Astigmatism is a refractive error, but it doesn’t have anything to do with what some people in this thread are describing. It regards your eye’s two meridians. They bend the light differently to each other, which means you’ll essentially have two different “focuses” (English…) rather than the light being in unison.

You can be astigmatic without myopia/hyperopia or other refractive errors. You can also be myopic/hyperopic etc without astigmatism.
