can you diagnose astigmatism during a regular exam?
An instance of why sticking to your annual eye examinations is so important is monitoring and managing the possibility of eye strain and vision impairment such as astigmatism. Since astigmatism is when the eye lens’ shape is more oval versus round, an optometrist measures the curvature of the cornea and the shape of the eye’s lens during a procedural eye exam.
is there only one type of astigmatism?
The shape of your cornea may be different from that of other people you know with astigmatism since there are actually various kinds that can affect your vision.
For instance, you may have trouble seeing objects up close, or you can see objects perfectly fine up close yet experience difficulty seeing objects far away.
Our optometrist can determine which type of astigmatism you have and if you have a combination of both!
The types of astigmatism are:
● Myopic astigmatism- nearsightedness with astigmatism.
● Hyperopic astigmatism- farsightedness with astigmatism.
● Mixed astigmatism- a combination of nearsightedness and farsightedness with astigmatism.do you need continued treatment for astigmatism?
While there are treatment plans for this common vision problem, in many cases, astigmatism is a lifelong, refractive, and underlying shape of the cornea or lens that may not change over time. However, our eye care professionals will discuss solutions with you and determine if you are the right candidate for refractive surgery, corrective lenses, glasses, or other available treatment options.
