Having astigmatism can make it hard to see clearly at all distances due to the shape of the eye. While regular lenses might not work for astigmatism, there are other types of contacts that can correct your vision. At Dunedin Eye Care in Indianapolis, FL, we provide comprehensive eye exams to learn more about your condition and provide the necessary treatment to improv your vision.
Symptoms of Astigmatism
Astigmatism can make objects that are close and far to appear blurry. Along with that, you may have difficulty with night vision and experience headaches or eye strain. An eye exam can confirm if you have astigmatism, which occurs when your cornea or eye lens is irregularly shaped.
Treatments That Can Correct Astigmatism
Our eye doctor can recommend the necessary treatment to correct astigmatism. Eyeglasses and traditional contact lenses might not be as effective, whether you have lenticular or corneal astigmatism. However, other types of contacts can be beneficial in correcting your vision.
Types of Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
At Dunedin Eye Care, we provide various contact lenses for astigmatism, such as gas rigid gas permeable lenses and toric lenses. Gas permeable lenses may be a good option if you have severe astigmatism. These lenses fit on your cornea and help you see clearly at all distances.
If you have mild astigmatism, though, toric contacts might be more suitable. These soft contact lenses are specially designed for astigmatism. However, before we can provide these lenses, you will need to have a fitting. These lenses need an exact fit in order to correct your vision and provide comfortable wear.
