Treatment of astigmatism

Astigmatism is one of the most common vision disorders that causes blurred and distorted images. Without proper treatment, this condition can worsen the quality of life, cause headaches, eye fatigue, and reduced visual acuity. The Oxford Medical Center in Kyiv offers modern methods of diagnosing and correcting astigmatism.

Astigmatism is a disorder of the refraction of light rays due to the irregular shape of the cornea or lens. In a healthy eye, the surface of the cornea has a spherical shape, which allows the rays to focus evenly on the retina. With astigmatism, refraction occurs unevenly, which causes blurred images at different distances.

There are several types of astigmatism:

• Simple - when one meridian of the eye has the correct refraction, and the other is disturbed.
• Complex - if the anomaly is present in both meridians, but with different intensity.
• Mixed - a combination of myopia in one meridian and hyperopia in the other.

One of the forms is myopic astigmatism, the treatment of which depends on the degree of myopia and the age of the patient.

Mixed astigmatism is more difficult to correct because it combines signs of nearsightedness and farsightedness. Treatment may include a combination of methods: wearing toric lenses, eye exercises, and surgical methods for high degrees of impairment.

Many patients seek to avoid surgery.

For astigmatism, non-surgical treatment may include:

• using glasses or contact lenses;
• undergoing hardware treatment;
• special eye exercises that help improve accommodation.

The choice of treatment method depends on the patient's age, the degree of astigmatism and associated vision problems. At the Oxford Medical Medical Center, doctors select an individual solution for each patient to achieve the best result.

If you have astigmatism of the eye, treatment should be started as early as possible to avoid complications and improve the quality of vision. Make an appointment with an ophthalmologist at the Oxford Medical Clinic in Kyiv and get professional help.

The main causes of astigmatism:

• hereditary factor;
• eye injuries;
• cicatricial changes of the cornea after operations or inflammations;
• pathologies of the lens;
• increased strain on the eyes.

In some cases, astigmatism may be congenital or develop due to age-related changes.

The Oxford Medical Medical Center in Kyiv has a modern ophthalmology department, where patients can undergo a comprehensive examination and receive high-quality medical care.

The cost of astigmatism treatment depends on the chosen correction method, the degree of the disorder, and the individual characteristics of the patient. You can find out about the prices at the Oxford Medical Ophthalmology Department here. The doctor will provide you with more detailed information about the options and prices during the consultation. If the patient needs surgery for astigmatism, the price can be determined after the diagnosis, as it depends on the type and degree of the pathology.
