Hydrasoft Toric 1 Contact - Astigmatism and Treatment
So you have been to the eye doctor and you were diagnosed with astigmatism. Your eye doctor recommended the hydrasoft toric 1 contact. But you do not know exactly what astigmatism is, nor do you know anything about the hydrasoft toric 1 contact lens. Let me help by first explaining what astigmatism is and then by explaining what options are out there for treating astigmatism. No matter what your diagnosis is you should never jump on the first treatment you see. Always investigate first, then decide.
What is astigmatism?
With astigmatism the cornea of the eye is in an oval shape. It resembles a football instead of a basketball. Many of the astigmatic corneas have not one, but two curves. One curve is steeper and one is flatter. Due to the curvatures light is able to focus in on more than one point which causes either blurry vision at a distance or blurry vision close up.
There is really only one symptom that accompanies astigmatism. The symptom is blurry vision.
What are the treatment options for astigmatism?
There are three options for treating astigmatism. One option is glasses. The second option is contacts, such as the hydrasoft toric 1 contact lenses. Another option is surgery. Each option has its pros and cons.
Glasses are a viable option. You can choose from a huge variety of frames. Glasses are the most inexpensive route to go in treating astigmatism. The downside to glasses is that you have to remember to put them on everyday. Another downside is that glasses are sometimes difficult to keep up with as they are easy to take off and set down somewhere when they become uncomfortable. They are also easily broken if they are dropped, sat on, or stepped on accidentally.
The hydrasoft toric 1 contact, the dura soft ii optifit contact, or any other toric contact is a viable option also. Toric contacts are worn just like other contacts, right on the eye. They are made with a special component that keeps them stable as you blink and move your eye. They are available as disposables or you can get some that you can wear for thirty nights and days. The downside to contact lenses is that when you have an eye infection you can not wear them. Also, in the long run, contact lenses can get expensive as you have to replace them every so often.
The third option is surgery. The positive side to surgery is that you do not have to worry about keeping up with glasses or contacts. The down side is the cost as well as the risks that go with any surgery.
