Astigmatism

Astigmatism can cause blurred or distorted vision, headaches, and eye strain if left untreated. Book an eye exam today and take the first step toward sharper vision.

What is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism is a common refractive error caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens. Instead of being perfectly round, the eye curves more like a football, which makes light focus unevenly on the retina. This can result in blurry or distorted vision at any distance.

HATE DRIVING AT NIGHT?

In an eye with a refractive error, the mismatched curves in the eye prevent the light rays from bending properly. The result is a blurry image. There are two different types of astigmatism: corneal astigmatism, where the mismatched curves occur in the cornea, and lenticular astigmatism where the curves in the lens are mismatched. Both cause blurry vision but can occur more horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
