Say Goodbye to Blurred & Distorted Vision

(904) 387-5704

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 Fulghum Optometry in Lakeshore 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, Fulghum Optometry in Lakeshore 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 had a pleasant experience. My first time seeing an optometrist in nearly 10 years. Staff was kind ... & informative. Gave me my first pair of glasses. Much better than when I went to Florida eye specialist. They acted like they didn’t care to help.

I give 5 stars plus to Fulghum Optometry. I’ve been a patient at Fulghum Optometry since 1987. S... ince day 1, I’ve been given 5 stars plus service. Thank you to Dr. Nason for taking a closer look at the floater and making sure that my eye is okay. Thank you to Paula for taking care of me today. Looking forward to my next eye exam. Thank you to Jeff for discussing my contact lens options and rebates.

Dr. Nason and the front desk staff are incredible. I came in with Facial Paralysis, and not being ab... le to close my eye due to Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. Not only does Dr. Nason have unparalleled knowledge and expertise, his patience, communicative ability, and ability to work with me through this difficult time is truly great. Dr. Nason was willing to talk to me after hours, and helped me during ongoing blurry vision issues. When my insurance wasn't working (we just moved to Florida), Dr. Nason took care of me financially. My family and I have been so thankful for this business and Dr. Nason. It is rare that someone with such ability and skill is also a very nice person, and truly CARES about the patient. We have never experienced this level of care.

I had an appointment with Dr Mason on 6.23.25, for a second opinion. I have had 3 different types of... glasses made from my current Optomologist and my vision is blurry. Dr Mason's examination was very thorough and extensive. During his testing I could see so clear and it felt so good. I will be coming back to Dr Mason in the future. I was very impressed with his entire office. Dr Mason is very nice and so knowledgeable and thorough.....very impressed. Gabby was awesome as well as Jeff. They were both very kind, knowledgeable and thorough in their areas of expertise. The office is also very nice and the location is in a great fun area.
