Treatment for Astigmatism
The condition can be treated with corrective lenses or refractive surgery. Depending on the severity of your astigmatism,
Dr. Durante will recommend either lenses or, in more severe cases, refractive surgery.
Corrective Lenses
There is a special type of contact lens that is used in the treatment of astigmatism. Known as a toric, these soft lenses help to bend light more in one direction than the other, thus alleviating the signs of astigmatism.
Refractive Surgery
Is used in more severe cases and entails a laser to reshape the cornea. This procedure is available to patients with otherwise good health and a retina that does not have any previous scarring.
Astigmatism Diagnosis
The diagnosis of astigmatism comes through regular eye exams, with most patients reporting symptoms similar to those of near or far-sightedness. There can be multiple conditions which will need to be treated and Dr. Durante can work with you to address each one.
As the signs and symptoms of astigmatism can come on slowly and be very similar in nature to other eye conditions, it is imperative to receive regular eye exams to allow Dr. Durante to monitor the health and condition of your eyes and eyesight.
Prevention of Astigmatism
As the cause of astigmatism is a misshapen eye, there is no real way to prevent the disorder if it occurs at birth. The condition can also be caused by physical injury so it remains very important to wear protective eyewear when participating in any type of sport or other physical activity.
If you are having difficulty focusing, or are experiencing blurred vision, it is a good idea to visit your eye doctor immediately to rule out any serious condition and receive treatment for whatever is causing the condition.
