astigmatizam
fiz. Mana preslikavanjem prolaskom zrakova kroz sočiva usled toga što lik površinskog elementa oko osne tačke leži uopšte na dvema krivim površinama, tj. što svakoj tački predmeta odgovaraju upravo dve tačke like; med. Mana oka koja počiva na različitoj zakriljvenosti rožnjače u raznim meridijanima i na neležanju simetrično oko iste ose rožnjače i kristalnog sočiva.

astigmatism
IPA: / əstɪɡmətɪzəm /ETYM Greek a priv. + stigma, a prick of a pointed instrument, a spot: cf. French astigmatisme.
1. (Ophthalmology) Impaired eyesight resulting usually from irregular conformation of the cornea; SYN. astigmia.
2. (Optics) Defect in an optical system in which light rays from a single point fail to converge in a single focal point; SYN. astigmia.
3. Defect in curvature of lens or of cornea of eye, causing unequal focusing.
4. Aberration occurring in the lens of the eye. It results when the curvature of the lens differs in two perpendicular planes, so that rays in one plane may be in focus while rays in the other are not. With astigmatic eyesight, the vertical and horizontal cannot be in focus at the same time; correction is by the use of a cylindrical lens that reduces the overall focal length of one plane so that both planes are seen in sharp focus.
