Can I Wear Contact Lenses If I Have Astigmatism?

Yes — many people with astigmatism wear contact lenses successfully. The key is choosing the right lens type and getting a proper fit from an optometrist.

What is astigmatism?

Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregular shape in your cornea or lens. This shape affects how light enters your eye, leading to blurry or distorted vision.

What lenses work best for astigmatism?

Toric soft lenses are most common. Some patients may benefit from rigid gas permeable (RGP), hybrid, or scleral lenses depending on the complexity.

Do I need a special fitting?

Yes. Lenses must align correctly with your eye to stay stable and deliver clear vision. Our fittings ensure rotation and comfort are optimized.
