Astigmatism - Metropolitan Eye Center | Metro Detroit | LASIK
Understanding Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common eye condition that affects the way light enters the eye, leading to blurred or distorted vision. Metropolitan Eye Center, located in Metro Detroit, offers comprehensive eye care and specialized treatments for astigmatism. Led by David J Scholten, OD, PC, our experienced team is dedicated to helping you achieve optimal eye health.
The Causes and Symptoms of Astigmatism
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, or the lens inside the eye, has an irregular shape. This irregularity causes the light entering the eye to focus on multiple points rather than a single point, resulting in distorted and blurry vision.
Symptoms of astigmatism may include:
- Blurry or fuzzy vision at any distance
- Eye strain or discomfort
- Headaches
- Squinting
- Difficulty seeing at night
Treatments for Astigmatism
Metropolitan Eye Center offers various treatment options for astigmatism, including:
- Eyeglasses: Prescription glasses with specially crafted lenses can correct astigmatism by compensating for the irregularities in the shape of the cornea or lens.
- Contact lenses: Soft or rigid gas-permeable contact lenses can effectively correct astigmatism, providing clear and comfortable vision.
- LASIK surgery: A popular refractive surgery option, LASIK can reshape the cornea to correct astigmatism and improve overall vision. David J Scholten, OD, PC, is highly experienced in performing LASIK surgery.
- Orthokeratology: This non-surgical treatment involves wearing specialized contact lenses overnight to gently reshape the cornea and correct astigmatism.
- Corneal Relaxing Incisions: In some cases, small incisions are made in the cornea to help reshape it and correct astigmatism.
