Astigmatism
Accurate Diagnosis
- Comprehensive Eye Examinations: Our team conducts thorough eye examinations, including assessments of visual acuity, refraction, and corneal curvature, to accurately diagnose astigmatism and determine its severity.
- Corneal Topography: We utilize advanced corneal topography technology to precisely map the curvature of the cornea and identify irregularities that contribute to astigmatism, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
Customized Treatment Plans
- Prescription Eyewear: Depending on the degree of astigmatism, we prescribe customized eyeglasses or toric contact lenses to correct refractive errors and improve visual clarity. Our experienced opticians assist patients in selecting the most suitable eyewear options for their specific needs and lifestyle.
- Refractive Surgery Consultations: For patients seeking a permanent solution to correct astigmatism, we provide referrals for refractive surgery consultations, including LASIK and PRK, to reshape the cornea and reduce dependence on corrective lenses.
Ongoing Monitoring and Management
- Regular Follow-up Visits: We emphasize the importance of regular follow-up visits to monitor the progression of astigmatism and adjust treatment plans as needed. Our team provides ongoing support and guidance to ensure optimal visual outcomes and eye health.
- Lifestyle Modifications: We educate patients about lifestyle modifications and visual hygiene practices to manage astigmatism effectively. This includes tips for proper reading habits, maintaining adequate lighting, and taking regular breaks to reduce eye strain.
- Prevention of Complications: We discuss preventive measures to reduce the risk of complications associated with astigmatism, such as eyestrain, headaches, and difficulty seeing at night. By addressing underlying visual issues early on, we help maintain healthy eyes and prevent long-term complications.
