When light enters the eye, it must bend properly so that it creates a sharp image. The layer on the surface of the eye called the cornea is the layer that bends light when it penetrates the eye. The cornea should be completely round, however; the cornea will often become a different shape. Astigmatism is a condition in which the cornea is oval. The result is a smeared condition where lines in one direction will be sharp while lines in another direction will be blurry.
