I have astigmatism and I’ve worn toric lenses for about 8 years now. I was so happy to give up my glasses. I recently switched to acuvue for astigmatism and I couldn’t be happier. They don’t dry out your eyes and they are daily so you throw them out when you are done instead of trying to find an over night solution that doesn’t totally inflame your eyes.
Talk to your eye professional about your options. I (even with my extended 2 week contacts) didn’t have burning and tearing. The only time I had any problems was during the spring and fall… allergy season.
There are contacts you can wear and they are priced reasonably too.
cylindrical lens. i have it too and my glasses are helping out. i also use anti allergic eye drop for the teary days. goodluck.
wear cylindrical lenses
going to see an eye doctor
Astigmatism is a vision condition that occurs when the front surface of your eye, the cornea, is slightly irregular in shape. This irregular shape prevents light from focusing properly on the back of your eye, the retina. As a result, your vision may be blurred at all distances.
People with severe astigmatism will usually have blurred or distorted vision, while those with mild astigmatism may experience headaches, eye strain, fatigue or blurred vision at certain distances.
Most people have some degree of astigmatism. A comprehensive optometric examination will include testing to diagnose astigmatism and determine the degree.
Almost all levels of astigmatism can be optically corrected with properly prescribed and fitted eyeglasses and/or contact lenses.
Corneal modification is also a treatment option for some patients.
