Astigmatism Explained: You Don't Have to Live with Blur

What is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens isn't perfectly round, like a basketball, but shaped more like a football. This causes light to focus on multiple points in the eye, leading to blurred or distorted vision at all distances.

When Soft Contacts Aren't Enough

Standard soft contact lenses can correct mild astigmatism, but they often rotate or fluctuate in vision quality for those with higher or irregular prescriptions.

The Scleral Lens Solution

Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas-permeable lenses that vault over the entire cornea and rest on the white of the eye. This creates a new, perfectly smooth optical surface that masks the irregularity of your natural cornea.

Why Choose Specialty Lenses?

• Stability: They don't rotate or dislodge easily.
• Comfort: The liquid reservoir between the lens and eye keeps it hydrated.
• Clarity: They provide optics superior to standard glasses or soft contacts.
