Astigmatism Symptoms #4: Issues With Night Vision

Patients with astigmatism often have issues with their vision at night because the shape of their cornea causes refractive errors where the light rays meet at different points. The result is blurry vision. In a normal eye the cornea is spherical, enabling all the light rays to meet at a single point.

In astigmatism, blurry vision worsens in low light or dim conditions because the pupil dilates to allow more light to enter, causing even more blur.
