Astigmatism

Astigmatism is an imperfection in your eye's shape that causes distorted vision. At Wichita Optometry, we know just how important it is to have good vision and eye health. This is why we have provided Wichita residents with astigmatism treatment for many years. Learning about this common eye problem is your first line of defense to ensure your eyes are healthy. 

Astigmatism

Causes

Astigmatism is usually hereditary. It can also occur after eye surgery or an eye injury. This imperfection is a common issue that affects more than 3 million people every year. While it is annoying, astigmatism is not harmful to your health.

Symptoms

The most common symptom of this issue is distorted vision both up close and far away. Many people who wear glasses or contacts have some form of astigmatism.  Astigmatism can cause fatigue and strain in the eyes.

Diagnosis

Our eye doctor will perform an eye exam to determine whether or not you are suffering from astigmatism. We will check your eye health as well as refraction to determine how your eyes are bending light. Our optometrist may use various tools and equipment to check for astigmatism, and may even shine a bright light into your eyes. 

Treatment

The most common treatment for this eye imperfection is corrective lenses. Both glasses and contacts can be worn to correct astigmatism. Laser surgery has also gained popularity in recent years as a way to correct astigmatism. Our eye doctor will discuss with you which option is best for your specific situation.
