Astigmatism

Detroit Refractive Eye Surgery Specialist – Dr. Weingarten
Astigmatism

Astigmatism is caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea. The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye and it is normally round. If you have astigmatism, your cornea is shaped more like a football, causing your vision to be distorted.

The blur from the astigmatism is frequently combined with nearsightedness, farsightedness or presbyopia, and can usually be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. If you choose to wear contacts and have a high degree of astigmatism, a hard gas permeable or soft toric lens may be needed to correct your vision.

The symptoms of astigmatism are blurry vision, headaches, and eyestrain. If you are experiencing any visual problems, you should see an eye care professional for a thorough eye examination.

Had Lasik recently and Dr Weingarten and his staff were wonderful before and after! They answered all my questions and made it a good experience for me! Highly recommend Rochester Eye Care!

Capable and experienced, the quality of life improvement after my Lasik eye surgery is priceless. The staff is friendly, helpful, and organized, and they have a good selection of glasses and good prices.

Dr. Weingarten performed LASIK for one eye. Although I went into it pretty nervous, the procedure itself was pretty straightforward and painless. My recovery was very quick. By the next morning my eye felt almost back to normal. Dr. Weingarten did a great job and I would refer others to him. Very happy with my monovision!

I had LASIK done here. The entire staff was great before, during, and after the procedure. I recommend Rochester Eye Care if you're considering LASIK.
