Astigmatism is a common vision condition that causes blurry or distorted vision at all distances. It occurs when the cornea or lens of the eye has an irregular shape, which prevents light rays from properly focusing on the retina. At Bay Optical Group in Glen Falls and Saratoga Springs, NY, we provide various options, such as contact lenses, to help you see clearly. Before visiting us, learn how contacts can be effective for astigmatism below:

Benefits of Contact Lenses for Astigmatism

Contact lenses offer several benefits for individuals with astigmatism. They provide clear vision and a wider field of view compared to glasses. Contact lenses are also convenient for individuals who participate in sports or for exercise since they don’t slip or fog up.

Types of Contact Lenses for Astigmatism

There are various types of contact lenses available for those with astigmatism, including soft toric lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. Soft toric lenses are made of flexible materials that conform to the shape of the eye and provide comfort. RGP lenses, on the other hand, provide sharper vision by maintaining their shape on the eye's surface.

Customized Fitting and Prescription

Before providing contacts, our optometrists will provide a lens fitting. We will conduct a comprehensive eye exam to determine the exact prescription and fit of the lenses. A customized fitting ensures the contacts fit comfortably and offer clear vision. We can also assist with the insertion and removal process and schedule follow-up appointments to make sure the lenses are effective.
