Can You Wear Contact Lenses if You Have Astigmatism or Presbyopia?

/ Focus Vision Care/

Good news: Yes, you can wear contact lenses even if you have astigmatism or presbyopia! Here’s how it works.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism happens when your eye isn’t perfectly round, causing blurry vision at all distances.

Solution:

  • Toric contact lenses are made specifically for astigmatism.

  • Available as daily, bi-weekly, or monthly lenses.

  • Some toric lenses are also colored or multifocal.

  • You’ll need a prescription from an eye doctor for the right fit.

Presbyopia

Presbyopia is age-related and makes it harder to see up close, like reading a book or phone screen.

Solution:

  • Multifocal or bifocal lenses have different zones for near, far, and in-between vision.

  • Monovision is another option: one eye wears a distance lens, the other a reading lens. Many people adapt quickly.

Comfort & Safety

Contact lenses are comfortable as long as:

  • They fit properly

  • You see an eye doctor

  • You follow care instructions
