Things About Astigmatism And Contact Lens
Astigmatism is an eye ailment whose effect is blurred vision. It is caused by the non-symmetry between the shape of the cornea and the lens of the eye. The cornea should be round but instead it’s shaped like a football resulting to blurred vision. In astigmatism, there are different curvatures in the different medians of the eye.An optometrist who also helped people with laser surgery consultancy provided the details below.
Based on myopia and hyperopia, there are five types of astigmatism. Simple myopic astigmatism is a condition wherein one meridian is nearsighted and the other is functioning free of any impairments. Compound myopic astigmatism is where both meridians are myopic yet one meridian has much graver symptoms of nearsightedness. Simple hyperopic astigmatism is wherein one meridian is farsighted while the other is free of any ailments. Compound hyperopic astigmatism is a condition where both meridians are farsighted, yet one has a worse case than the other. Mixed astigmatism deals with both meridians having opposite effects, one is myopic, the other hyperopic. Treatment of astigmatism through contact lenses is now available these days. Astigmatism contact lens is called “toric” contacts.. They are made from same material as regular contact lenses; so they can be either soft or regular gas permeable. Toric lenses have two purpose, one is treatment for astigmatism while the other is to fix nearsightedness or farsightedness.
