Astigmatism causes difficulties in seeing fine detail. Astigmatism can be often corrected by glasses with a lens that has different radii of curvature in different planes (a cylindrical lens), contact lenses, or refractive surgery. Astigmatism is quite common. Studies have shown that about one in three people suffers from it.
There are two ways that contact lenses can correct astigmatism. One way is with toric soft lenses that work essentially the same way as eyeglasses with cylindrical correction; a toric lens has a different focusing power horizontally than vertically, and as a result can correct for astigmatism.

Once only available in a rigid, gas-permeable form, toric lenses are now also available as soft lenses. In older people, astigmatism can also be corrected during cataract surgery.
