Say Goodbye to Blurred & Distorted Vision
Astigmatism Treatment in Brentwood
Have you been told you have astigmatism?
Are constant headaches and eyestrain impacting your life?
Astigmatism is a common eye condition characterized by an irregular curvature of the cornea that causes blurry, fuzzy, or distorted vision.
While astigmatism can certainly be a nuisance, there is no reason to suffer from it. It can be easily corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or laser eye surgery.
For astigmatism treatment, contact Primary EyeCare - Brentwood. in Brentwood today!

4 Ways to Treat Astigmatism
-
Prescription eyeglasses
Mild to moderate levels of astigmatism can often be corrected with eyeglasses that contain a unique optical power (cylinder) to combat blurry vision caused by astigmatism.
-
Toric contact lenses
Toric contact lenses are customized to your corneal shape and contain varying corrective powers throughout the lens. These soft contact lenses provide clear, sharp vision for people with mild to moderate astigmatism.
-
Scleral contact lenses
Scleral contact lenses are ideal for moderate to severe astigmatism. These specialized rigid lenses are designed to arch over your irregular shaped cornea and rest on your sclera (the white part of your eye), to deliver clear vision.
-
Laser eye surgery
If you're looking to free yourself from eyeglasses and contact lenses, laser eye surgery offers permanent astigmatism correction. Candidacy for laser eye surgery depends on your age, and the type and severity of your astigmatism.
No matter your level of astigmatism, Primary EyeCare - Brentwood. in Brentwood has the perfect solution for your needs.
Astigmatism Diagnosis Treatment FAQs
Astigmatism occurs when either the cornea or the lens inside the eye has mismatched curves, causing the eye surface to be egg-shaped rather than round.
While astigmatism causes blurry vision at all distances, it can also cause:
- Wavy or distorted vision
- Eye strain
- Headaches
- Squinting
- Poor night vision
If you have astigmatism, corrective lenses (contacts or glasses) specifically designed for astigmatic eyes are an effective way to correct your blurry vision. They contain your optical prescription along with a specific cylinder lens power to target astigmatism and provide you with crystal clear vision. Laser surgery is another effective option to correct astigmatism.
About 20% of babies are born with astigmatism. In most cases, it disappears by around age 5. In others, astigmatism can become permanent and even worsen over time, generally stabilizing once the eyes reach their adult size (at around age 20).
