Whether you're driving on State Road 135, enjoying the outdoors, or reading with loved ones, clear vision matters. If astigmatism is causing you blurry sight, effective treatments can help restore clarity.
Understanding Astigmatism and Its Impact
Astigmatism is a common issue caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens. This irregularity prevents light from focusing evenly on the retina (the tissue at the back of the eye), causing light to scatter and resulting in blurred or distorted vision at all distances.
Astigmatism often occurs alongside nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). Symptoms can include:
- Blurred or wavy vision
- Eye strain or fatigue, particularly after reading or prolonged screen use
- Headaches from extended visual tasks
- Difficulty seeing clearly at night
Mild astigmatism may go unnoticed, but moderate to severe astigmatism can interfere with daily activities, work, school, and recreation. We believe Greenwood residents deserve clear vision to enjoy an active and independent lifestyle.
