In a nutshell, astigmatism is the inability of the cornea to properly focus an image on the retina. The result is blurred vision. In your efforts to overcome the blurred vision you can put strain on the eyes resulting in headaches and eye fatigue.

So what causes the cornea to improperly focus? Well a non-astigmatic eye has a spherical shape similar to a baseball, while astigmatic eye has a shape more similar to a football. The irregular shape of the astigmatic eye causes different focal points which can result in either myopia (short sightedness), hypermetropia or hyperopia (long sightedness). I will discuss these two conditions in more detail later.

Now you know what causes the astigmatism, I bet you are asking how can I treat this problem. The solution is fairly simple. Toric Contact Lenses have been specially developed to treat astigmatism. Here are some of the more popular toric contact lenses ACUVUE Advance for Astigmatism, ACUVUE TORIC, Biomedics Toric, CSI Toric (MTO), Cooper Toric, Vertex (Encore) Toric, Focus Toric , Freshlook Toric, Frequency 55 Toric , Optima Toric and Soflens 66 Toric.

What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia also known as "old eye" is the inability of the eye to focus on near objects due to a natural loss of flexibility in the natural lens of the eye. This condition is age related and usually develops in your 40’s.

The symptoms are similar to those in astigmatism, i.e. blurred vision, headaches, eye strain and eye fatigue.
