Say Goodbye to Blurred & Distorted Vision
Astigmatism Treatment in The Landings
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, Foothills Vision and Eye Care in The Landings has the perfect solution for your needs.
Astigmatism Diagnosis Treatment FAQs
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
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.
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).

For the last 6 months or so, I have been having trouble with my right eye. It just ACHES on occasion... Show More. I went to a Doctor of Optometry in Ft. Collins, who referred me to a clinic in The Republic of Bouldah.
Well, I made that drive (Twice!) in the course of 10 days, because the OD in FC *thought* she saw a problem with my retina.
To make a long story short (yeah, I know . . . too late!), there was NO problem. After cold calling Dr. Matthew Skrdla, mainly because of 350 5-star reviews on Google, I was able to get in today, Monday April 20th.
Dr. Skrdla is an OD as well, in an office in The Landings. His office has been there for around five years, if I remember my conversation with "Zoey" correctly.
He took all the time he needed to look at my eyes, moving me from specialty machine to specialty machine, designed to look into the depths of my eyes, if not my soul.
In the end, he came up with several versions of exactly WHY my eye might be aching. I asked him to tell me in layman terms what they were, but even his "dumbed down" version was more than I can follow. Not really, but it is certainly more than I can repeat.
After the exam, Zoey took over the process, showing me different frames for lenses. As a first-time customer, as she said, they offered me a 40% DISCOUNT on my first pair of glasses. The same discount will apply to the second pair as well, when *if* the first pair works out. She gave me a time frame to buy the second pair with the same discount, which, as I recall, was 90 days. I certainly felt as if it was plenty of time to evaluate the first pair.
It will take a few weeks to get my new glasses in. In the meanwhile, I will make do with my 1.75 diopter "readers", which have gotten me this far.
As it turns out, my right eye has an astigmatism, and BOTH eyes need 2.25 diopter correction lenses! There was more to it than that, but THAT is a good beginning.
Zoey will be in touch when it's time to move forward with my new eyes. I can hardly wait!
