How Can Astigmatism Be Treated and Can It Be Recovered?

Astigmatism is caused by the inconsistent curvature of various meridians on the surface of the cornea or lens, resulting in the inability of parallel light to form a focal point on the retina. Mild astigmatism can be corrected by wearing frame glasses, contact lenses, and other methods, and there is a certain possibility of recovery. For patients with moderate to high astigmatism, surgical treatment can be used to improve vision, but it is usually unable to fully restore to normal. I. Mild Astigmatism

1. Frame Glasses: If the patient's astigmatism is mild and does not affect vision, no special treatment is required, and it can be corrected by wearing frame glasses.

2. Contact Lenses: If you don't want to wear frame glasses, you can also choose to wear soft contact lenses, commonly known as contact lenses, which also have a certain corrective effect on mild astigmatism.

II. Moderate to Severe Astigmatism

1. Surgical Treatment: If it is congenital astigmatism or severe astigmatism caused by acquired diseases such as keratoconus, corneal transplantation, refractive cataract extraction, and intraocular lens implantation may be considered to improve vision. In daily life, attention should be paid to eye hygiene, avoiding prolonged use of electronic products to prevent the aggravation of astigmatism. At the same time, pay attention to a reasonable diet and appropriately increase the intake of foods rich in vitamins, such as carrots and blueberries, which help protect eye health.
