Q.	Which one of the following lenses should be used to correct the defect of astigmatism?
A.	Cylindrical lens
B.	Concave lens
C.	Convex lens
D.	Bifocal lens
Answer» A. Cylindrical lens
Explanation: Astigmatism is an optical defect in which vision is blurred due to the inability of the optics of the eye to focus a point object into a sharp focused image on the retina. This may be due to an irregular or toric curvature of the cornea or lens. The two types of astigmatism are regular and irregular. Irregular astigmatism is often caused by a corneal scar or scattering in the crystalline lens, and cannot be corrected by standard spectacle lenses, but can be corrected by contact lenses.
