By combining compassionate care with state-of-the-art technology, we help patients see life clearly and comfortably, now and in the future.

Understanding Astigmatism and Its Effects

Astigmatism is a common refractive (light-focusing) condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens. This irregular curvature prevents light from falling evenly on the retina, scattering it instead. The result is blurred or distorted vision at all distances, affecting everyday activities. Astigmatism can occur alongside nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). Typical symptoms include:

Blurred or wavy vision
Eye strain or fatigue, especially after prolonged reading or screen use
Headaches caused by visual effort
Difficulty seeing clearly at night

While mild astigmatism may go unnoticed, moderate to severe cases can interfere with driving, work tasks, school, and recreational activities.

When to Consider Astigmatism Treatment in Kokomo, IN

Persistent visual disturbances are a sign that it’s time for an evaluation. Early diagnosis and treatment prevent eye strain and help maintain comfortable, clear vision. Schedule a consultation if you notice:

Frequent squinting or eye discomfort
Distorted or blurry vision that glasses do not fully correct
Glare or difficulty with nighttime driving

Our specialists take a long-term approach, focusing on eye health and visual comfort for years to come.

Astigmatism Treatment Options

At Eye Surgeons of Indiana, we offer personalized solutions for astigmatism, from non-surgical to surgical options. Each treatment is chosen based on your prescription, lifestyle, and eye health.

Laser Vision Correction

For patients seeking a more permanent solution, laser procedures reshape the cornea to correct blurred or unclear vision. Our astigmatism specialists in Kokomo, IN, offer:

LASIK: A flap is created in the cornea, and the underlying tissue is reshaped for rapid recovery and minimal discomfort
PRK: Surface tissue is reshaped, ideal for patients with thinner or irregular corneas

Laser correction improves both near and distance vision, reduces dependence on glasses or contacts, and enhances overall visual clarity.

EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)

For higher prescriptions or patients not suited for laser surgery, EVO ICL offers a reversible, additive solution. A biocompatible lens is implanted inside the eye without removing corneal tissue. Benefits include:

High-quality vision, including night vision
Reversibility if needed
Minimal impact on the cornea
Protection from UV damage

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)

Patients with significant astigmatism and age-related vision changes may benefit from RLE, which replaces the natural lens with an intraocular lens (IOL) that corrects astigmatism and presbyopia simultaneously. Ideal for patients over 40, RLE reduces reliance on both glasses and contacts for near and distance vision.

Who Is a Candidate for Astigmatism Treatment?

Eligibility varies based on prescription stability, age, eye health, and lifestyle goals. Ideal candidates may:

Have stable astigmatism for at least one year
Be free from active eye conditions that may interfere with healing
Seek a reduction in dependence on glasses or contacts
Desire long-term vision correction

Our Kokomo astigmatism specialists use advanced diagnostic imaging to determine the safest and most effective approach for each patient.

Recovery and Follow-Up

Recovery depends on treatment type:

Laser vision correction: Noticeable improvement within 24–48 hours; full stabilization over weeks
EVO ICL or RLE: Quick recovery; significant improvement is often noticed within days

Routine follow-up allows monitoring for complications and ensures long-term satisfaction with vision.

Astigmatism Treatment Frequently Asked Questions

Can astigmatism worsen over time?

Yes. Untreated astigmatism may progress, making early treatment important and most effective.

How long do laser results last?

Vision is usually stable for years; enhancements are possible if minor changes occur. See our Life Assurance Plan for more details on this.

Can astigmatism correction be combined with presbyopia (near vision loss) or cataract surgery?

Yes, surgery can address multiple vision issues simultaneously. For example, Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) eliminates the risk of cataract formation in the eye and can be combined with astigmatism treatment.

Is treatment painful?

Procedures are generally comfortable. Laser treatments use numbing drops, while EVO ICL and RLE are performed under local anesthesia with sedation.
