Can I get glasses just for astigmatism? |
I have very bad astigmatism, and it's worsened 70% since last year. I went to the optometrist and tried on 16 pairs of astigmatism lenses, but none properly fit my eyes. I could order custom-make astigmatism lenses, but those cost TWICE as much! So, I was wondering if I could just wear my Acuvue2 contacts and occassionally (classroom, driving) wear a pair of glasses over them to correct the astigmatism. Is this possible? Do they make glasses just for astigmatism (without also having them be for nearsightedness/farsightedness)? They will not fill part of a prescription.... You either need contact lenses or glasses with your prescription in them. idk but i have a astigmatism and i have nearsightedness/farsightedness Yes I have astigmatism in one eye and I have glasses for that. yeah, I think they do. Glasses can correct astigmatisms alone. I guess it is possible that you can get contacts and use the glasses to get better correction, but you will have to consult with your eye doc to get more information on this. Obviously, if you are wearing contacts and glasses at the same time, the glasses would have a different prescription than the one that you would have when you would have if you were just wearing glasses all the time. However, it may not be advisable to do it that way--that's why you need to get back in touch with your eye doc. |
