Say Goodbye to Blurred & Distorted Vision

(970) 224-9880

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.

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, Mountain View Eye Specialists in Rigden Farm 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).

I highly recommend this place. I was traveling cross country on a motorcycle from CT and had to have... an emergency appointment. They were able to see me right away as a walk in. I was anxious about what was going on with my eye….the staff and doctor showed so much compassion and kindness. The cost of the appointment was also very reasonable as I had to self pay. I wish I had a place like this in CT.

Dr. Ricke was amazing with my 9 year old son. He was personable and put him at ease quickly. Turns o... ut he has tons of experience with children. My son liked him and would see him again!

Everyone is so friendly and attentive! I had a great experience with all of the receptionists. The t... ech who did my pre exam stuff was so so sweet, I wish I got her name. I wish I got the name of the woman that helped me with glasses measurements as well — she was so kind and funny, both of these ladies deserve recognition! Dr Amy was awesome — very informed and happy to share her knowledge with me. She also found things about my eyes that had not been noticed by prior eye doctors. I believe the changes she made to my prescription are going to significantly improve side effects I’m experiencing that I didn’t even know COULD be fixed by this. I also came in with VERY busted and broken glasses, to the point of embarrassment lol, but I felt no judgement from the staff. A little thing but it made a big difference to me! Been going to this office for a couple years now, love it!

Big thank you to the entire team at Mountain View Eye Specialists! They truly go above and beyond to... look after your best interests—and what really sets them apart is how much they genuinely care about their patients. I’m so glad I chose them for my eye care. Highly recommend this place if you want to be treated like more than just a number. Thank you again! 👓👏

I have had such a wonderful experience with Mountain View! They were able to see me immediately for ... an emergency visit on Saturday. All staff have been so helpful and nice. Dr. Ricke was extremely informative and kind and he gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. They have made an otherwise very difficult eye emergency a much more pleasant experience! I will be going there for my future regular eye exams.
