Astigmatism - uneven cornea

The flower, as seen by a person with astigmatism. People with astigmatism see ghost images or double images without their glasses on. In this condition, the cornea is not spherical, but is shaped more like a football or teaspoon.

Presbyopia is age-related loss of reading vision. As people age they begin to lose the ability to focus on things up close unless they have their glasses on. There is no reliable surgical method to correct this problem. But sometimes we leave one eye slightly near-sighted after surgery. This is called "monovision" -- where one eye focuses at distance and one eye focuses up close. Surprisingly, many people love this because they don't have to wear reading glasses.
