EGG-SHAPED OR OVAL EYES

Sight nearby and far are both less good

SOME EYES ARE NOT COMPLETELY ROUND: "RUGBY BALLS"
OVAL EYES DISTURB THE IMAGE FORMATION

ASTIGMATISM

WHAT
To get a perfect image on the retina the front of the eye needs to be spherical. If the eye is more oval (egg-shaped) that distorts the image (the images are stretched) and it's called astigmatism.

IMPLICATIONS
This indicates poor vision and sometimes headaches! Usually this is congenital hereditary basis and does not change during life.

TREATMENT
The deviation is compensated with oval glasses ("cylinder glasses") witch get assembled in the opposite direction of the eye disorder (that's why the axis of a cylinder is so important). Cylinder glasses are sometimes difficult to get used to and sometimes it takes several days or a week. Astigmatism can disturb the "maturing" of sight, wherefore a lazy eye can occur. Astigmatism should therefore be corrected early (preferably before the age of six). Toric soft lenses (lenses = cylinder) are possible. If relevant, hard lenses!
