Astigmatism lenses
Astigmatism lenses are used to correct astigmatism, a condition caused by an irregular shape or curvature of the cornea, such as being oval or egg-shaped. This irregularity causes light entering the eye to be refracted incorrectly, leading to multiple focal points that do not fall on the retina. As a result, images appear blurry at both near and far distances, and double vision may occur. Astigmatism lenses use cylindrical lenses to correct the uneven curvature and compensate for the refractive error, allowing for clearer vision. For individuals with astigmatism who also have nearsightedness, concave cylindrical lenses are used, while those with farsightedness use convex cylindrical lenses.
When should astigmatism lenses be used?
- Experiencing headaches or dizziness after using your eyes for extended periods
- Eye strain, eye discomfort, and increased sensitivity to light
- Seeing glare or light scatter at night
How do people with astigmatism see differently compared to those with normal vision?
Have you ever heard that having astigmatism can make it difficult to draw straight lines or walk in a straight line? That's a common misconception. The truth is that people with astigmatism only see images less clearly compared to those with normal vision. Astigmatism can be categorized into three types:
-
1. Seeing double images
-
2. Experiencing glare or light scatter at night
-
3. Seeing overlapping shadows in images
