Astigmatism & Presbyopia Treatment in El Paso, TX
Nearsightedness & Farsightedness—Clear Vision for Work, School, and Life
Whether distance is blurry (nearsightedness/myopia) or up-close is a struggle (farsightedness/hyperopia), we’ll explain your prescription in plain language and match you with glasses or contacts that make daily life easier.
What these mean
Nearsightedness (myopia) makes far objects look blurry—road signs, the board at school, or a presentation across the room.
Farsightedness (hyperopia) can make near tasks—phones, labels, reading—feel strained; some people also notice distance blur after close work.
Both are common focusing issues, not diseases—and they’re very fixable with the right lenses.
Symptoms you might notice
Squinting at distance, sitting closer to screens, headaches after reading, eye strain, trouble shifting focus from near to far, or night-driving blur and halos.
How we evaluate (what to expect)
Your exam includes modern refraction to measure focus at different distances, along with eye-health checks to rule out look-alike issues. We’ll show you side-by-side clarity so you can feel the difference the right prescription makes.
Non-surgical ways to see clearly
Glasses
Contact lenses
Not sure which to choose? We’ll ask about school, work, screens, hobbies, and driving—then recommend what fits real life.
Comfort & everyday tips
Use good lighting, take regular screen breaks (20-20-20 rule), and position monitors at arm’s length with the top at or just below eye level. Anti-glare lenses help with night driving and screens. If dryness affects clarity, we’ll evaluate for Dry Eye Treatment and adjust lens materials or wear schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
You might have some questions, here you can find the most common answers, if you don't find what you're looking for please give us a call and we will gladly help you.
Will my prescription keep changing?
It can—especially for students with heavy near work. Regular exams help us keep you comfortable and up to date.
Do I need different glasses for computer work?
Often, yes. Workspace lenses reduce strain for long screen sessions. We’ll advise based on your routine.
Can I wear contacts instead of glasses?
Absolutely. We’ll fit contacts that match your prescription and lifestyle; a Contact Lens Exam includes extra measurements and trial lenses.
Is this related to eye disease?
No—myopia and hyperopia are focusing issues. Your visit still includes a thorough eye-health check.
