Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I’m not sure if I have astigmatism or not. I’ve noticed that while taking notes during school I get blurry vision. I look down, write, then look back up at the board, and notice my vision is blurred. It usually takes a few seconds for my eyes to focus again. I also frequently get headaches. I don’t know if that has anything to do with the blurred vision, but it is a symptom of astigmatism. Oh, I forgot to mention that I wear contact lenses, and have never had problems when I wore glasses. Do you think its astigmatism, or just the contacts? Or could it be something else?

Well it could be that there’s too much minus or too litttle plus in your contact lens Rx. Or it could be the way the lenses sit on your eye. Or it could be astigmatism. Or you could be a pseudomyope or a facultative hyperope. Or a muscle balance problem.
Remember, glasses do some things that contacts cannot do.
The doctor will get a feeling about what to do as the examination proceeds.
Let us know how this comes out.
Yeah, I think you do have slight astigmatism. I wear contacts and glasses too and over the years, i’ve noticed the same prob occurring. You might have it in both eyes or in just one. Your doc might change your prescription or give you new glasses or contacts to wear. Just tell him or her exactly what you’re feeling. They should be able to help you out. It isn’t a big deal and you should be fine. Hope this helps somewhat.
The eye Dr will be able to diagnose astigmatism when he/she does the test.
The dr. will tell you but a lot of people have that problem don’t worry your Dr will tell you
