Astigmatism is a refractive error caused by a misshapen cornea. Instead of rounded, the surface of the cornea is shaped more like an egg or a football. This causes light to focus unevenly on the retina, resulting in an image that looks blurry and stretched out. The condition can be treated with refractive surgery and corrective lenses. If you prefer to avoid surgery but don’t want to wear eyeglasses, you can choose contact lenses.
Read on to learn the different types of contact lenses for astigmatism as well as the factors you should consider before getting contact lenses.
