Concord eye doctor

An astigmatism is a common problem in many people and is characterized by an irregularly curved cornea that can cause vision to look blurry or wavy. At Shigio Optometric Group, we can easily correct astigmatisms with corrective eyeglasses, contact lenses or a type of surgery called corneal refractive therapy that our Concord CA eye doctor can perform. Our practice has been providing the Walnut Creek, CA area with professional and excellent eye care for over 40 years.

Corneal refractive therapy reshapes the cornea but requires eyes that are healthy and free from any retinal problems or corneal scars. Also, the eyes need to be free from disease. Using contact lenses that provide the therapeutic eye reshaping, the process is simple and easy, allowing the patient to gently and safely correct their vision. After corneal refractive therapy, many patients find they have a swift improvement in vision, starting after the first couple of days of treatment and over the course of a few weeks after the therapy, achieving their optimum vision. Because astigmatism is a more common eye condition, it can be treated with eyeglasses and contacts lense as well. The more severe the curvature, the more treatment will be required. For more information on this procedure and more, contact our Concord CA eye doctor.

Shigio Optometric Group offers patients a large selection of designer and budget frames and eyeglasses as well. Our contact lens exams can be done in one vision, and we fit hard to fit lenses as well. As us about our revolutionary new eye exam called Optomap. Optomap allows us to produce a high quality image so that we can see the retina in full detail and diagnose conditions that may not have even caused vision loss, or that the patient may have no idea they even have. The exam includes a scan of the eye and a view of the retina, and a permanent record for your individual file.
