Astigmatism is a common problem that affects the eyes. It means that the eye is slightly out of shape. Instead of being a round shape as most eyes are, it is actually more of an oval shape. There is not usually just one misalignment in most cases of astigmatism but two because there are generally two curves in the cornea, a steeper curve and a shallower curve.
