Do I need to wear astigmatism glasses all the time?

Many people see double when they see things, and they think it is myopia. When they go to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor will tell them that it is astigmatism. Patients with astigmatism not only need to wear myopia glasses, but also astigmatism glasses. Many people think that flash glasses are the same as myopia glasses. People with moderate or above myopia should always wear myopia glasses, so do people with astigmatism also have to wear astigmatism glasses all the time?

Main symptoms of astigmatism

The main symptoms of astigmatism are similar to those of myopia and hyperopia, which will cause the eyes to be unclear when looking at close objects or distant objects, and the clarity of lines is different. The habit of squinting and torticollis caused by astigmatism can easily lead to eye fatigue, temporary blurred vision, forehead headache, and poor vision in dim light and at night. Therefore, the symptoms of astigmatism should be taken seriously by everyone, and we should go to a regular optometry place to have professionals use appropriate methods to correct astigmatism, so as to effectively solve the impact of astigmatism on visual quality.

Astigmatism Key Principles

1. Generally, astigmatism within 50 is physiological, which is also called "regular astigmatism". Astigmatism in this case usually does not require glasses to correct after examination by a professional doctor.

2. Regardless of whether the astigmatism is low or high, it needs to be treated in time, otherwise it will bring new refractive errors to the child, which will affect the visual interference symptoms and make the vision more and more blurred.

3. Astigmatism below 300 degrees is also called "conformal myopic astigmatism". Children, adolescents or those with exotropia should be fully corrected, otherwise it will affect the health of the eyes or cause vision loss. At this time, you can wear glasses with astigmatism, which can effectively reduce the degree of astigmatism.

4. Wearing astigmatism glasses will cause discomfort in the early stages, and sometimes visual distortion and spatial errors may occur. You must be patient and insist on wearing them for a period of time to adapt. Do not put the glasses away for a long time when you feel uncomfortable, otherwise they will not have a corrective effect.

5. For children with astigmatism, teenagers and minors, when wearing astigmatism glasses, they must be fitted with sufficient degrees of astigmatism. This not only makes it comfortable to wear and reduces eyestrain, but also prevents and treats symptoms such as amblyopia and strabismus.
