Astigmatism Treatment in Southside

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.

For astigmatism treatment, contact A1A Family EyeCare in Southside today!

How We Can Help

  • Come in for an eye exam and we'll determine what type of lens correction will offer you the clearest vision possible.
  • We'll discuss all your treatment options so you can feel confident that you've chosen the best option for your visual needs and lifestyle.
  • During your follow-up visit, we'll make sure that you're comfortable with your new eyewear and we'll check that your new lenses are providing you with crisp, clear vision.

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, A1A Family EyeCare in Southside has the perfect solution for your needs.

This is by far the best eye doctor I have been to in Jacksonville. The staff is kind & attentive. Th... e doctors are thorough and intentional with their conversations with you. They acknowledge your concerns and do not brush them off. Instead, they make you feel comfortable by educating on any conditions you might be experiencing. Highly recommend!
