A member asked:
Do i need to wear glasses all the time if i have astigmatism (bad astigmatism)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why not contacts or : Contact lenses can treat high degrees of astigmatism as can toric intraocular lens implants. A specialist in astigmatic contact lens fitting may be needed. Clear lens extraction with a toric intraocular lens is controversial.
