Astigmatism Glasses

Published on February 10, 2011

Glasses are the easiest way to correct for uncomplicated astigmatism. Glasses with toric lenses are specially made to correct for the patient's corneal irregularity. When the patient also has nearsightedness or other eye problems, a single pair of glasses can be made to correct for everything at once.

Only your opthalmologist can determine which type of glasses for astigmatism will work best for you. If you have a complicated case of astigmatism, you may need to try several different types of glasses before finding the right one for your eyes.
