If you need treatment or contact lenses, read on below to see how we can help you get the answers you need.
What Is Astigmatism?
It is a type of vision disorder caused by the cornea or lens of the eye being misshapen. Instead of these parts of the eye being perfectly round, people with this condition might have a cornea or lens that is shaped more like a football, or oblong. In this case, it becomes difficult to properly process light and images into the retina of the eye.
This leads to the symptoms such as inability to focus clearly, blurry vision, eye strain, and headaches. All of these conditions can be difficult to live with, so it’s important to get help as soon as possible.
How Does an Optometrist Help?
This condition can be treated relatively easily with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Contact lenses can fit directly over the eye, improving the shape of the cornea and lens and helping light to be processed more clearly.
For people with this eye problem, the right pair of glasses or contact lenses can make all the difference. If you need contact lenses, our eye doctor on our optometry team can give you a prescription that you can use for contact lenses worn on a daily basis.
