What condition of the eyes is caused by the cornea not being spherical which causes an irregular focusing of light rays entering the eye?

Astigmatism is an inability of the eye to clearly focus images from any distance. This can occur because the shape of the cornea is not perfectly spherical.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness) is a focusing problem usually resulting from an eye that is too small, or a cornea that is too flat.
Myopia (Nearsightedness) occurs when the eye is too long in relation to it's focusing parts, or the cornea is to steep.

Once you have astigmatism at the age of 5 will you always need glasses?
Astigmatism is an irregular shape of the front of the eye. Although focusing can improve there will always be some parts of the field of vision that will be blurred without corrective lenses.
Used for precise focusing once initial focusing has been done?
fine adjustment knob
What is used for final focusing?
The part of the microscope that is used for final focusing is known as fine adjustment. This is also referred to as fine focus in some cases.
The twinkling of starlight and the focusing of images by lenses are due?

Does the pupil dilate when focusing for near vision?
no it actually constricts. :)
What does sphere 75 cylinder -3.00 axis 164 mean?
This prescription indicates a spherical power of -0.75, a cylindrical power of -3.00, and an axis of 164 degrees. It is a prescription for correcting astigmatism, a condition where the eye has difficulty focusing clearly due to an irregularly shaped cornea. The spherical power corrects for nearsightedness or farsightedness, while the cylindrical power and axis correct for the astigmatism.

What is near sided vision?
Near-Sighted A nearsighted eye sees near objects within a certain range very clearly while distance vision appears blurry at all times. An estimated 70 million people in the U.S suffer from this condition. Most often caused when the eyeball is too long for the focusing power of the lens and cornea, nearsightedness creates an overpowered eye which causes images to reach true focus in front of the retina. Correction requires a "minus" lens to "weaken" the eye optically to permit clear distance vision.Here's how a spherical contact lens corrects nearsightedness. The shape of a nearsighted eye focuses images in front of the retina, producing a blurred distance vision. By reducing the cornea's focusing power, a spherical contact lens creates a single focal point on the retina where vision is sharpest. Being nearsided is not fun get your eyes tested
