What is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea bulges or is oval-shaped, resulting in blurred vision. Although the exact cause of this irregularity is unknown, genetics and eye injury are often factors. Some people are born with astigmatism, and others develop it over time.

If you do not have regular eye exams, you may not know if you have astigmatism. Symptoms include blurred vision, difficulty seeing fine details, headaches, eyestrain, and eye discomfort. These symptoms are particularly noticeable when reading or looking at a computer screen for prolonged periods.

How Contact Lenses Can Help Correct Astigmatism

Regular contact lenses cannot adjust to this irregularity, but toric lenses can give you a customized fit. They are designed to align with the bulge and will not rotate on the eye. Although toric lenses cost more than traditional contact lenses, they are worth the extra expense for many.
