Astigmatism – along with nearsightedness (myopia) and farsightedness (hyperopia) – is an eye abnormality categorized as a “refractive error” because it impacts how the eyes “refract,” or bend, light that is projected onto the retina. Astigmatism frequently occurs along with other refractive errors such as nearsightedness or farsightedness.
