Astigmatism Contact Lenses

Have you noticed that your vision seems a little blurry? Do you have to squint to read street signs or see screens clearly? If so, it may be time for an updated eye exam and new glasses or contacts. If you live in the Linstead, Jamaica or Kingston, Jamaica areas, visit AB Vision Eye Care for professional optometry services.

Schedule an Eye Exam

Start by booking a comprehensive eye exam with our ophthalmologist near you at AB Vision Eye Care. During your appointment, the eye doctor will check your vision with a series of tests. Our doctor will have you look through different lenses and read letters on a chart. The ophthalmologist will also examine the inner workings of your eyes. Our doctor will look for signs of eye diseases and check for astigmatism or nearsightedness. This helps them determine if prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses can help improve your blurry vision.

Understanding Astigmatism

If the tests show you have astigmatism, do not worry, it is a common vision problem. With astigmatism, your cornea is slightly irregular in shape. This prevents light from properly focusing on your retina, making objects look distorted or blurry. But vision correction options like toric contact lenses can help.

Our ophthalmologist will prescribe custom contact lenses made for your unique astigmatism. These special lenses help properly focus light into your eyes. Contact lenses often provide crisper, sharper vision than eyeglasses for people with astigmatism.

Caring for Your Contacts

Be sure to follow our ophthalmologist’s instructions for inserting, removing, and disinfecting your astigmatism contacts. Use the recommended contact lens solution to clean and store your lenses. Never sleep in your contacts unless they are specifically designed for extended overnight wear.

Schedule regular eye exams at AB Vision Eye Care even when wearing contacts. The eye doctor will check that your prescription is still accurate, and your eyes remain healthy. Proper contact lens hygiene and regular optometry visits are key to clear, comfortable vision.
