Eyeglasses are a good option for correcting astigmatism. They help to correct the irregular curve of your cornea and allow your retina to focus properly. Your optometrist will determine your glasses prescription so you can buy glasses to correct the astigmatism. Go to an eyeglasses store and try on glasses in person. Make sure the glasses feel comfortable when they sit on your nose and that they complement, rather than overwhelm, your face. You should feel confident when you wear them. If you want to buy eyeglasses online, you will need your prescription. Use a virtual try-on tool to see how the glasses will look on your face before you order them. Some eyeglass companies will offer to send you free samples of their frames so you can find the right one for you. Spray an eyeglass cleaner on the lenses and wipe them down with a smooth, dry cloth. Clean your glasses once a day, or several times a day, so your vision is not obscured by dust or dirt when you wear them. Keep your glasses in good condition by getting the screws in the arms tightened when needed. Your glasses should always sit flush against the sides of your face, with the arms on the glasses straight and even. Store your eyeglasses in a hard shell case to protect them and keep them in good repair. To correct astigmatism, you will need special toric contact lenses, rather than standard contact lenses. They are a good option if you don't like wearing glasses all the time and you are comfortable putting contact lenses in your eye. Your optometrist may recommend contact lenses if you play a lot of sports or are very active and do not want to have to worry about wearing eyeglasses. Children 12 years and older can wear contact lenses. However, they may need the help of a parent to put them in. Wash your hands and then remove the contact from the case. Place it on your index finger. Pull your upper and lower eyelids away from your eye with the other hand. Carefully place the contact on your eye. Release your eyelid and blink to keep the contact in place. If you have trouble putting in the contact lenses, speak to your optometrist for guidance. It may take some practice to get the hang of it. Use a hard shell case to store the contact lenses and keep them in specialized cleaning solution. Look for cleaning solution made specifically for contact lenses at a medical supply store or online. Replace the cleaning solution every time you use the lenses so they stay clean. Get a new hard shell case every 3 months to ensure the lenses do not get dirty.
