What are your next steps?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/what-is-astigmatism\">Astigmatism<\/a> refers to an uneven curvature of the eye\u2019s cornea (or, less commonly, its lens). Because the slope of the cornea is irregular, light rays aren\u2019t refracted normally in an eye with astigmatism. Instead, light gets scattered into multiple focal points by the uneven cornea, which can cause blurry vision, poor eyesight at night, eye strain, and other symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chances are, treating your astigmatism will improve both your vision and your quality of life. You have a few different treatment options, but the most common one is simple, affordable, and stylish: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/eyeglasses\">glasses<\/a>. (<a href=\"\/learn\/contacts-with-astigmatism\">Contact lenses can also correct astigmatism<\/a>\u2014but that\u2019s a topic for another article!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read on to understand how glasses correct astigmatism and which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/types-of-glasses\">types of glasses<\/a> are best suited for the job.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-glasses-help-astigmatism\">Can Glasses Help Astigmatism?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, glasses can correct astigmatism and dramatically clarify your eyesight. Glasses for astigmatism are fitted with corrective cylindrical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/eyeglasses\/lenses\">lenses<\/a> that help to properly refract light onto the retina of the eye. They\u2019re prescribed and calibrated to match the exact nature of your astigmatism (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aao.org\/eye-health\/ask-ophthalmologist-q\/is-astigmatism-always-bilateral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">which may not be the same in both eyes!<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These prescription lenses counteract the effects of having an uneven cornea\u2014and some of them can correct for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/what-is-myopia\">nearsightedness<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/what-is-farsightedness\">farsightedness<\/a>, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-astigmatism-affect-your-glasses-prescription\">How Does Astigmatism Affect Your Glasses Prescription?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you have astigmatism, you\u2019ll see a few additional numbers on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/how-to-read-eye-prescription\">glasses prescription<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CYL: <\/strong>The number in this column refers to the lens power needed to correct your astigmatism. CYL is short for \u201ccylinder\u201d\u2014due to the irregular shape of the cornea, glasses for astigmatism need cylindrical and not spherical lenses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Axis: <\/strong>The number in this column refers to the orientation of your astigmatism correction, measured in degrees. It will always be between 1 and 180.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll always see CYL and Axis numbers together on a prescription\u2014you can\u2019t have one part without the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><!-- .entry-content (split for inline block) -->\n\n<section class=\"wp-blocks__banner has-img white\">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/phoropter-cta.jpg\" alt=\"Your eyes will thank you\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-blocks__banner-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Your eyes will thank you<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<p>Experiencing astigmatism symptoms?

If you see halos, starburst patterns, or blurriness around lights at night, then wearing glasses should eliminate or dramatically reduce these distortions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(See what these distortions can look like here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/astigmatism-lights\">Astigmatism and Lights: How Astigmatism Affects Your Night Vision<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only will wearing glasses for astigmatism at night help your eyesight, but it\u2019ll make you a safer driver. Treating your astigmatism means you\u2019re less likely to be distracted or misled by blurry lights while driving after dark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-know-if-you-need-glasses-for-astigmatism\">How Do You Know if You Need Glasses for Astigmatism?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"\/learn\/what-does-astigmatism-look-like\">Astigmatism<\/a> often presents with the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blurry vision at all distances&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Squinting to make vision clearer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty seeing at night<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eye strain or eye fatigue&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re experiencing any of those symptoms, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/appointments\/eye-exams\/booking\">schedule an eye exam<\/a>. They don\u2019t necessarily mean you have astigmatism, but your <a href=\"\/learn\/optometrist\">optometrist<\/a> will be able to tell you for certain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-level-of-astigmatism-requires-glasses\">What Level of Astigmatism Requires Glasses?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll likely need glasses if your astigmatism has a strength of 1.0 or more. But even if your astigmatism needs less than 1.0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/what-is-a-diopter\">diopters<\/a> of correction, it doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t need glasses. The exact strength of your prescription doesn\u2019t matter as much as your comfort and your optometrist\u2019s recommendation: If astigmatism noticeably affects your vision, then getting an eye exam and prescription glasses is recommended.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people have astigmatism that\u2019s very mild and doesn\u2019t disrupt their vision\u2014but you should always leave the final diagnosis to an optometrist. Sometimes, you don\u2019t realize how blurry your vision has become until you experience the corrected version during an eye exam!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-type-of-glasses-do-you-need-for-astigmatism\">What Type of Glasses Do You Need for Astigmatism?