If your vision is blurred at all distances, you may have astigmatism. This condition is the result of having a corneal surface that is irregular in shape, somewhat like a football instead of a more rounded basketball. With astigmatism, the rays of light do not converge into a single point but form two or more focal points. Thus the eye is unable to focus clearly at any distance because of this irregular focusing surface. This causes people to experience blurry or distorted vision.
There are various types of astigmatism including regular, mixed, asymmetric and irregular astigmatism. Corneal topography will define astigmatism in the greatest detail. Patients who have astigmatism should feel comfortable that it is routinely corrected with their nearsightedness or farsightedness at the time of surgery.
Dr. Tylock is committed to providing you with all the information you need to feel comfortable about making the choice to have vision correction surgery.

“They’re not running you through as if there’re a lot of people to see and you can feel like an individual that’s special when you’re there. You feel like it’s all about you and that your needs are going to be met and your questions are going to be answered. It’s just a very professional, professionally run organization.”
- Lori Clifford, M.D.
“After going around to several different ones in the Metroplex… came into Dr. Tylock’s office, they greeted me warmly,… it was fabulous, just a family atmosphere. I came in and realized right then from the cleanliness, and the way they treated me, this was the person to trust.”

“I first began wearing glasses when I was a freshman in high school… I couldn’t see the overhead projector… and then I started having problems seeing when I was playing sports. I just wanted to see 20/20 again without any assistance of contacts or glasses and I was able to do that the first day after the surgery.”
