Bringing Incredible Vision to Tarrant County for 29 years
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is shaped like a football (more curved in one direction than the other) and often occurs in combination with myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). This causes light to focus in more than one point on the retina, resulting in blurry and distorted vision.
Causes of astigmatism include heredity, eyelid swellings, corneal scars and Keratoconus.
The professionals at Kleiman | Evangelista Eye Center conduct refractive evaluations, which determine whether your eyes focus light rays exactly on the retina up close and at distance, and a visual acuity test will determine your ability to see sharply and clearly at all distances. During your examination The Kleiman | Evangelista team will also check your eyes' coordination, muscle control and ability to change focus, all of which are important factors in how well you see.
If you or your child has astigmatism, glasses and contact lenses may be used for temporary treatment. Kleiman | Evangelista Eye Center also has several procedures that can surgically reduce or eliminate astigmatism.
