Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is shaped like a football (more curved in one direction than the other) and often occurs in combination with myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness).
This causes light to focus in more than one point on the retina, resulting in blurry and distorted vision.
It is a very common type of refractive error in the eye, and not a disease.
The doctors at Karlik Ophthalmology can conduct a refractive evaluation to determine whether your eyes focus light rays exactly on the retina.

Blepharitis is an infection of the eyelids.
Some patients call it granulated eyelids.
Almost everyone has some form of blepharitis.
It is caused by bacteria that is part of our normal makeup but then gets out of hand and concentrates on the eyelids and eye.
Blepharitis causes problems for some people but not for others.
Fortunately, blepharitis is relatively easy to treat.
However, it is a chronic condition and needs to be taken care of on an ongoing basis, like brushing or flossing your teeth.

Over fifty percent of people over the age of 60 (and quite a few younger than that) develop cataracts.
Almost everyone will eventually develop cataracts as they grow older.
Cataract formation occurs at different rates in different people, and can affect one, or in most cases, both eyes.
A cataract is a progressive clouding of the eye's natural lens.
It interferes with light passing through the eye to the back of the eye, the retina.
Aging and other factors cause cells in the eye's lens to clump together, forming these cloudy areas.

The cornea is the clear, outer window of the eye.
A corneal abrasion is simply a scratch in the epithelium (skin), or the thin, outer layer of the cornea.
Abrasions usually heal in a short time period, sometimes within hours.
Deeper or larger scratches may take up to a week.
The cornea has a tremendous number of nerve endings, which makes any damage to the cornea very painful.
Only your eye doctor can identify corneal abrasions by examining your eyes with special instruments.
Your doctor will check your eye, including under your eyelid, to make sure there are no foreign materials present.
