Astigmatism appears as [[directional blur]] or [[double vision]]. [[Transient astigmatism]] also occurs when making spherical reductions.
Uncorrected and uncompensated astigmatism appears as ''directional blur'' or ''[[double vision]]''. [[Transient astigmatism]] also occurs when making spherical reductions. According to EM, the [[visual cortex]] compensates for irregularities in the cornea. If the [[double vision]] is just a little bit, the visual cortex can learn to fuse double vision and change the compensation.
