Myopia (near sightedness), hyperopia (far sightedness) and astigmatism are common refractive errors that reduce the clarity of one’s vision. Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry, hyperopia causes near objects to appear blurry, and astigmatism causes blurriness for both distance and near vision.
The eyes of a patient with astigmatism will be shaped more like an oval than a perfect sphere. The irregular shape of their eyeball blurs their vision as the light rays are not coming together and focusing on the right place.
At Ascend Eye Clinic, we view vision correction as a chance to enable you to achieve the fullest potential of your personal best vision.
The type of vision correction procedure that is most suited to you will depend on different factors that will be considered by your eye surgeon, including your age, the degree of short sightedness you have, the thickness of your cornea and any other co-existing ocular conditions that you may have.
