Are you dealing with blurred or warped vision in Minneapolis? Astigmatism could be the reason. At Chu Vision Institute, we offer cutting-edge diagnostic tools and individualized treatments to help you achieve crisp, clear vision—without compromise.
What Is Astigmatism?
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens has an irregular shape, resulting in distorted or fuzzy vision across all distances. It’s a common refractive issue that frequently appears alongside nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Common Signs of Astigmatism
- Visual distortion or blurriness
- Eye fatigue
- Frequent headaches
- Trouble seeing clearly at night
Your Journey to Clear Vision Starts Here: Innovative Treatment Options in Minneapolis
LASIK
Laser-assisted vision correction that gently reshapes the cornea to correct astigmatism. LASIK offers minimal downtime and quick visual improvement.
PRK
An excellent alternative for those who may not qualify for LASIK. PRK provides lasting results and is often recommended for individuals with thinner corneas or active lifestyles.
EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)
This implantable lens is a great option for patients who are not candidates for laser surgery. EVO ICL is removable, long-lasting, and designed to correct astigmatism effectively.
Custom Cataract Surgery
If you’re also experiencing age-related vision decline, we offer premium intraocular lenses that correct both cataracts and astigmatism in one procedure.
