The latest services cover the evaluation and treatment of astigmatism through the use of eyeglasses or specialized contact lenses.
Astigmatism is a refractive error that occurs when something causes one’s eye shape to change. When a person has astigmatism, the surface of their eye has a more oval shape rather than a rounded shape, which makes it harder to see clearly.
Over time, astigmatism can aggravate, so it is very important to see an eye doctor whenever one notices changes in their vision. Some of the most common symptoms of astigmatism include blurred or distorted vision, trouble seeing clearly when driving at night, squinting, eyestrain, and headaches.
During the eye exam, the optometrist will measure the patient’s visual acuity based on their ability to read letters or numbers on an eye chart. The Classic Vision Care team will also determine the focusing power of the patient’s eyes, and they may also use a keratometer to measure the curvature of the cornea.
Based on these tests, the experienced optometrists will be able to determine if the patient has astigmatism. After providing a diagnosis, they will discuss with patients their treatment options. These can include eyeglasses, contacts, or LASIK surgery.
One of the most common options is the use of soft contact lenses. Another excellent treatment is wearing rigid gas permeable lenses, which give the clearest vision but have a longer adaptation process.
A satisfied patient said: “This was my first visit with Dr. Swalla. She took her time to listen to the eye issues I’m experiencing and completed a thorough eye evaluation to have a good understanding of my medical eye issues before providing a diagnosis. She’s pleasant to speak with and I felt comfortable during the entire appointment. It’s been only 3 days since my appointment and I’m already experiencing improvements.”
