Serious Conditions And Other Factors That Cause Blurry Vision

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is another common eye condition that causes blurry vision. It's caused by an imperfection in the eye's lens or cornea curvature. In an individual with 20/20 vision, the lens and cornea are smooth and curve equally across every direction. If there isn't a smooth, even curve, there's a problem with the refraction of light. Corneal astigmatism is caused by an irregularly-shaped cornea. Lenticular astigmatism is caused by a distorted lens shape. Unlike myopia or hyperopia, astigmatism causes both far and near objects to seem distorted and blurry. However, the condition can sometimes occur alongside myopia or hyperopia. If astigmatism isn't diagnosed and corrected, it can impact a child's ability to function in sports and school. Regular eye exams are important for developing children.
