A student who has astigmatism, characterized by an irregularly shaped cornea, is most likely to experience?

A student with astigmatism is likely to experience blurred vision at all distances due to the irregular shape of the cornea. In astigmatism, the cornea or lens is not perfectly spherical, which prevents light from being focused evenly on the retina. This results in multiple focal points or a smear of light rays, leading to overall blurred or distorted vision regardless of whether objects are near or far.

The other options do not capture the typical experiences associated with astigmatism. Clear vision at all distances would not be expected because the condition itself induces distortion. Severe night blindness is more commonly related to retinal issues or other conditions, not just astigmatism. Difficulty reading small print could occur, but it would not be limited just to small print; rather, general blurriness at all distances is a more accurate representation of what someone with astigmatism would experience.
