Astigmatism (2/2): glasses, contact lenses, laser or implants, how do you correct it?
In the first part of this article, we saw what astigmatism really is: an eye whose optical power varies with direction, with two focal points instead of one. We also saw that it can be regular or irregular, and that it comes from the cornea, from the crystalline lens, or from both at once.
