Astigmatism is usually an abnormal shape of the cornea. It is very common and usually not serious. It can usually be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Astigmatism is a concept referring to the curvature of the center of the cornea, the window of the eye. Instead of being spherical, it is egg shaped, or elliptical. This is an exaggeration but it gives meaning to the definition. It is not serious, not a disease, affects millions of people and can be corrected if it causes blurred vision by glasses or contact lens'.
This is the curvature of the cornea she was born with. She needs correction so that the rays of light focus at the part in the macula.
Astigmatism is when your eye surface is distorted and vision also gets distorted. Glasses or contacts or Lasik can correct the problem.
