Online Astigmatism Test

Check your eyes for signs of astigmatism

Who should take the online astigmatism test?

Anyone can take our online astigmatism test to see if they have signs of astigmatism. Even people that already have vision correction sometimes find out they have uncorrected astigmatism. Keep in mind, this online test is only a screening tool, meaning it is not an official diagnosis. If you want to know for sure whether or not you may have astigmatism, schedule an appointment with your eye doctor.

Take the test if you:

  • Are curious whether or not you may have astigmatism
  • Have vision correction but feel like your vision still isn't crisp
  • Don't have any vision correction but think you might need it
  • Wear glasses and aren't sure if they have astigmatism correction

Understanding astigmatism

Two illustrated eyes side by side, one labeled normal eye and the other astigmatism. The astigmatism eye shows blurry vision.

Don’t let the long, technical name fool you. There's nothing to fear about astigmatism. It’s simply a term used to describe an eye that has a more cylindrical shape than a spherical one. This difference in shape is what affects eyesight. Astigmatism is actually quite common and can be corrected. In fact, about one in three people have it, so it’s more appropriate to call the shape “different” rather than “abnormal.”

What to do if you have astigmatism

Astigmatism is usually very treatable. The way your eye doctor treats or corrects your astigmatism depends on a few factors, like your lifestyle and how severe your astigmatism is. With eyeglasses or contact lenses, astigmatism requires a special kind of lens called a "toric lens" to fully correct your vision. Once your vision is corrected there's nothing left to do but enjoy life with clear vision, but uncorrected astigmatism can make certain things challenging, like driving at night.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

I've been told I have astigmatism. Can I still wear contact lenses?

There are indeed contact lenses made specifically to correct astigmatism. Talk to an eye doctor to find out if contacts can be a good fit for your vision problems, and if so, they may prescribe you some. For now, browse ACUVUE contacts for astigmatism to see what options we offer.

What causes astigmatism to worsen?

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.

What does astigmatism look like?

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

Can astigmatism go away?

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.

Can a person have both myopia and astigmatism?

Yes, you can have both myopia and astigmatism, and in fact, it’s quite common. If your eye doctor determines this is the case for you, they may prescribe toric eyeglasses or contacts, which can correct both at the same time.  

How to fix astigmatism naturally?

There is no evidence that you can “fix” astigmatism naturally. Even eye exercises that some people claim can help improve astigmatism have not been proven in scientific studies.  

Footnotes

Johnson & Johnson does not provide medical advice. This test is not a diagnostic tool, and does not replace a professional eye exam from a licensed eyecare professional. Consult your eye doctor with any questions.

#Helps protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye.
WARNING: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your eye care practitioner for more information.

Important Information for Contact Lens Wearers: ACUVUE® Contact Lenses are available by prescription only for vision correction. An eye care professional will determine whether contact lenses are right for you. Although rare, serious eye problems can develop while wearing contact lenses. To help avoid these problems, follow the wear and replacement schedule and the lens care instructions provided by your eye doctor. Do not wear contact lenses if you have an eye infection, or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems. If one of these conditions occurs, remove the lens and contact your eye doctor immediately. For more information on proper wear, care and safety, talk to your eye care professional, call 1-800-843-2020, or download the Patient Instruction Guides.
