Through the Looking Glass: A Guide to Astigmatism
A combination of technology and centuries of medical research has meant that humans can now be treated for many injuries, conditions and general health issues that were once considered untreatable and the countless operations that have been mastered and medicines discovered, mean that people are now living longer than ever before.
Before the medical advances of the modern era, humans have long sought ways to combat physical impairments, whether they are congenital or the result of aging.
Visual impairment, too, has received the attention of medical scholars and inventors for centuries and today, two thirds of the UK adult population now wear glasses or contact lenses, a statistic that has been rising in correlation with increased life expectancy.
However, many eye conditions aren’t age-related and can exist just as easily in new-born babies as a fully-grown adult.
Astigmatism, for example, is an eye condition that causes blurred vision, the two most common types of which are corneal astigmatism (the cornea has an irregular shape) and lenticular astigmatism (the lens has an irregular shape).
Essentially, the irregular shape means that incoming light rays do not focus correctly on the retina. Whilst it’s unclear exactly what causes corneal astigmatism, some studies have suggested that the condition is often inherited and it has also been shown that babies born prematurely or with a low body weight are more likely to have corneal astigmatism.
Similarly, lenticular astigmatism can affect anyone, often with no apparent explanation. However, people with diabetes often develop this form of astigmatism due to high blood sugar levels which cause the lens to curve. When treatment for the diabetes begins and blood sugar levels return to normal, the lens shape will usually return to normal too.
The main symptoms of astigmatism include: blurred vision, photophobia (sensitivity to light), headaches, excessive squinting and eye strain. An optometrist can easily diagnose astigmatism using any number of methods, including a visual acuity test (reading different sized letters from a chart) and a keratometer, which measures the reflected light from the surface of the cornea.
In terms of treatment, many people opt for simple corrective lenses either in the form of glasses or contact lenses. Laser eye treatment, too, is an increasingly popular option among those with astigmatism. There are a number of different laser eye treatments, with the choice made depending entirely on the needs of the individual.
Medical and technological advances now mean that people no longer have to settle for glasses or contact lenses to counteract the effects of visual impairment. Laser eye surgery has made perfect 20/20 vision a possibility again for the countless astigmatism sufferers the world over.

What does the term "through the looking glass" mean?
What does the term "through the looking glass" mean?
Can you give me a couple examples of how it could be used in context?
A looking glass is another term meaning a mirror.
Lewis Carroll wrote Through the Looking-Glass as a sequel to Alice in Wonderland. Through the Looking Glass has Chess as a theme (as well as mirrors) in the same way that Alice in Wonderland had Chess as a theme; many things in it mirror the opposite from real life, such as clocks running backwards. As it is used in Lewis Carroll's book, Alice goes through the looking glass to find a world both clear and recognizable yet turned sideways. Thus, through the looking glass is extended as a metaphor into any time the world turns strange, or when things get turned around, as if one were Alice, inside of the mirror.
