Astigmatism
Astigmatism refers to the shape of the front surface of the eye. An example would be football/egg shape instead of basketball/round shape. Distorted vision, things “not looking just right”, and bowing lines are all complaints that astigmatism patients endure.
Why it’s Important to Get Regular Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams often are the first way chronic systemic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes are detected. Regular eye exams are the best way to ensure eye health and maintaining your best vision possible. They also check for diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
