Say Goodbye to Blurred & Distorted Vision

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 Alvernon Optical - Campbell in Tucson today!

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, Alvernon Optical - Campbell in Tucson has the perfect solution for your needs.


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).

Dr.Tetrault at the Alvernon Optical Clinic on North Campbell was wonderful. I went there to get my ... eyes checked because I was experiencing an increase in blurry vision. He told me that I didn't need new glasses as the RX of my current glasses was almost identical to what I would need. He told me the reason for the increase in blurred vision was the result of my cataracts which I knew that I had but I hadn't realized that they had gotten bad enough to require surgery. Dr. Tetrault referred me to an eye surgeon. I so appreciated his frank and honest evaluation of my vision issue.

I recently visited Alvernon Optical on Campbell, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. A... s someone who has worn glasses almost my whole life, I’m well-acquainted with the routine of eye exams, choosing frames, and the usual hassles involved. However, the staff at Alvernon Optical were absolutely phenomenal, making this visit stand out. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and felt at ease. The team was professional, friendly, and attentive. The doctor who conducted my eye exam was kind and courteous, taking the time to explain everything thoroughly and ensuring I understood each step of the process. Choosing frames was also a breeze, thanks to the knowledgeable staff who guided me through their selection with patience and expertise. They made sure I found the perfect pair that suited both my style and prescription needs. Overall, Alvernon Optical provided a top-notch experience that went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of eye care services.

The staff are absolutely amazing. Cecilia, Tracy, and the wonderful tech who did the pre-exam testin... g (I really wish I could remember her name) are top notch. Dr. Tetrault has decades of experience, and I appreciate the ease with which he completed the exam. This was a very positive experience every step of the process, from scheduling to wait times (minimal if any). Great communication and great staff make this a go-to not only for me, but now for family members as well.
