Astigmatism
Astigmatism, a prevalent optical condition, pertains to the irregular contour of the eye’s front surface. This irregularity in curvature disrupts the accurate refraction or bending of incoming light rays. Notable indications of astigmatism encompass:
- Blurry or Distorted Vision
- Eyestrain
- Headaches
- Discomfort or the Need to Squint
For individuals encountering mild to moderate levels of astigmatism, potential alleviation is attainable through the employment of eyeglasses or contact lenses. These corrective measures effectively counterbalance the uneven curves present in the eye’s cornea and lens. Should you observe any of the symptoms above, our doctors are primed to administer a comprehensive ocular examination. This meticulous assessment aims to definitively ascertain the presence and extent of astigmatism, thereby facilitating the formulation of an appropriate course of action.
Contact Lens Fitting
Our practitioners prioritize your comfort by matching you with suitable contact lenses tailored to your unique eye traits. A comprehensive eye exam before fitting lenses confirms eye health and identifies potential hindrances. During this process, our doctors guide you in lens insertion, assess comfort, and tailor lens type to your lifestyle. They measure your eyes, ensuring lens angles fit your contours perfectly. These measurements will encompass:
- Corneal Curvature
- Pupil Size
- Tear Film Evaluation
Our primary aim is to provide an exceptional contact lens experience, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit. We offer a wide range of contact lens types, materials, sizes, and colors to suit our patients’ diverse preferences. Feel free to ask any questions during your fitting session. We’re open to accommodating your choices if specific contact lens brands interest you. Your satisfaction and visual well-being are our top priorities.
Learning to Use Contacts
We recommend a comprehensive fitting procedure for those new to contact lenses to ensure comfort and confidence. While one session often suffices, some may need multiple appointments for optimal comfort.

- Proper Lens Cleaning Techniques
