Stigmatism
Often incorrectly called "a stigmatism," it's actually one word -- astigmatism, meaning that the front surface of the eye (the cornea) is not exactly spherical.
"Stigmatism" is not correct. "Astigmatism" is correct.

Astigmatism is generally accompanied by either myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness). Astigmatism (not stigmatism) can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, and laser eye surgery.
