Astigmatism Treatment in Westside

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 Memorial Eye Center - Wilcrest in Westside today!

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, Memorial Eye Center - Wilcrest in Westside has the perfect solution for your needs.

Naji A. - Jul 30, 2026
I have been wearing glasses and dealing with vision care for more than 18 years, and I can honestly ... say that I have never met a doctor Kim-Van Chau, as exceptional as this wonderful eye doctor. From the moment I met her, I was impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, patience, and genuine care for her patients. She took the time to listen carefully, explain everything clearly, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Her kindness, attention to detail, and dedication truly make her stand out. After all these years, I can confidently say that she is one of the best eye doctors I have ever seen. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent, caring, and highly professional eye doctor. Thank you, Doctor, for your outstanding care and for treating me with such kindness and respect!
