Astigmatism Diagnosis and Treatment
Are your eyes tired, your vision blurry, or your glasses never quite right?
Eye Care Center LTD uses advanced tools to accurately diagnose and treat astigmatism with precision lenses or specialty contacts.
What Is Astigmatism and How Is It Treated?
Astigmatism is a common condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, leading to distorted or blurred vision at all distances. It’s easily treatable with the right correction.
Astigmatism can cause blurry vision and make tasks like reading and driving challenging. At Eye Care Center LTD in Addison and Burbank, IL, we provide eye exams to learn more about your condition and treatment to help you see more clearly. Prior to visiting us, learn about some causes and symptoms of astigmatism below:
Symptoms of Astigmatism
If you have astigmatism, you may experience a variety of symptoms. Some of these symptoms include:
- Blurry vision
- Eye strain
- Headaches
- Increased glare
- Squinting to see objects clearly
- Halos around lights
Benefits of Astigmatism Treatment
Astigmatism affects how light enters your eye, causing it to focus unevenly on the retina. This can result in headaches, blurry vision, or discomfort, especially while reading or using screens. At Eye Care Center LTD, we diagnose astigmatism using autorefractors, keratometry, and digital eye mapping. Depending on severity and lifestyle, we may recommend glasses, toric soft contacts, or RGP/scleral lenses for best results.
- Sharpens blurry or distorted vision
- Personalized glasses or toric contact lenses
- Specialty lens options for high astigmatism
- Prevents squinting and eyestrain
- Safe for children and adults
🧠 Mind-Blowing Astigmatism Stat
Over 33% of the U.S. population — more than 100 million people — have some degree of astigmatism.
Even more surprising? Many don’t even realize they have it — it’s one of the most underdiagnosed vision issues because symptoms like headaches, eye strain, or blurry vision can seem unrelated.

Causes of Astigmatism
Astigmatism can occur when your eye has a steeper curvature than normal, which affects how light bends when it enters your eye and cause blurry vision at any distance. In many cases, an irregularly shaped cornea causes astigmatism. However, it can also be inherited or develop due to cataracts or eye injuries.Diagnosing Astigmatism
Astigmatism can often be diagnosed with an eye exam. Our eye doctor will typically check your visual acuity and do a refraction test. You might also have other tests done, such as keratometry to measure the shape of your cornea or a slit lamp test to check different parts of your eye. After confirming that you have astigmatism, we can discuss treatments with you.Treatment for Astigmatism
What treatments are available for astigmatism? For mild cases, prescription lenses might not be needed. However, if the condition interferes with your daily activities, you can wear prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses for improved vision. Our eye doctor might also recommend specialty contact lenses, depending on the severity of your condition. Along with that, we may suggest cataract surgery if you are experiencing vision problems due to cataracts.

Had a wonderful experience at Eye Care Center
Nour, once again gave me great service. I've known and have had the pleasure of Nour's assistance for a couple of years now. She helped me pick out new frames for my glasses. Can't wait to see them when they are ready. Thanks again for all your help!

Would recommend Dr. Jenna Bacerra to anyone of all ages! Previous eye doctors at corporate chains rushed through my eye exam but Dr. Bacerra described everything with great attention. My time went past 5 because I had so many questions but my dr. and the sweet lady that helped me with my paperwork reassured me it was okay 🙂
Response from the owner 03:22 28 Aug 25

Customer Beware! This place is a total scam. They lie to you about your insurance to force you into paying a ton out of pocket and at the same time double bill your insurance for the same services that you just paid out of pocket.
Update:
I spoke to the owner. It was a great call. Definitely miscommunication which led to confusion and red flags. Eye Care center is not a scam. I remain a customer of Eye Care Center and look forward to continuing to use them for my eye care needs in the future.
Note: I have updated my rating from one star to four stars based on factors I believe justified my rating change.

My first visit to eyecare center was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, to the moment I left,care was outstanding. I'm a disabled veteran. I appreciate the time they took to explain everything to me. Although I received bad news, I left with a feeling of hope. Thank you!

The entire appointment was great. The office is located in a mall. Easy to find and plenty of parking. I was seen by the Med-tech as soon as we arrived. He was very kind and professional. As soon as the tech was finished his testing I went to see the DR. DR Albina was wonderful. He totally knew my vision situation and spoke to both my wife and I. It was a refreshing experience because he, in just a few minutes knew exactly what I have be dealing with for almost 40 years. He is going to stay in contact with me even though this was a one time visit set up by Veterans Evaluation Services. I highly recommend DR. Albina!
