In astigmatism, nonspherical curvature of the cornea or lens causes light rays to focus at different points. To correct astigmatism, a cylindric lens (a segment cut from a cylinder) is used. Cylindric lenses have no refractive power along one axis and are concave or convex along the other axis. Consult an Ophthalmologist.
Please see the web pages for more details on Astigmatism.

TRY DIFFERENT GLASSES THAT DON'T IRRITATE YOUR EARS. TRY POLYCARBONATE LENSES IN A TITANIUM FRAME.ASTIGMATISM IS CURVATURE OF THE CORNEA.
