Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru on a sunny day, with gardens and a road in front — Astigmatism blurs vision at every distance and can create a faint double or ghost image. Slide right to see glasses or toric lenses sharpen the view. This is a simulation, not a diagnosis. Photo: Vidhana Soudha, Bengaluru, by Aaron Antony Paul via Unsplash.

Common questions

Is keratoconus curable?

It cannot be reversed, but cross-linking can stop it from getting worse, and lenses can restore good vision for most people.

Is astigmatism serious?

Usually not. It is a common focusing error that is easily corrected. Rapidly increasing astigmatism should be checked for keratoconus.
