ABERRATION - ASTIGMATISM

Defect of vision due to the radius of curvature of the optics of the eye--especially the cornea--being unequal at different orientations around the visual axis. Lines or bars at different orintations are not all simultaneously in focus, and there can be distortions for some orientations.
