How Astigmatism

Affects Vision

Astigmatism is a common eye condition where the cornea or lens has an irregular shape, leading to blurred or distorted vision. This irregularity causes light entering the eye to focus unevenly, making objects appear out of focus at various distances. Astigmatism can occur along with nearsightedness or farsightedness, adding further challenges to vision clarity.

For those with astigmatism, standard contact lenses may not provide adequate vision correction. Specialty contact lenses, such as toric or scleral lenses, are designed to address the unique needs of individuals with astigmatism, offering more precise alignment and clearer vision than standard options.

Types of Specialty Contacts for Astigmatism

For individuals with astigmatism, specialty contact lenses offer an effective solution when standard lenses aren’t sufficient. Toric lenses, for instance, are uniquely shaped to align with the natural curvature of the eye, correcting astigmatism more accurately. Unlike standard contacts, toric lenses have different powers in various areas of the lens, allowing them to provide precise vision correction.

Scleral lenses are another excellent option for those with severe astigmatism or irregular corneas. These larger lenses cover more of the eye's surface, creating a smooth, stable surface that enhances both vision and comfort. Scleral lenses vault over the cornea, resting on the sclera (the white part of the eye), making them especially beneficial for individuals with high levels of astigmatism or corneal irregularities like keratoconus. By providing a more stable surface, scleral lenses help improve vision clarity and reduce discomfort, offering a tailored solution for challenging eye conditions.

At Kleinwood Vision, specialty contact lens evaluations allow patients to explore options like toric and scleral lenses, helping them find the best fit and most comfortable solution for their vision needs.

Toric Lenses for Astigmatism

Toric lenses are specially designed to correct astigmatism, with a unique shape that helps them fit securely on the eye. These lenses are crafted to rotate slightly, aligning with the irregular curvature of the cornea for more accurate vision correction. Available in both soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP) materials, toric lenses offer flexibility in terms of comfort and vision needs, allowing for customization based on individual preferences.

For many individuals with mild to moderate astigmatism, toric lenses provide a convenient and effective solution, offering clear, stable vision for daily wear.

Kleinwood Vision’s toric lens fitting services ensure that each patient receives lenses that are tailored to their specific prescription and lifestyle. With the right fit, toric lenses can greatly enhance comfort and clarity throughout the day, making them an excellent choice for those seeking reliable and effective astigmatism correction.

Toric lenses are designed to stay stable on the eye, preventing any rotation that could disrupt vision. This is a crucial feature for individuals with astigmatism, as even slight movement of the lens can lead to blurry or distorted vision. The stability of toric lenses ensures consistent, clear vision throughout the day, offering an effective solution for those with this condition.

At Kleinwood Vision, our optometrists provide comprehensive toric lens fittings to ensure both comfort and optimal vision correction. During an initial consultation, your eye doctor will assess your specific needs, evaluating factors such as the shape of your eye, your level of astigmatism, and lifestyle requirements. Based on this assessment, the team will help you choose the most appropriate toric lens design, whether soft or rigid gas permeable (RGP), to ensure it fits securely and provides consistent vision correction. Kleinwood Vision’s personalized fitting process guarantees that you will enjoy comfortable, stable, and clear vision, enhancing your daily experience with minimal adjustments needed. With the right toric lenses, you can confidently manage your astigmatism and enjoy improved visual clarity.

Scleral Lenses for Complex Cases

For those with more severe astigmatism or additional corneal issues, scleral lenses can provide a stable, comfortable option. These large-diameter lenses rest on the sclera, creating a tear-filled vault over the cornea that can correct irregularities and reduce discomfort.

Scleral lenses offer exceptional stability and comfort, especially for individuals with high astigmatism or corneal conditions like keratoconus. At Kleinwood Vision, scleral lens fittings are available to help patients achieve clear, stable vision even in complex cases.

Choosing the Right Contact Lenses

Selecting the right contact lenses is crucial for both comfort and visual clarity. At Kleinwood Vision, a comprehensive contact lens exam takes into account your eye shape, astigmatism level, and lifestyle to help determine the best lens option for you.

During the exam, your optometrist will evaluate your specific vision needs and guide you through the available options.

Specialty Lens Fitting at Kleinwood Vision.

Finding the right specialty contact lenses involves precise measurements and a thorough fitting process to ensure the best possible vision correction and comfort. At Kleinwood Vision, a specialty lens fitting begins with evaluating your eye shape, including detailed measurements of corneal curvature and assessing the degree of astigmatism. These steps are essential for choosing the right lenses, whether toric or scleral, and ensuring they fit properly.

Toric lenses are designed to correct astigmatism, but they require careful alignment and orientation to prevent rotation, which can cause blurry or distorted vision. Scleral lenses, which are larger and designed for more severe cases of astigmatism or corneal irregularities, need to fit precisely over the cornea and rest on the sclera to provide comfort and stability. A poor fit can lead to discomfort or dryness, so it's important that the fitting process is meticulous.

Kleinwood Vision’s specialty contact lens exams involve a personalized fitting process, where the optometrist checks the comfort and clarity of each lens. Adjustments are made as necessary to ensure optimal vision correction and a comfortable fit. Additionally, during the fitting process, your optometrist will provide guidance on lens maintenance and best practices for care to help you adapt to your new lenses.

At Kleinwood Vision, we prioritize your comfort and clarity, ensuring that each specialty lens is tailored to your unique needs. With our expertise and attention to detail, you can enjoy clear, comfortable vision with the right lenses for you.

Caring for Specialty Lense

Proper care of specialty contact lenses is crucial for maintaining clear vision and preventing irritation. Scleral lenses, for instance, require specific cleaning solutions to ensure they remain in optimal condition, while toric lenses need daily cleaning to prevent buildup and maintain comfort.
