ACUVUE® OASYS 2-Week Contact Lenses for Astigmatism

Question 1

What's the difference between toric and astigmatism contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Toric contact lenses and atigmatism contact lenses are actually the same—they're contacts designed to provide clear vision for people with astigmatism. Uncorrected astigmatism causes blurry vision and can also cause other symptoms such as eye fatigue, headaches and difficulty seeing at night.See ACUVUE® Toric Lenses

Question 2

What causes astigmatism to worsen?

Accepted Answer

Eye growth during childhood and adolescence can lead to more changes in the corneal shape or curvature of the eye, and since an irregular shape of the cornea or lens is the cause of astigmatism, this can worsen it. Other things that may make astigmatism worse are injuries and certain conditions, such as keratoconus.

Question 3

What does astigmatism look like?

Accepted Answer

What vision looks like with uncorrected astigmatism can differ from person to person. People with uncorrected astigmatism often experience blurry, shadowy, and/or distorted vision. Night time vision can also be difficult, as astigmatism can cause streaky or haloed lights. More About Astigmatism

Question 4

Can astigmatism go away?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes very slight astigmatism goes away on its own, but in most cases, astigmatism is the natural shape of your eye and it will not improve on its own. It can be corrected by contacts or glasses, and eye surgery like LASIK can be one option that permanently changes the shape of your eye, but even after surgery you may still need vision correction.

Question 5

Can I continue using my glasses if I start wearing contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you should still have a pair of glasses even if you choose to get contact lenses so that you have the opportunity to switch between one or the other depending on your needs. For example, some people prefer using glasses in their day-to-day and switch to contacts when they are more active, like in sports. Others prefer wearing contacts full-time, only using glasses as a backup in case of problems.

Question 6

Can you see better with contacts or glasses?

Accepted Answer

There isn't usually a difference in the clarity provided by contacts or glasses, it's more a question of lifestyle. Contacts move in harmony with your eye movements, unlike glasses, so you have your best vision no matter where you look, which can be great for active people or athletes. Glasses may have the problem of obstructing some views with the frame and can fog up in some conditions.
