<\/p>\nWith the myriad of eye problems that people face today, astigmatism is amongst the most common. It is an eye condition that occurs when the cornea or lens has an irregular shape, which can cause blurry or distorted vision. However, this condition can be easily managed with the correct eyewear. Let\u2019s dive into understanding astigmatism better and how to choose the most suitable glasses for this condition.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Astigmatism is an eye condition that is often caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, which is the clear, round dome covering the eye\u2019s iris and pupil, or by the curvature of the eye\u2019s lens. This irregular shape can prevent light from focusing properly on the retina, leading to blurred vision.<\/p>\n
One of the most efficient ways to manage astigmatism is through the use of corrective eyewear like glasses or contact lenses. In some instances, refractive surgery may also be considered.<\/p>\n
When it comes to choosing the correct glasses for astigmatism, the first step is always getting a comprehensive eye examination. This will allow your optometrist to accurately determine the degree of your astigmatism and prescribe the most suitable lenses for you. Most commonly, people with astigmatism will opt for glasses. Whichever glasses lens type you choose opt for anti-reflective coating to help with any distortion or starbursts around lights due to glare. When it comes to frames, it\u2019s crucial to choose those that fit well and provide proper support for your lenses. At Zenni Optical, we offer a wide range of glasses<\/a> from classic designer men\u2019s glasses<\/a> to trendy pink glasses<\/a> that can accommodate a range of lens types.<\/p>\n Some will choose to use contact lenses to correct their astigmatism. There are two options with contact lenses \u2013 spherical and toric.<\/p>\n Spherical lenses have the same degree of curvature over the entire surface of the lens. These are often prescribed for people with mild astigmatism.<\/p>\n Toric lenses have different degrees of curvature over different parts of the lens. This allows the lens to counteract the irregular shape of the cornea or lens in your eye. Toric lenses are typically recommended for moderate to high astigmatism.<\/p>\n Apart from corrective eyewear, it\u2019s also essential to protect your eyes from further harm. If you spend a lot of time in front of a computer, consider investing in our blue light glasses<\/a> to reduce digital eye strain.
