What Is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism occurs when the lens or cornea is irregularly shaped. In a normal eye, the components are a round shape, while those with astigmatism have more of an oval or egg shape. Due to this, when light enters the eye, it doesn’t focus on the retina and the brain doesn’t receive a clear image, so objects may appear blurry.

Symptoms of Astigmatism

Astigmatism can cause similar symptoms as other refractive errors, such as eye strain, headaches, and blurry vision. However, causes blurry vision at all distances, unlike nearsightedness and farsightedness. When you visit us, we can properly diagnose astigmatism and provide the necessary treatment that will offer clear vision.

Treatment for Astigmatism

When you visit us, we will perform an eye exam to confirm if you have astigmatism. Afterward, we can discuss treatments with you. Our optometrist may recommend eyeglasses or contact lenses to help you see more clearly. Along with that, LASIK surgery and other refractive procedures can be performed, which can offer more of a permanent solution. If you need surgery, we can provide a referral and assist with post-operative care.
