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.

For astigmatism treatment, contact Omni Vision - Westloop in Far West Side today!

Give Your Eyes the Care They Deserve

How We Can Help

normal eye and eye with astigmatism

  • Come in for an eye exam and we’ll determine what type of lens correction will offer you the clearest vision possible.
  • We’ll discuss all your treatment options so you can feel confident that you’ve chosen the best option for your visual needs and lifestyle.
  • During your follow-up visit, we’ll make sure that you’re comfortable with your new eyewear and we'll check that your new lenses are providing you with crisp, clear vision.

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, Omni Vision - Westloop in Far West Side has the perfect solution for your needs.

I went in to look for eye glasses. Lynette, who stated she worked at the other store normally, was e... xtremely professional, friendly. I had the best experience compare to all the other eye glass place in and out of town. I like to sleep on decisions like this because I do not have insurance . It will cost close to $1,000 for my prescription so I like take my time. But, if I decide to purchase my glasses there, I hope she will be available. Although the rest of the staff was awesome too.

Dr. Violet Ehiem is top notch! Staff is very friendly and warm. They were able to run all the exams ... and explain what they did. Once again, Dr. Ehiem is THE BEST!!! She's super friendly and lively! Definitely made my visit smooth and enjoyable! I was in and out in a little under 45 minutes for my exam!

The Doctor and staff were awesome I couldn't have ask for better service. The only thing I wish they... had was a larger selection of eye wear to choose from. But it's not a deal breaker.

The experience me and my mom had was more that expected. The front staff Macy was very knowledgeable... about our insurance and the coverage we had. My mom wasn’t sure but she took care of our insurance needs. The cool thing about it was the photos we took of our eyes. Everyone was involved with our whole visit. The manager talked to us and made sure that we were happy with everything from check in to checkout she even opened the door for us when we left!!! We are anxious to get our glasses
- Sep. 05, 2022
Staff is friendly and welcoming. Short wait times. Looks can be deceiving, seems like only a few o... ptions for glasses however there are many options in easily accessible display drawers. Staff went above and beyond to make sure I picked glasses I loved. Dr was great! He was friendly and explained everything while doing it. Answered all my questions. Gave me options to ensure I made best decision.

Astigmatism Diagnosis Treatment FAQs

What does astigmatism do to your eyes?

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
How do you fix astigmatism?

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.

Why has my astigmatism worsened?

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).
