Modern Technology Allows Correction of Cataract and Astigmatism
... What is astigmatism? Astigmatism usually refers to an irregularly shaped cornea (the clear window in front of the eye). This is caused by the cornea being more curved in one direction than the other, much like a football. This causes light to focus at several different points on the back of the eye, ...

Corrective lens
A corrective lens is a lens worn in front of the eye, mainly used to treat myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Glasses or ""spectacles"" are worn on the face a short distance in front of the eye. Contact lenses are worn directly on the surface of the eye. Intraocular lenses are surgically implanted most commonly after cataract removal, but recently for purely refractive purposes. Myopia (near-sightedness) requires a divergent lens, whereas hyperopia (far-sightedness) requires convergent lens.
