Question 1

I've been told I have astigmatism. Can I still wear contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

There are indeed contact lenses made specifically to correct astigmatism. Talk to an eye doctor to find out if contacts can be a good fit for your vision problems, and if so, they may prescribe you some. For now, browse ACUVUE contacts for astigmatism to see what options we offer.

Question 2

What causes astigmatism to worsen?

Accepted Answer

Eye growth during childhood and adolescence can lead to more changes in the corneal shape or curvature of the eye, and since an irregular shape of the cornea or lens is the cause of astigmatism, this can worsen it. Other things that may make astigmatism worse are injuries and certain conditions, such as keratoconus.

Question 3

What does astigmatism look like?

Accepted Answer

What vision looks like with uncorrected astigmatism can differ from person to person. People with uncorrected astigmatism often experience blurry, shadowy, and/or distorted vision. Night time vision can also be difficult, as astigmatism can cause streaky or haloed lights.More about Astigmatism

Question 4

Can astigmatism go away?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes very slight astigmatism goes away on its own, but in most cases, astigmatism is the natural shape of your eye and it will not improve on its own. It can be corrected by contacts or glasses, and eye surgery like LASIK can be one option that permanently changes the shape of your eye, but even after surgery you may still need vision correction.

Question 5

Can a person have both myopia and astigmatism?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can have both myopia and astigmatism, and in fact, it’s quite common. If your eye doctor determines this is the case for you, they may prescribe toric eyeglasses or contacts, which can correct both at the same time.

Question 6

How to fix astigmatism naturally?

Accepted Answer

There is no evidence that you can “fix” astigmatism naturally. Even eye exercises that some people claim can help improve astigmatism have not been proven in scientific studies.
