Correct Astigmatism with the help of EyesbrightAstigmatism is a variation of a refractive error of the eye like far and nearsightedness. It causes blurred vision, making it difficult to define small details, either close up or from a distance. Astigmatism is very common and often comes hand in hand with near or farsightedness.
The cause is unknown, but can be easily diagnosed with an exam using a refractive test. However, if you or a child cannot react to a refractive test, refractions of the eye can be measured by a test using reflected light, also known as retinoscopy.
If you suffer from astigmatism your optician will see that the clear tissue covering your eye is abnormally curved. This is what causes your vision to be out of focus.
Treatment
Astigmatism can be easily correct by glasses or contact lenses. However, mild forms of the condition may not necessarily need to be corrected. Laser surgery can also be used to correct astigmatism along with nearsightedness or farsightedness as it can help change the shape of the cornea surface.
Bifocal lenses are the prescription contacts for you
Bifocal contact lenses are the best option for you if you have astigmatism as they can help to correct blurred vision, whilst offering you the freedom from glasses and all the benefits of wearing contact lenses. Bifocals boast a wider lens area, perfect for those who love to sink their teeth into a good book or often work in front of a computer screen.
Clinical research has also shown that bifocals are initially more comfortable than regular GP lenses, are just as easy to insert and remove and require no more care than regular contacts.
Before buying your prescription contact lenses, please ensure they comply with your prescription.
