Astigmatism refers to an irregularly shaped cornea or lens that distorts light and prevents it from properly reaching the retina in one sharp point of focus. Patients with astigmatism can have difficulties seeing up close and items at a distance. Astigmatism is a common condition that may occur in conjunction with nearsightedness or farsightedness. Astigmatism symptoms generally include blurry vision, eye fatigue, squinting, and trouble seeing at night. At SPEX in Seattle, WA, Dr. Scott Campbell has lots of experience diagnosing and treating astigmatism. If you or a family member have astigmatism, Dr. Campbell can perform an eye exam and fit you with prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses that improve your eyesight.

Thanks to cutting-edge technology, LASIK surgery centers now offer advanced treatments that restore the normal shape of corneas and lenses, allowing you to see more clearly and eliminating the need for glasses and contacts in most cases.

Everything about my experience was top-notch. The new location is excellent and easy to reach by public transportation. The staff are not only kind, but clearly expert professionals. Dr. Campbell has a gift for narrating his actions, allowing his patients clarity about what he is seeing in the various scans. He then provides options for treatment. Highly recommended.

About Us
What's the difference between astigmatism and regular nearsightedness or farsightedness?

While all three are refractive errors, astigmatism is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, causing light to be focused unevenly. Nearsightedness and farsightedness are caused by the eyeball being too long or too short, respectively.

What does it mean if my astigmatism is classified as "high?"

"High" astigmatism generally refers to cases where the curvature difference in the eye is significant enough that it's more challenging to correct with standard eyeglasses or contact lenses. In these cases, specialty lenses or surgical procedures might be considered.

Is astigmatism common in children?

Yes, astigmatism can occur in children. In fact, it's often present from birth. Regular eye exams are essential for children to detect and correct any vision problems early.
