Eye diseases and eye problems in children and adults
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common refractive disorder that affects the shape of the cornea or lens. For near and far objects, vision can be blurred because the affected eye does not focus. Astigmatism coexists with both myopia and hyperopia and should be corrected as soon as it is diagnosed. Diagnosing astigmatism in children is difficult because children with astigmatism sometimes do not recognize the ambiguity they need to see as a notification condition. Comprehensive eye exams are needed to make a proper diagnosis and rule out other eye problems.
Treatment
The goal of astigmatism treatment is to improve visual acuity and eye comfort. Treatments are corrective lenses or refractive surgery.
Eyeglasses. Glasses are made with lenses that help replace the asymmetrical shape of your eye. Lenses allow light to tilt your eye correctly. Glasses can also correct other refractive errors such as myopia or hyperopia.
Contact lenses. Some people have better vision with contact lenses instead of glasses. Contact lenses can provide clear vision and panoramic vision. However, since contact lenses are worn directly on the eyes, regular cleaning and care are required to maintain eye health. Regular soft lenses may not be effective in improving astigmatism. Special toric soft contact lenses can be adjusted for a wide variety of astigmatism. Because rigid gas permeable contact lenses maintain their regular shape while on the cornea, they can replace the irregular shape of the cornea and improve vision for people with astigmatism.
