If a patient is not nearsighted but has astigmatism, he or she can be treated by wearing glasses or refractive surgery to correct the astigmatism and improve his or her vision.
1. Eyeglasses: Eyeglasses are commonly used to correct simple astigmatism, which are safe, convenient and inexpensive, but they may affect the patient’s appearance to a certain extent, and it is also inconvenient for the patient to play sports.
2. Refractive Surgery: Refractive surgery is suitable for adult astigmatism patients, who are treated by corneal laser surgery or intraocular lens implantation to correct astigmatism. Refractive surgery can free astigmatism patients from the dependence on glasses and make it more convenient for them to play sports.
It is recommended that patients with astigmatism consult a doctor in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose the appropriate treatment for their astigmatism.
