I have 20/20 vision, but still have astigmatism and I have to look at street signs for like five seconds before I can read them. Astigmatism is a quite common slight irregularity in the surface of the cornea. It basically just means that if light hits the slight irregularity, it bends it "funny" before it hits your retina in the back of your eye, causing a distortion. |
