What Optometry Conditions Does Loyola Treat?

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a common ocular condition characterized by an irregularly shaped or football-shaped cornea or curved eye lens. Most people have subtle forms of astigmatism and it is a hereditary condition that can affect both adults and children.

Farsightedness

Farsightedness is an ocular condition characterized by the ability to see far objects more clearly than you can see close objects. Farsightedness is common and can affect both children and adults. However, symptoms may become more noticeable with age.

Nearsightedness

Nearsightedness is one of the most common ocular conditions that occurs when your eye is too long, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on the retina. If you have nearsightedness, you have problems seeing things far away but can see normally up close.
