Astigmatism is caused by an irregular curvature of the eye's cornea or lens.

Astigmatism symptoms may include:

• blurry vision or areas of distorted vision

• eyestrain

• headaches

• squinting to try to see clearly, or eye discomfort

👁 If you have these symptoms you may not necessarily have astigmatism. You should visit to your ophthalmologist. A complete eye exam will determine what is causing your symptoms.

Astigmatism is very common.

Astigmatism can get better or worse as you age. It is crucial that children and adults have regular eye exams. Get these exams to detect astigmatism and other vision problems as early as possible.

Please contact our office to book an appointment at 407-891-2010.

Anyone with glasses knows this problem by now.  When you're wearing a face mask, they tend to fog up really easily.

As annoying as it may be, don’t stop wearing your mask. Masking helps stop the spread of COVID-19. Instead, follow our tips for keeping your eyeglasses, sunglasses or safety goggles clear.

Fit your mask to your face

If your mask doesn’t fit your face well, warm air is likely to escape and fog up your lenses. 

Wipe your lenses before wearing them

Adjust your glasses

Pushing your glasses forward on your nose will allow more air to circulate and keep your breath from fogging up your vision.  

Rest your glasses over your face mask

Try pulling your mask up over your nose and rest your glasses on top of it.