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have astigmatism, you\u2019ll want to look for the right kind of glasses. Certain frames or types of lenses will be more helpful than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"do-you-need-special-glasses-for-astigmatism\">Do You Need Special Glasses for Astigmatism?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll need prescription glasses with cylindrical or spherocylindrical lenses, which are different from the lenses found in <a href=\"\/learn\/single-vision-lenses\">single-vision glasses<\/a> that only correct for nearsightedness and farsightedness. (Sorry, you can\u2019t borrow glasses from your nearsighted friend.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-you-wear-over-the-counter-reading-glasses-for-astigmatism\">Can You Wear Over-the-Counter Reading Glasses for Astigmatism?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not typically. Picking up reading glasses from the drug store might sound convenient, but these glasses won\u2019t do anything for your astigmatism and might even exacerbate some of your symptoms. We never recommend store-bought reading glasses in general because they likely won\u2019t be an exact match for what your eyes need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you can get prescription <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/eyeglasses\/reading\">reading glasses<\/a> that also account for astigmatism. Consult your optometrist to explore this possibility!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-happens-if-you-don-t-wear-glasses-for-astigmatism\">What Happens if You Don\u2019t Wear Glasses for Astigmatism?<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t wear glasses to correct your astigmatism, symptoms such as blurry vision, headaches, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/eye-strain-symptoms-and-treatment\">eye strain<\/a> won\u2019t go away on their own. You\u2019ll either continue to experience them and their effects on your eyesight, or you\u2019ll have to pursue other methods of vision correction, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/contacts\/toric-astigmatism\">toric contact lenses<\/a> or refractive eye surgery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not wearing glasses for astigmatism won\u2019t make your astigmatism worse, however. The severity of your astigmatism has nothing to do with whether or not you\u2019re using corrective lenses to treat it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-glasses-are-best-for-astigmatism\">What Glasses Are Best for Astigmatism?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When shopping for astigmatism glasses, you\u2019ll want flatter (not wraparound) frames and lenses with anti-reflective coating. Here are some of the factors to consider:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lens Type<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have astigmatism, nearsightedness, or farsightedness, then your glasses will likely need single-vision lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need vision correction for additional conditions, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/what-is-presbyopia\">presbyopia<\/a>, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/eyeglasses\/progressives\">progressive lenses<\/a> may be the best option for you. These lenses have different zones for each kind of distance viewing and can treat astigmatism simultaneously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given that eye strain is a common astigmatism symptom, you might also look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/eyeglasses\/anti-fatigue-lenses\">anti-fatigue lenses<\/a>. In addition to your prescription, these lenses include a boost in magnification at the bottom that makes for easier screen- and book-reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lens Material<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The severity of your astigmatism may influence the lens material you choose for your glasses. For mild or moderate astigmatism, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/polycarbonate-lenses\">polycarbonate lenses<\/a> are a great option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if your astigmatism is more severe (say, greater than +\/-4.0 diopters), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/what-are-high-index-lenses\">high-index lenses<\/a> will give you the vision correction you need while maintaining a thin profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lens Coating<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/anti-reflective-coating\">anti-reflective coating<\/a> is a must for glasses for astigmatism. Astigmatism can cause bothersome distortions around lights, especially at night, and an anti-reflective coating reduces glare and distracting reflections that can contribute to these symptoms. (At Warby Parker, anti-reflective coating comes standard with all of our lenses.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Frame Style<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with astigmatism can wear any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/glasses-styles-and-shapes\">style of glasses frame<\/a>, but the curved nature of wraparound frames may cause visual distortions. Look instead for frames with a flat front, and of course, take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/how-should-glasses-fit\">fit<\/a> and your personal sense of style into account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adjusting-to-glasses-for-astigmatism\">Adjusting to Glasses for Astigmatism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wearing glasses for astigmatism for the first time may feel strange. New wearers can experience side effects such as dizziness or a distortion called the fishbowl effect, which makes the edges of your vision appear slightly curved. Your eyes might need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/adjusting-to-new-glasses\">a few days or so to adjust<\/a>, and if you\u2019ve never worn glasses at all before, it can take a bit longer to get used to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give yourself some time and talk with your optometrist if you notice any new or worsening symptoms.&nbsp;Other people may not need much of an adjustment period at all. Either way, for most people with astigmatism, glasses will provide a new and improved way of seeing the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, you\u2019ve been diagnosed with astigmatism.
