If you have astigmatism, you may be wondering if you can still wear regular colored contact lenses for cosmetic purposes. The short answer is: it depends on the severity of your astigmatism. Astigmatism is a common vision condition that occurs when the front surface of the eye, called the cornea, is slightly irregular in shape. This can cause blurry vision at all distances and is typically corrected with glasses or contact lenses. If you have mild astigmatism, you may be able to wear regular colored contact lenses without any issues. These lenses are designed to correct distance vision and do not take into account any astigmatism you may have. However, if you have a high level of astigmatism, regular colored contacts may not provide adequate vision correction. In this case, we recommend wearing toric lenses, which are specifically designed to correct astigmatism. These lenses have two powers - one for distance vision and one for astigmatism - and are able to provide clearer vision for those with higher levels of astigmatism. If you're unsure whether regular colored contacts are suitable for your level of astigmatism, it's best to consult with your eye doctor. They can help you determine the best type of lens for your vision needs and ensure that you have the most comfortable and effective fit possible.
