Abstract:Astigmatism designates either an optical aberration or an ametropia. Although the astigmatic aberration is a fundamental part of the astigmatic ametropia, these two entities are conceptually different. The former is independent of the eye, and the latter closely relates to it. This article explores the differences between the aberration and ametropia, by exploiting the particularities of each concept.
