A male patient was informed that he would need to wear a pair of corrective lenses for astigmatism. When asked about the condition, the patient demonstrates understanding when he states that:

1. “Astigmatism is hardening of the ciliary muscles.”

2. “Astigmatism is an irregular curvature of the cornea.”

3. “Astigmatism enables focusing of light in front of the retina.”

4. “Astigmatism is an increased opacity of the lens.”
