Astigmatism in San Antonio

Eye Care in San Antonio
Astigmatism can be described as blurry or wavy vision that is the result of a misshaping of your corneas. It affects how you see at all distances, not just up close or far away. Like with the other common refractive conditions, nearsightedness and farsightedness, astigmatism can be simply corrected with a pair of corrective lenses here at The Eyeglass Shop.
When you come in for our eye care in San Antonio, the sure sign of astigmatism’s presence is that your cornea, instead of it being round, will be shaped more similarly to a spoon. It’s this shape that causes light to be refracted more in one direction that is is in another. The question is why does this change in shape take place? It may be due to heredity that you are more susceptible to it. Some even are born with astigmatism. Ultimately, though, it’s when too much pressure is on your corneas or eyelids, you spend too much time looking at things up close, or even improper posture that it develops. Once it has, it cannot be cured, except through laser eye surgery. However, you need not submit to a procedure to restore more optimal vision. Prescription lenses will counteract the effects of astigmatism. You may need bifocal or trifocal lenses, if you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, or both along with it. Our eye care in San Antonio recommends a yearly eye exam, but if you notice any of the following symptoms, you should not wait until then: headaches, eye fatigue, eye strain, or blurry vision.
Our eye care in San Antonio will restore the level of vision that will allow you to see more clearly and sharply at all distances. As changes to your eyes occur over time, adjustments can be made to the prescription we provide you to account for them. Contact our office right now and schedule an appointment to come in for your eye exam.
