Are astigmatism contact lenses more difficult to fit?
Every eye with astigmatism is unique; this can make fitting astigmatism contact lenses more difficult and takes more expertise than fitting ordinary soft contact lenses. They are also more complex in design. This can mean that astigmatism contact lenses tend to cost more than a regular contact lens exam and fitting.
Some Scrivens Branches offer Dreamvision contact lenses, which can be used for astigmatism. Dreamvision lenses are unique in the way that they are worn at night and removed in the morning to give clear vision throughout the day, without the need for glasses or contact lenses. They work by moulding the cornea in order to temporarily correct or reduce astigmatism.
If you have any questions or think that astigmatism are right for you, please contact your nearest Scrivens branch and speak to an optician today.
