Conditions Treated at Empire Eye Physicians
Astigmatism
The inability to focus clearly at any distance
How your eye treats light rays as they enter the eye determines if you have normal eyesight. If your eye doesn’t bend or refract light properly, then you may experience problems with your vision.
Astigmatism describes the inability to focus clearly at any distance. Light rays enter the eye through a misshapen cornea, which causes light to focus at different points away from the retina. Astigmatism may be combined with myopia and hyperopia.

It’s like a whole new world
"Thank you, Empire Eye Physicians. I thought I could see colors, but as I got older I didn’t knowI was painting brighter and brighter. After cataractsurgery, it’s like a whole new world! Like being blind and now you can see."
– Christina, Artist/Cataract Surgery Patient
