Astigmatism is a vision condition caused by imperfection in the curvature of the eye that leads to distorted or blurred vision. It happens when the cornea or lens of the eye is not shaped normally, making it difficult for light to focus correctly on the retina. The cornea is a transparent curved layer of tissue that covers the front surface of the eye. It transfers light to the back of the eye and concentrates it there. In astigmatism, the cornea is often egg- or football-shaped and curves differently, causing the light to focus on two points on the retina instead of one. This results in decreased, blurry, and distorted vision. Astigmatism often occurs with near-sightedness or farsightedness, and can be managed through surgery or corrective lenses. Let’s discuss how astigmatism impacts night vision along with some useful advice and remedies to help you navigate dimly lit environments.

It develops when abnormal cells proliferate uncontrollably, resultant in lesions or tumors on the lips. Normally, tumors or lesions on the lips develop from squamous cells that are thin, flat cells that cover the lips and other parts of the mouth. These squamous cells, when grow out of control, form tumors or lesions on the lips. In a few cases, a more dangerous form of lip cancer, known as melanoma can develop in the lip’s melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) or on the inside of the mouth. Lip cancer is mostly due to sun exposure, meaning it's preventable! Also, prompt diagnosis and treatment is important.
