Clearer Vision Solutions for Astigmatism Patients in Dallas
Astigmatism is a common condition that causes blurred or distorted vision because of an irregularly shaped cornea or lens. Many people don’t realize they have astigmatism until they experience eyestrain, headaches, or trouble seeing at night. We use advanced diagnostic testing to measure astigmatism and create customized vision correction plans to help patients see clearly and comfortably.
What is Astigmatism & Why It Matters?
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea (the front surface of the eye) or the lens inside the eye has an irregular shape, preventing light from focusing properly on the retina. This leads to blurry vision at all distances and can cause eyestrain, difficulty reading, and problems with night vision.
Many people with mild astigmatism don’t realize they have it until symptoms affect daily tasks. Because astigmatism can change over time, regular eye exams are essential for detecting and managing vision changes before they cause discomfort or frustration.
Signs & Symptoms of Astigmatism
Astigmatism can cause a variety of symptoms that may worsen without proper correction. Common signs include:
- Blurry or distorted vision at all distances.
- Frequent headaches or eyestrain, especially after reading or screen use.
- Difficulty seeing clearly at night, often noticing halos or glare around lights.
- Squinting to focus on objects can temporarily improve clarity but lead to fatigue.
- Frequent prescription changes without a noticeable improvement in vision.
