well yesterday i got an eye exam. and well i've been using contact lenses for a year now but this time when i went to get my eye exam they told me that i had astigmatism and i have to use a different, a lil more expensive kind of contact lenses. so i just want to know what astigmatism is. thanx.

Your eyes can't see as sharply because the cornea (i think, not sure, i know it begins with a "c") is slightly misshaped. I have it in my left eye and so my glasses have two differently powered lenses. no big deal, I just sometimes get headaches when I try to see without my glasses.
