Astigmatism Treatment in Exton

Say Goodbye to Blurred & Distorted Vision

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.

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, Clompus Reto and Halscheid Vision - Exton in Exton has the perfect solution for your needs.

Astigmatism Diagnosis Treatment FAQs

What does astigmatism do to your eyes?

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

How do you fix astigmatism?

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.

Why has my astigmatism worsened?

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).

During my annual eye exam on 5/21/25, my O.D. [and part time super sleuth], Dr. Jillian Penney, of C... Show MoreRH Vision found a hole in my retina not previously seen / nor reported. Dr. Penney , working together with Dr. Ward and the team at Chester County Eye Care Assoc were fabulous. The two EXTRAORDINARY customer service teams were able to make room an appointment for me with one of ChesCo Eye Assoc premier Retinal Specialists, Dr. Michael J. Ward for 1:30. For context, the hole was discovered at about 11:45. Dr. Ward and his team were wonderful to work with, just as Dr. Penney’s team had been! Dr.Ward et al, were Laser-focused on my wHOLE problem [puns intended] Listened intently, not easy with my vocal cord paresis weakened voice They worked as “Fast and Furious” as excellent medical care delivery allowed, Dr. Ward confirmed the hole, explained the options, likely cause and ramifications if left untreated. It was a no-brainer. Off to the laser room I went (much to my wife’s surprise) seeking treatment that quite likely would be saving my vision, especially compared to a do-nothing-decision. In about 5 minutes (though it felt more like 15!), Dr Ward had lasered the hole closed! By 2:30, I was on my way home with one less hole in my head. PHEW, make that a double PHEW for me please. As one of my wise beyond-her-years daughters astutely noted “that was better and faster service than a drive thru …” FOR SURE! Vin Diesel and Paul Walker would have been mightily impressed, I am certain! Fingers crossed none of you ever gets to enjoy so much fun but, just in case, it’s very comforting to know there are still people and organizations that think like this, act like this and deliver results like this!

My sincere gratitude! J P FOOTNOTE: size is IN THE EYE of the beholder. To wit, A “little hole” is what happens to the proverbial “you”, no matter the actual size, ANY extra holes in MY head are MAMMOTH!’ 😂🤷‍♂️🤣
