Astigmatism is a common eye condition that causes blurry vision. Astigmatism is caused when the cornea is misshapen, causing light to hit the retina improperly. Symptoms include headaches, eye strain, and difficulty seeing in the evening. If you believe that you have astigmatism and live in the Fremont, CA, area, visit an eye doctor at Warm Springs Optometric Group.
How Can an Optometrist Help an Astigmatism?
Our eye doctor can diagnose and treat astigmatisms easily. We will perform a comprehensive eye exam to diagnose the condition properly. We may fit you for special eyeglasses to improve your vision. You may require a special lens with a unique prescription and a cylindrical lens for astigmatism.
What Else Can Help an Astigmatism?
If you do not want to wear eyeglasses, contact lenses are another option you can consider. Our optometrist may consider surgery to correct your vision for more severe conditions. The surgery is intended to change the cornea's shape so that it can focus light properly. Lasers may be used for corrective surgery. Our eye doctor can determine which options are right for you.
