subject: How To Cope With Astigmatism? [print this page] In normal conditions, our eyes are like round balls, and if they change in shape, we will suffer from some eye problems. For example, when they like eggs, we suffer from astigmatism. As for the feature of astigmatism, glasses manufacturers have designed toric contacts, for both myopia and hyperopia with astigmatism.
The structure of toric contacts is different from others. For this contact must be fixed while eyeballs are moving. Up-down, blinking and other movements will be well coordinated.
There are also many toric contacts for people with astigmatism in the market. Soft, and Rigid Gas Permeable lenses, contacted are very typical and ideal alternatives for astigmatism sufferers. There are also color contacts, too. Additionally, people like to wear soft toric contacts for their convenience and comfort and wearers of such contacts can always keep their corneas in shape.
For some people, they are not suggested to wear rigid gas-permeable, for these contacts may drop off on some occasions, especially when people have to do some sports. RGP contacts are much better than toric contacts for people with mild astigmatism.
Sometimes, people may not suffer from eye problems in both eyes, but one. In that case, multi-focal toric contacts are nice choice for them.
Genetically, astigmatism can be inherited from parents. But the symptom will not appear until it comes to some stages, especially when people work under great pressure. Some people have noticed this, while others have not. But there is always a solution for this problem- wearing toric contacts.
Wearers find that, compared with other contacts, toric contacts are much better in vision correction. But these contacts are really very expensive. This reason is the manufacturing costs of these contacts are much higher than ordinary ones.
