You have correction options—some more permanent that others
The way your Eye Care Professional treats or corrects your astigmatism depends on a few factors, like your lifestyle and how severe your astigmatism is. The most common ways that Eye Care Professionals correct astigmatism—with glasses or contact lenses—are not permanent. When you stop wearing your vision correction, you will still experience the visual impact of astigmatism. But there are more permanent options, like laser surgery.

- Contact lenses
- Glasses
- Orthokeratology
- Laser and other refractive surgery
