Description:

This animated video explains what is meant by astigmatism, which is a very common problem with the eyes. Astigmatism is an unevenness to the cornea. This makes some light rays focus before or after the retina. People with this problem may need corrective lenses or LASIK. Video courtesy of eMedTV.com
