I need better lenses for my astigmatism.
I have severe astigmatism and still can’t achieve clear vision with regular lenses. Do you know if there’s a special type of lens made specifically for astigmatism?
Impact of Severe Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a condition where blurred vision results from an irregular curvature of the eye’s internal lens.
Objects may appear blurry or dim at both near and far distances, and the eyes are unable to focus clearly on any specific point.
Are glasses for people with severe astigmatism hard to wear?
If you have severe astigmatism, you might assume it’s impossible to find lenses that are both clear and comfortable to wear.
With high astigmatism, objects may appear darker or blurrier, leading to visual discomfort or eye fatigue.
To make glasses easier to adapt to, eye care professionals sometimes prescribe lenses with slightly reduced cylinder power.
While this approach helps improve comfort, it doesn’t completely eliminate the blur or dimness — meaning some reduction in visual clarity may be necessary.
Solutions / Improvements
Use lenses specifically designed for astigmatism to ensure visual comfort and a more pleasant wearing experience.
