    The severity of astigmatism can be classified as follows:

    Mild Astigmatism < 1.00 diopters
    Moderate Astigmatism 1.00 to 2.00 diopters
    Severe Astigmatism 2.00 to 3.00 diopters
    Extreme Astigmatism > 3.00 diopters

    Astigmatic people may suffer from headaches, tired eyes and sensitivity
    to bright lights. Sometimes, like near-sighted people, they may squint
    in order to improve their vision.

    And sometimes it can't be corrected completely.
