Astigmatism is a refractive error that causes blurry vision at all distances due to the shape of either your cornea or the lens in your eyes. If you have this eye condition, you can come to our team at Norfolk Family Eye Care at our Port Dover, ON, Waterford, ON, or Simcoe, ON, locations. An eye doctor on our team can help you with eyeglasses or contacts.
When Does It Appear?
Astigmatism may show up at birth or develop over the course of your life. It's fairly common and it's easily treated with glasses or contact lenses. A lot of the time, it doesn't interfere with people's lives but if it ever gets severe enough to start affecting your vision, we are here to help.
Eye Exam
The best way to get a proper diagnosis of astigmatism is to have an eye doctor near you conduct an eye exam. This may be especially important if they are going to prepare contact lenses for you.
Lasik Eye Surgery Pre- and Post-Operative Care
There are also surgical options, like Lasik. It's a fairly routine procedure, but you will usually have to wait some time before your sight fully returns to normal. Also, there are certain factors that can keep you from being a candidate. Although we do not offer Lasik surgery, we can provide a consultation to find out if you are a good candidate. We can also provide pre- and post-operative care.
See an eye doctor near you if you notice that you have blurred or distorted vision, eye strain, headaches, difficulty with night vision, or if you're squinting a lot. There are a lot of options out there to help you if you have astigmatism so don’t delay in getting treatment.
