Astigmatism usually is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea. But in some cases, astigmatism is caused by the shape of the lens inside the eye. This type of astigmatism is called lenticular astigmatism, to differentiate it from the more common corneal astigmatism.
And yes, refractive surgery such as LASIK also can correct most types of this disease. Discuss with your eye doctor which procedure is best to correct your astigmatism.
