How you can tell what type of astigmatism you need to treat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Examination: Astigmatism most is due to an oval configuration of the eye treated with a reverse oval in the eyeglasses or contact lenses. A few cases are irregular and can only be treated with contacts. Your ophthalmologist can tell you which kind you have.
