layers from the eyelids, eye muscles, and the bones of the eye socket.
- If your child shows the described symptoms, be sure to consult an ophthalmologist for timely diagnosis and correction.
